The game is based around tuning cars for street races, resuming the ''Need for Speed: Underground'' storyline. ''Need for Speed: Underground 2'' provides several new features, such as a broader customization, new methods of selecting races, the "explore" mode (free driving). ''Underground 2'' also introduces several SUVs, which could be customized as extensively as other ''Underground 2'' vehicles and used to race against other SUV racers.

=== Cutscenes ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
Cutscenes in this game use the VP6 format which failed to render before {{revision|4.0-593}}. Now, cutscenes display, but show vertical line artifacting which can only be fixed by using software renderer. See {{issue|5046}}.


=== 16:9 ===
{{Problems/VP6 Videos}}
This game has 16:9 display capability, but requires setting the game to "Widescreen" mode in the game's internal options, and setting Dolphin's Aspect Ratio to "Force 16:9". Using the widescreen hack is not recommended, as it will cause graphical glitches.


=== {{s}}Nitrous Indicator{{/s}} ===
}}}}
Nitrous indicator sometimes shows that you have no nitro left. Fixed sometime before {{revision|4.0-5238}}.
 
=== {{s}}No Car Reflections{{/s}} ===
All reflectivity on the cars is broken. See {{issue|8072}}. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-5225}}.

HLE accurate, car lighting reflections work, and the nitrous meter is fixed, but cutscenes are garbled. Entering tuning at the garage, my car somehow fell off of the dyno and was hanging off the side of it but after entering a test race and coming back it fixed itself; also there's minor texturing issues, most noticeable around foliage or the letters when naming your profile.
