I'm really glad to hear this news that Need For Speed to doing the whole Underground thing. Honestly, it's not the big departure than what they've been doing, so that marketing bullshit from the other day was totally useless. Nevertheless, I honestly hope they do a good job with it.
On the topic of Underground, I loved the first one much much more than the second one. The first NFS Underground was the very first racing game that made me care way too much for my car than a game should do. I loved my Mitsubishi so much, and never wanted to drive anything else. If they can capture that magic in the new game, then sign me up!!!
