Parents need to know that this E-rated game is geared toward a teen and adult audience, not young kids. The game highlights street racing, which is illegal and very dangerous. You'll also find subtle advertisements throughout the game, from car manufacturers such a Nissan and Hummer to billboards that highlight some of the largest automobile companies in the world. Like the game's predecessor, half-dressed women, including former E! "Wild On" host Brooke Burke, appear throughout the game.
I may be a girl but i still love this game, it's super fun! I like to customize my cars and everything else. And i honestly don't see any bad thing about it.
This is a really fun game with a nice storyline. You can customize cars so that you cant tell what it originally looked like. Cruise mode is lots of fun and there are always plenty of people out on the street to challenge. The only reason why I can see people calling it 12+ is because of the girls at the starting line, but how can that hurt anyone?
Here is what I think of this game:
1. The clothes on the women may be slightly revealing, but not that much. Its not severe enough to make you not buy the game.
2. No prob with language
3. Only a moron doesnt know that street racing is illegal and dangerous. If you dont know that, then you, my friend, have very uncaring parents.
This game is appropriate for everyone in my opininon. I let my 5 year old cousin play it and he loves it.
A few notes: 1. If you notice how CSM calls the revealing girls a Sexist addition, its not. The definition of sexist, in short, is Discrimination between sexes, not Women in revealing clothes in a kids game. Another thing: They complain about the commercialism of car brands. Well what are they supposed to do! I like the fact that they use names like Nissan 350z instead of just saying Sports Coupe. Its all in realism and entertainment, CSM!
One of the songs ("Get Low" by Lil' Jon and the East Side Boyz) says some words that are sexually offensive, and you don't want kids going around asking what they mean.
CSM needs to get real.
The game is soooo much fun.I play it all the time and I love customizing ur cars. I reccomend this game to everyone even girls (like me) cause guys may say it's a boy gams but it's not.
Beware though, u will get addicted and my eyes turn red from staring at the computer screen and it looks like I have pink eye.
NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2 IS A SWEET RACER. THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT UPGRADES AND PARTS ALLOW U TO PERSONALIZE AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR RIDE. CREATIVITY IS VALUED IN THE TUNER WORLD AND THAT IS PORTRAYED QUITE WELL IN THIS GAME. IT HAS GREAT GRAPHICS, EXPLORING IS ALWAYS FUN AND NOTHING INAPROPRIATE. A GREAT BUY!
You know, this game is one of the BEST (emphasis on best) game I ever played. Realistic physics, realistic cars, realistic designs... just about the only thing it donesnt do is give you a pat on the back after your photo finish.
