It's incredible how well this game holds up graphically. It's probably the number 1 racing game I'd recommend for a low-spec PC or laptop. Recently I got it running on my kid's old-ass laptop. It runs at 1080p, medium settings, at 60 fps... It's great.

[@salz_]

There's just two things, actually THREE things I hate in this game. 1. Catch-up 2. Drag races 3. 111 career races. Still love this game to bits though.

[@Threelapz]

111 races is insane lol

[@flame_101]

At least the career races isn't as boring as UG2, imo

[@contra7631]

@@flame_101 Both games are fun in my opinion.Even though I was always a more fps gamer.I still somehow had the mindset to complete both games.Newer racing games are what I will call boring and you don't get any motivation to complete them.

This is likely the most difficult of the OG NFS games.

hot pursuit 2 on ps2 is wayyyyy more brutal. AI rubberbands to catchup but wont rubberband to fall back when they in the lead.

13:58 Never noticed this before. Samantha was mad the player was all about racing and didn't want a piece of her 😂

[@nep5089]

I remember back then the rubberbanding was hard on the later stage so you just downgrade your car to make the enemy a bit slower

[@amonus69420haha]

Im pretty sure underground 2 and most wanted replicate your performances but underground 1 never had randomized opponents so they would be the same

[@TRRDroid]

@@amonus69420haha No, downgrading in Underground 1 also downgraded your enemies. The best thing to do on the events with extreme rubberband imo is to disable nos, cause the AI literally cheats with it (unlimited uses)

[@MrMichaelNoble]

I love the old NFS, in fact I’ve just got Underground 1 & 2, Most Wanted, Carbon & Pro Street all running on my gaming laptop & I couldn’t be happier right now laying in bed & playing through them all at night

[@rattleheadcs6758]

this reminded me of the same struggle i had playing this when i was 7. im 24 now and able to finish this game in a few hours and it never gets old and the rubberbanding still makes me wanna punch the monitor. You earned my sub sir.

[@sirsaj]

If I recall correctly from back in 2003, in hard you only get to go "good shift" for 2 times max (some times only 1 depending on the map length), the rest of them need to be perfect shits. We did this quite easily back in the day. Also if you get all the shifts on perfect you wont have to worry about traffic because the timing will be so that the traffic almost hit you but just missed, granted you will have to figure out the best path that offers the near missing timings.

[@Razvioli]

i finished this game so many times i lost count. I finished it most times all game on hard difficulty. But the drag race with the 3 RX7s. Or the 7 lap race, Pain.

[@de4ds1ghtcsgo94]

I finished them all on hard 😂 that last race though😅

[@Underground3]

5:49 If the opponent slow down for you in racing games. Then that a red flag that this game has some of the worst rubber banding imaginable.

Old favorite. Me and my brother used to do drag races in split screen a lot, and the rx7 was unbeatable. If I remember right it could be pushed to 240mph or beyond.

[@tomkat492]

You were leaving a lot of nitrous on the table in that first drag race, but I'm glad to see you still stuck it out. Underground 1 is a great game, it's just also got some very 2003 aspects to it 💀💀💀

[@woltarioplays]

Now that is what we call Need For Speed! Compare this to unbound.. Unbound makes me sick, the driving, stupid passes, etc. Everything is so bad in the newest nfs.. only graphics are good. But look at this legend of a game, the feel, the adrenaline, the hardness... Sometimes you really had to try a lot to win a race, and that's freaking fun! Drag races, omg, motion, the speed, everything is OG. Why they can't create something like this, or NFSU2 or NFMW...

[@SuperLeosid]

"Most Wanted levels of rubberband" My bro, this game invented the most brutal rubberband. Btw, in drifting you're supposed to tap hand break in order to change the direction your car is facing and continue the drifting. Also, apt title!

[@SMEARGLEX75]

You Tap the Handbreak to turn better? I'mma test this later.

