Talk:Need for Speed: Underground

Help

I have a Russian version of NFS: Underground. When I play the main mode "Underground" the message "the engine has explosed" ("взорван двигатель") when trying to go faster appears, however there is no tuning at this second level. If anybody knows the answer, please reply to FDNY at yandex dot ru :) Brandmeister 21:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

In the EN(US) version of NFSU2 for the PS2, the only time it says anything like that (for me) is when you are in a drift race, and it says "Blown Engine" if you don't shift fast enough, I don't have the original NFSU, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Hope that helps :) --Wulf 05:47, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

In the UK version, i've only had that message if i don't shift in a drag race and let my engine temperature rise too much. Xp132476 11:05, 28th November 2006

Drift & speed

It is not 100% correct to state that "speed does not matter" in the drift mode, because the points for drift is multiplied according to the speed of the car, what doesn't matter is the time needed to finish the laps.--DelftUser 20:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

in fact speed does matter and if it falls below a certain minimum the screen says too slow and the points get credited and and the counter starts again....have edited the same.gunslotsofguns 22:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

There's a lot of stuff here about what fans thought, what the industry thought etc without references. mgekelly 17:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Nitrous Oxide

This may explain the absence of nitrous oxide in this mode, since it serves no suitable purpose in this situation.

What does this mean, "absence of nitrous oxide"? Of course you don't need laughing gas in this game. I don't play this game, so other readers are likely to not understand this.--75.26.11.48 03:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Ahahahahaha, oh man that was one of the funniest things I've read. No my friend you've misunderstood that statement, Nitrous Oxide (NOS) while sometimes used as an anesthetic, is also used in Car Racing to allow engines to burn oxygen faster by injecting Nitrous Oxide into the Fuel Mixture. So when in this case it's referring to it's use in racing, and yes in the Drift Mode there is no NOS because it doesn't matter how quickly you get to the finish, only how many points you get. And besides I don't think it would be that helpful even if they had it, as Drift tracks have lots of tight corners and sharp turns and very little straight road to use NOS to get some speed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gamer112 (talk • contribs) 06:57, 16 December 2006 (UTC).

Melissa?

At the end of the plot, the article says, "A challenger who, after being beaten by the player, reveals to be Eddie's girlfriend, Melissa." However, just below it, in the characters box, it says Melissa is the player's girlfriend. Which is it? Joe D 21:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Cars section=

Most of the other Need for Speed games have a section devoted to the cars available in the game. Just curious, but this one doesn't, and I'm wondering why? Perhaps it was deleted for some reason? This game was geared toward a different crowd as the previous games, as there was the potential for people to build & race cars that they own/could potentially own (less exotic). As this opened a door for an entirely different group of fans, I'd think that at least some of them would've added this section by now. Zchris87v 21:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Seventh? Tenth?
