The player races other racers and wins them over, eventually drawing the attention of Eddie, the leader of the Eastsiders gang and Melissa, his beautiful girlfriend. She introduces him to T.J, one of her acquaintances, who promises him with numerous upgrades and parts, provided he wins races. The player also encounters several street racing crews, some of them being Samantha's acquaintances who befriend the player after he proves his racing skills to them. She helps the player buy his first car, although she mocks the player's choice of the car by calling it "weak". Samantha is the player's friend in Olympic City and she tours him across the import culture scene and illegal street racing therein. The player races in Olympic City in a modified Honda/Acura Integra Type R sporting wide body kits and easily winning over his opponents only to be woken up by Samantha from his sleep. Underground was critically and commercially successful, and was followed by Need for Speed: Underground 2 in 2004. Rather than exotic cars, Underground featured vehicles associated with the import scene.
All races take place in the fictional Olympic City. It was the first game in the series to offer a career mode featuring a storyline, and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars with a large variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades. Underground rebooted the franchise, ignoring the previous Need for Speed games which featured sports cars and exotics.
Three different games were produced, one for consoles and Windows, and the other for the Game Boy Advance along with a version developed by Global VR for Arcades that was published by Konami. It was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts.
Need for Speed: Underground is a 2003 racing video game and the seventh installment in the Need for Speed series.
