hitting a car, doing some sweet powerslide and much more. Every car has
different things that it is really good at.
Career mode: Jumpstart your career by choosing one of the cars at the
start. Choose from brands such as Mazda, Volkswagen, Dodge, and more at the
beginning. Then as you make your up in the ranks in events such as Circuit,
Tournament, Drag, Sprint, and Drift.

style points by powersliding around some outrageous corners.
Graphics
The graphics on this game are awesome. Whether you are crashing through the
streets of China or you're cruising through Atlantic City you won’t be able to
resist looking around as you pass by on these highly detailed tracks.
Controls
This racing game has the best control ever! While on most racing games you
swerve and start spinning, N.F.S.U. has unbelievable control on the cars, which
enables you to some sick tricks.

The sound is sweet. Excellent choice of soundtracks. The coolest part? Drag
mode. Reving up your engine.
