The pocket manual of rider-the perfectionist (Need for Speed: Underground 2)

Hello, my name is Zion and now 14 years later I decided to remember the past and pass Need For Speed Underground 2. We wanted some of challenge and full passage, but this game was very much not obvious questions to which I decided to join and collect in one place.

• Map of bonuses and hidden races
First, the game is divided into 6 stages, each of which separately appear on the map prompts(25-50$) and the green icons with the currency(50-400$). Secondly, in all stages except the first, we can participate in the hidden races which get much more cache. Below, for each stage, I spread the map of the location of bonuses and hidden races.

• A list of unique parts
The next point I want to touch on the race-a pursuit through the city. At each stage, we can drive to any racing car, press Enter and begin the race which aims to break away from the opponent at 300m. In the end we will receive a cash prize, but starting with the 2nd stage for completing a certain number of races provided in the award in the form of unique body kits or circuits 4 levels.

• What is reputation and how to treat it?
Unfortunately is the most sensitive issue, which made the experience somewhat disappointing. Here are my subjective observations and experience, so that information is not a stumbling block, but still very relevant. At the end of the race in past monetary allowance we get a reputation(from 0-300). It effects only the position at the start of the race URL. If by some miracle in the usual rings and sprints at a high difficulty, you managed to almost always 300 points, respectively at the start of the URL you will be in 1 row instead of 3 or 4. Exact figures can not give.
To score 300 points, you need to break away from the opponent which travels a 2, anything more does not influence the result, even if you fly on super sonic speed ring. Here emerged the biggest pitfall. The high complexity of all so shamelessly scripted, that the bots perform unreal turns and acceleration, which physically would imagine you are allowed. That is enabled Catch Up with whom from them you will not be able to break away. I even freaked out and downloaded the trainer function with up to 300 miles per hour and even in this situation, I could not ring for the race to earn more than 200 reputation points. What can we say about a car and a Dino tuning. Catch Up as I understand it only works on high difficulties, but it is not accurate.

Choosing the best car
Here I can only refer to the theme in VC (https://vk.com/topic-651606_28963936 ), where players who set world records offer specific cars for different race modes. In General, this question is individual and follow their advice or do as he solves everyone for itself. Also there is a graph which shows a comparison of all the cars on their Acceleration, top speed and Handling.

• Racing game
Starting from the 2nd phase after winning any of the races of the URL in the Showrooms comes the first Deposit of the wheels. These are the best 2 of the jeep, which is to make a choice, a Hummer will appear a bit later and looking at the chart above - it is the most useless suitcase. As soon as you sit behind the wheel of the jeep on the map will be a new race with orange circle - this is what we need.

• A few words about the Dino-settings
In General, if you have decided to take seriously the matter is the game worth the candle. That is, using these settings you can really seriously affect gameplay. For example make acceleration to 100 in 1.5 seconds, or the car on its hind legs to deliver. Infa scattered, something lying in VK, some video is on YT. Somewhere settings spread cause and kettles, and somewhere really assy of the business. Maybe the question is bulky, just denote that this is a useful tool in the right hands.

• Magazine covers and DVD
In General there is nothing complicated, but sometimes zatupki who, because of their negligence begins to slip on the subject. There are a couple of ways to get invited to the photo shoot. The first is to just take the race, second is to collect a specific number of stars of visual ratings. The most important point, the more your visual the run rate, the more you will get money for the photo, and maybe not all of the parts with high ratings look good, or adequate(shit spinners of all sorts) to deform and drive the session, I offered one particular car. And honestly, not the fact that this tuning will pay off. Just sponsor requires certain contract cover, and to get an invitation to them, you need to dial a specific number of stars, so a middle ground everyone is looking for himself, how not to overpay and to get the maximum benefit.


• A few words in conclusion. I apologize if somewhere I roughly put it. I hope someone will have a useful, if he tries to remember to ride good old classics of the genre. If you don't want to spoil the mood and nerves, turn off the high complexity. TC Catch Up mode ruined the entire balance and leaves no choice, in separate races. Otherwise, everything seems to be fine.
