Need for Speed underground Rivals

Music : 8.8
graphics : 7.6
game handling : 9.4
sounds : 10

pros :
-great graphics, for handhelds.
-Awsome controls, easy to use. Even people that are not good with racing games can do well on this.
-SFX are awsome. Engine roar, nos, going through a tunnel, everything sounds superb and realistic.
-Music is great for racing.
-Has some legendary cars like skyline, supra, old american muscle cars, viper, etc

Cons :
-doesnt have a wide variety of cars.
-When racing, random cars comes out from corners out of nowere. And when going 260MPH i cant turn in time. That equals crash! Then im last place. And in Most stages, if your on the left side, random cars come from the left side. If your on right, they come from the right. This always happen when im leading. It cery annoying and very stupid. Cause why is there cars comming out like this in a RACING GAME!
-Cant sell cars to make money, all money is earnt from winning races.

niice review!
haha

Dude, I just got Need For Speed Rivals, and It's not as bad. The graphics are ok I guess, but compared to Ridge Racer...nah. For my overall, I'd say I'd give it a 8.9 Out of 10

-I agree with what you have down for the review.

As far as im concerened Need for Speed Underground Rivals is an amazing racing game that is just another chapter in the need for speed series. it might not have thew graphics that rige racer has but it is fun to play so i give it a 8.5 out of 10

i personally hate the random trees is the levels. turns dont bother me.

A DOWNLOADED NEED FOR SPEED, MAN AM I GLAD I DIDNT BUY THE GAME. I DELETED THE GAME OFF MY MEMORY CARD AFTER 5MINS. The Graphics are AWFULL!!! Nothing compared to the PS2 version.

True. I don't like the Graphics on it much either. Did you try Ridge Racer? Dude, that game has amazing graphics! All I'm saying is try it out.

Hey guys, anyone know where I can download the manual to this game?? I am having a hard time figuring out how to do a "career" thing and slowly build up my ride and buy more parts and cars. The difference between this NFS and NFS Most Wanted 5.1.0. is that it has lots of different races... and I don't know which are the ones I must race to get more money to buy more parts.

Thanks!

wow. Oh and I suggest

im a racing fan to i think ridge racer is better thean need 4 speed rivals but burnout legends is the best of em all cause if u get tired of racing u can crash stuff and unlock stuff for it!

Any tute to how to Drift Attack properly?? I can't win any of these challenges!!!

ok wat i do is get going then on a turn tap the brake then hold left or right(depending on the turn direction)then if the car was in front of you its just gone!!!!(bye bye)full turbo!

I am still having trouble mastering the drift attack. I am slipping all over the pace, but not where I should. Plus I don't know if I need to gain speed before I try to drift, because some areas are too close to each other. Can anyone draw me a sketch of how to master this???

same, i havent mastered it either. Even if the car isnt drifting, its still hard to control for for some reason, almost like your driving on ice.

i have to say that i dont like that game very much it was the first game i bought when i got my psp and it was fun but i hate haveing to do the same race 3 times and if u mess up ur out of the race i personally like most wanted better but thats just me i would give it a 5.5/10.
