It doesn’t look quite as amazing as its contemporary Need for Speed counterparts, but this Underground 2 revamp definitely brings the game back to life. “Man, its cooooool!!!!!!!!” posted one overexcited fan.

Another simply said, “Hell yeah.”

Granted, these aren’t gushing words from in awe fans, however, they do highlight how happy fans are to be able to play this game with “insanely modded” graphics.

For players longing for a more refined new-gen remaster, there are other fan-made projects that you’ll want to check out – like the stunning Unreal Engine 5 remake of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
