Celica Forums General Discussion General brooke burke in need for speed underground 2

June 17, 2004 - Tossing hot women into video games never hurts. Electronic Arts knows this all too well, and has just signed cover girl Brooke Burke to star in Need For Speed Underground 2. Much of America (the male part, anyway) may know Brooke as a babe and all-around hottie, but the rest of America will recognize her from a three-year gig on E! Entertainment Television, where she hosted the show "Wild On."

But in Underground 2, Brooke will play a sassy, street smart organizer of infamous street races. Her character, Rachel, will take players through a gritty urban environment, coaching players into top racers. For her part, Brooke admits that her character in-game isn't too far removed from who she is in real life.

"I'm an absolute adrenaline junkie and car freak in real life, so starring in Need for Speed Underground 2 is a huge thrill," Burke said. "Need for Speed Underground 2 really captures one of the reasons I love my cars so much - they're a canvas for self-expression."

Need For Speed Underground 2 will feature over 30 licensed turner cars and hundreds of aftermarket parts, granting players vast Performance and aesthetic customization.

Stay tuned for the latest...



in this game, you will be able to do so much more than in the first one, like lambo doors and sound systems, tvs, etc. you will also be able to dyno your car and get hp and torque numbers. plus the city is 5x the size of the one in nfsu1. i've also heard that all of the brands will be real, not named somethin stupid like in the fist one. if you look at the pics of the green 350z you can see that the amps are jl, for example. i can't wait for this game to come out.

Yeah, I can't wait for that game to come out. Anyone know when it's due?

some time in november, no exact date yet. here's another really cool game i'm waiting on in september.

def jam vendetta 2: fight for ny...

I plan on picking it up... I saw a couple adds and one of the cars had a Buddy Club kit on it so its gonna be real brands for sure this time.

I found a vid clip on this.

NFSU Rocks, can't wait for 2!

yah, the green 350z has the Veilside logo in the front.

that game is gonna be the shit. i think i read that it would have "7 billion possible combinations for customizing your ride"

7 billion, i doubt it, but that's a big figure to work with.
anywho, I WANT THAT GAME

i can't wait for this to come out!

Well the first one SUCKED ASS ... so they are gonna have to do a hell of lot to impress me on the second one.

Wait and see ... I'm waiting for that SRS game.

Audio equipment in a race car?

Sorry, but it looks like a joke.

GT4 > all

The only reason I got the first one was because it featured a CELICA which I eventually "pimped" out in the game. I will agree that all the tracks were waaaaaaaaay too similar and that ruined the game. The car physics were a little sloppy and it had nothing on the PGR games. I liked the speed effect with the blured background etc. But for the next game they really NEED to kick it up a notch

BAM! like that

Darren in the link I posted they talk about all the things that were wrong with the first one and how they fixed them or made them better.

I thought NFS:U kicked ass!! So did Tokyo Extreme 3!! Can't wait for NFS:U 2 to come out...looks killer!! So does Def Jam Vendetta 2!!

Well, what they say they are going to do and what comes out in the final product is always different. I hope it'll be a good game.

NFSU, although not realistic, was a really fun game to play. I still havent beaten it, but i suck at video games. But it took quite a bit of my time.

Hopefully NFSU-2 will be just as good. Im looking forward to it and GT4

Personally, I'll be waiting to get my grubbly little hands on Street Racing Syndicate in August.

The free roam of the city, VEHICLE DAMAGE (which was promised for NFSU, but strangely left out), and realistic, dynamic, car physics (so they claim.. we'll see ) was enough to sell me. NFSU 1 had a lot of potential, but they flopped on what it could have been, I think. I'll have to keep an eye on NFSU2 as well, of course

looks a lot better then the 1st one... can't wait!

Isn't that what you kinda see in Supras, RX-7's, STI's, etc at import shows? I know i do.

yea i am looking foward to gt4 more because i spent 6 months of my life playing that game and i still play it.

i've beat nfsu 3 times and probably finishing it the 4th time tonight.

tiiiiight

I can't wait to get it...

Street racing syndicate look sweet too !

I'm waiting for "The Fast And The Furious" to come out. I was supposed to be released last Nov. But, due to all the other race games that were coming out they decided to hold off on it. It's now gonna be released in Dec. 2005. It should be good because they have learned from everyone else's mistakes. I'll just wait and see.

omg, that is going to kick some major ass. Definately buying that one

**

they are two diffrent games and can not comapre i have palyed the GT 4 prolouge a lot and its great but its very big diffrence in the two games.

ho tha hell runs a riced civic in a race any way... becuase it is a street racer game not a racing game,

hop this one isn't as easy as the first

I wont NFS2 the fast and the furious game and GT4 I just wont them to have the celica and there good for me

doesnt get much better then combining hot cars w. hot gilrs

since when is NFSU going to get it right??? They need to have a mature version so that when you win a race you get to see Brooke Burke strip naked for you.

^^True that, good point

Cant wait till this game comes out!!

sure it's a honda...but to answer your question there are 10 second honda all-motor civics in the NHRA sport compact races winning national events. The Turbo civics do 8 second passes, and that's in the quarter mile not the 8th mile. So be careful what you diss.

hopefully there will be more vids and stuff surfacing around the net soon.
