Whereas Need For Speed: Underground was a largely abstract series of events, number two embraces the current trend for so-called emergent gameplay', placing the action in a living, breathing' city, with even a vague storyline to back it up. Arriving in the fictional city of Bay View following an unsavoury incident six months previously, a car is waiting for you at the airport. No sooner have you put the keys in the ignition than some Doris comes on the blower telling you to give her car back.
Voiced by Brooke Burke, her CV also involves appearing naked for the gratification of men. In the game, she's a sassy broad' who introduces you to Bay View's thriving underground racing scene. In time-honoured fashion, you start the game with a nice little runner.
It may be adequate for picking up a selection of lonely meals from Sainsbury's, but it doesn't really cut the mustard in the high-stakes world of street racing. Some low-grade races soon earn you a few quid though, enabling you to pimp your ride, tweaking the performance as well as earning points for artistic merit, thus eventually securing magazine covers.
It's a tried and tested format, but one that works supremely well in this instance. Simply touring around the enormous city is a joy in itself, with a map directing you to the various shops and races, of which three new types are added. The story won't win any Oscars, particularly as it also features a cameo from Kelly Brook, but it does make it more of a rounded experience than previously. Musically, the EA Trax are again in full effect, this time featuring less hip hop and more shouting.
Ultimately though, it's all about the racing, which is rarely less than gripping. For an arcade game, it's even surprisingly playable with a steering wheel, with near misses causing no small amount of amateurish flinching. If you can't afford to attach largely pointless gadgets to your otherwise moribund vehicle, this is the next best thing. If I hadn't spent the greater part of the last few months playing Burnout 3: Takedown I would have loved Need for Speed Underground 2 , and in many ways Electronic Arts latest racer is better than Takedown, but just not in the ways that matter most to me.
Underground 2 is all about street racing and it excels at giving you a world of options for tinkering with your ride and having pick-up races however I just didn't find the mechanics that appealing and the story line seemed absolutely flat to me.
We've talked about a proper release of this on and off for years, and I'm not saying it'll never happen, but in case it doesn't here the tracks are for free anyway. CIC being actively subversive with graffiti writing robots, reverse-engineering video games providing instructions in several languages explaining how to do so , WalMart-legal-team-inducing barcode swapping databases and generators, technical metalcore before most had even heard of the genre s , and lots of other equally awesome and nerdy things.
Another experience of the band and a good read in general, you should probably check that out here if you aren't familiar with their back-catalog, as I don't necessarily feel that "Antenna Builder" is the best place to start. There was some form of this material publicly available online years ago, which seems to be generally lost to time.

Here were these surly guys from Providence, Rhode Island basically spitting in the face of one of the locals I watched this unfold from a vantage point behind the merch table, fully expecting an ugly brawl to erupt at any time. Fortunately these guys actually had level heads, and didn't recklessly defend their friend who, in the end, was clearly the one in the wrong.
Long story short: the tension was high the whole night, and their set sort of suffered as a result. The whole show did really, but it ended on a lighter note when some young attendee completely unrelated to all parties involved tried to start a drunken argument with the DAUGHTERS guys over it. He essentially ran away crying, which made NO sense but was pretty hilarious and shifted the mood a bit. Lo and behold, these big scary looking dudes were totally friendly, approachable and generally very warm people.
I hit it off with them right away with some mutual friends and interests, and was thoroughly blown away when they played. An enormous amount of equipment was lugged in and set up by these guys. Four longhaired n' lumbering, barrel-chested beasts dressed entirely in black loaded in a sheer mountain of music gear, nearly a WALL of amps, creating an absolutely daunting image.
The volume was incredible and the impact intense. I doubt it's everything non-album that they recorded, but its everything that I have or could find. I got as much of this direct from source as possible, and added in a few extra things that I've squirreled away over the years.
The two tracks from the "Patent Cruciform Casket" casket-shaped vinyl picture disc are also still available see below.

If God has gone to such great lengths to reconcile us to himself and adopt us into his family, how can we refuse? We must not! Father God, we offer you our hearts! O Gracious God, I know my sin has broken your heart and offended your holiness. Words, therefore, cannot communicate my thankfulness to you.