[@SuperLeosid]

@@SMEARGLEX75 It worked just like that for me, I'm not sure if it was some other mechanic and I was confusing it for the handbreak the whole time.

[@MrRetroIsland]

on drag races, use all nos starting from 3rd gear. top speed is not important, acceleration is key to win drag race even on hardest difficulty

[@vapor4179]

Need for speed UG 1 was the most brutal on the hard difficulty. back in the day was so much fun but damn she got the nerves to kick your ass.

[@Mr-Magnificent]

Always pick the RX-7. Its the best car. Switch to manual shifting, its not that hard and your can use the full potential of the redline up to 10k rpm mainly using 4th and 5th gear.

[@ciavalen.rie.143]

Both drag racing and drift racing are arguably the most frustrating race modes of all time, but I prefer drag racing more than drift racing cuz I mastered it. Drifting is so much of a drag (no pun intended).

[@arthurmiklaszewski6217]

Skill issue doesn't make a game bad. It's a great game, I recommend emulating it on a stronger android phone if you can't get the console and/or the physical game itself.

[@dilligafzilla]

the key to winning drag races on hard is using rear camera to block ai otherwise they are just faster and win every time even with perfect gear shifts drift is super easy but using wrong car might be the issue either of two mazdas are the best for drift (or anything aside for drag actually)

[@PhattPhatt07]

For Drag races: Bro what are you DOING?! Stop using your NOS with little BS bursts and just USE IT ALL AT ONCE! The reason you fall that far behind is because you ain't using all of your NOS. You need to use it all to get ahead. I personally spam the NOS after 3rd gear.. unless my first 2 shifts are terrible. Also.. you need to take advantage of draft when you can. There's several times you could've gotten behind the other cars to get that boost. It's basically free NOS you ain't using. Also.. i know a ton of people hype the Skyline like crazy.. but in drag the RX7 and even the RSX are very nice. The RSX being the easiest to shift.

[@justgivenofox9543]

[@mikebusy5955]

use the nitro fast at the beginning leave just a bit for unforeseen circumstances. You want to get to top speed as soon as possible, it might not be max speed but you are looking for the best average speed to win.

The drag races are always painfully unfair. Traffic cars appearing out of the nowhere because yes. The car doesn't Switch lanes even when you're trying to force it. The AI goes way beyond faster than you, or they even make you crash, when sometimes it doesn't even happen. Yeah, unfair lmao.

Is it underground 1 or 2? Drifting in these game was special. You had to do Ss in straights and if you could link it with the corners, that's when you made mad point. Now if you could do so from start to finish, 💯 gg

Nfs ug1 rubberbanding is crazy

[@thecommenternobodycaresabout]

I, unfortunately or not, got used playing soft body racing games. I would have been very careful and efficient in every corner. Finally, U1 is truly one of the most unforgiving to bad players racing game out there and GrogTV finished it with a Peugot 206 from start to finish.

@someguy8951 oh it's definitely unfair in a lot of games and levels. I hate Street X in UG2 😂 cause the AI is so powerful 🙈

[@yeez13]

This game is way easier if you never upgrade your cars because it breaks the game’s rubberbanding AI People who’ve played through that one race towards the end of the game understand how ridiculously hard it is with all your upgrades and even more so when you see how much they’re forced to hold back because you are too. After that one race, though? Smooth sailing 👍🏽

Underground 1 was a savage game. It's programmed to make you fail at any cost. The KI can drive through walls. There are invisible walls for the player. Random civilist cars can spawn right in front of you. Yeah the game is hard as fuck. If you start playing you need to prepare your anus.

[@nazarskalskyi]

I just completed this game in two days. All on Hard, and driving assists off (yes, there is a driving assist toggle in settings), I've no idea where you found races difficult. Drag is easy, cuz you just watch behind and don't let them pass you. Drift is the easiest s*t ever, especially if you played Forza. Oh, and did I mention that Underground 2 has 222 races, two times as much? :D Bro, you need more practice if this game is hard for you
