This is the best ds game ever!
This game is extremly fun.You get decorate your car and give it better upgrades.Anyone who has a ds should get this game.

Almost Flawless
Overall: Overall, if you really enjoy the street car life, girls, cars, and the VROM VROM sound, then yeah, NFSU2 is for you. There are some flaws though, but overall, I would say with no doubts that this is the most fun game in the racing genra. If I had to say what the most entertaining part of the game is, I would definately say the customization by the way.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.5 - What I think that seperates NFSU2 is the customization. Driving around in your own boring stock cars gets boring, and just doing race after race just plain blows. Well, the guys at EA came up with the idea of being able to customize your performance, your body style, your paint job, and your specialties (neon, spinners). There are literally thousands of combinations of cars possible, and you can let the clown out in you and make a hilarious wierdo car, or let the ladies man come out, and make a rockin' pimp mobile. The only flaw in the gameplay, is traffic. Traffic was an idiotic idea. You'll justbe driving along, and you'll go on a turn, and you'll blindly smash into a car, and have to restart the race, and sometimes on really long races, this gets really irritating.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Sound
----------------------------------------------------------------
5.0 - The sound is what makes this game just plain awesome. The tracks range from techno, to heavy metal, to hip-hop. They already have them preset so the techno and heavy metal play when you're racing, and the hip-hop when you're in a shop. If you want to switch around when the songs play, you can by going to EA Trax in the menu. I have never ever had a problem with the sound. A+.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.0 - The graphics are really quite impressive in this game. Especially for a Nintendo DS. The lighting effects really impress me. The only problem is the crashes. If you look carefully, if you hit a car in a head-on collision, your front bumper will go through it, and come back out. Sometimes it glitches because it ends up loading while you're racing, and you will look like you're hopping. The graphics aren't the game's best feat, but they still are pretty dang cool.

Fun but challenging
NFSU2 is the best game-Hands down- made for the DS so far,yes even better than Mario "duh". The graphics are awesome but the music could be better. There are challenging parts in the game where you might become frustrated but you could try another game mode. Sometimes traffic gets on your nerves but it's all cool after you get the hang of cars going the other way. What I don't get is that almost every time an opposing car runs into you flip over. This game allows you to remake or coustimize the cars that you own. NFSU2 brings together ALL street racing characteristics. I give fun 4 stars and I would recomend this game to anyone.

WHAT A LIE IS A LIE!
make sure you all know that jurk who said what a lie was a company F****er HE WAS PAYED TO DO THAT
EVERYTHING IT SAYS IS ACTUALLY THERE THE BEST DS GAME I HAVE THE NITROUS is fun mini games get a lil hard music only problem is annoying graphics are better than mario
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!
This game is cool!The only con is the sound(drum beats are stupid).Anybody who didn't like this game didn't give it a chance.Also the fact that you need 2+ cartriges to play multiplayer.But the graphics and control more than make up for that!Overall I recommend this game to anyone who likes cool racing and pimpin out their car. ...

A great racer on the DS
I picked this game up a few days after I got my DS and it has kept me entertained for months. For some reason, this game got pretty mediocre reviews but for a launch title its pretty good. The graphics and sound are well done as well as the controls in my opinion. The game is a combination of arcade style racing and Gran Turismo style upgrading in a sense. You can buy and install upgrades for your cars although you don't see a difference except for paint or body kits. The main problem I have with the game is that the collision detection is shoddy and if you barely bump another car it sometimes skyrockets them forward while leaving you sitting there. Other times the computer cars seemed exceptionally good on certain races and downright stupid on others. Its too bad that the multiplayer requires multiple carts so I haven't yet tried the multiplayer. Of course once you eventually unlock everything the game isn't as much fun but its still a good diversion until some of the DS's better games come out.

CAR FUN!!!
This game had good graphics,fun levels,and cool cars but if you want a good game go get something like Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory. My advice is if you like stupid kiddie games get this. Other wise don't waste your money.

Despite..
Despite the fact this game was reviewed rather ' bad ' by the pro's im a 14 year old pro at games and i know my games. Most reviews complained the steering was bad. Well, its a racing game.. to me, a REAL racing game. At first, this game was a little shaky and frustrating while trying to drive, but i got into it after 2 races or so.. i think this game is a hot one out for the DS right now, and is better over ridge racer.

I only rented this game; and that was awhile ago; but i played it long enough to recognize this games capabilities

GRAPHICS: 4.5/5
SOUND: 3/5/5
CONTROL: 4.5/5
FUN: 4
OVERALL: 4 or 4.5


Buy it for someone with a knack of playing racing games while they are on the road.. :)

Terrible
This game is the worst game I ever played because when you are turning it is so hard to turn. Don't waste your money like I did.
I MEAN DON'T BUY IT.

Great Game
This Game is a great racing game.You can use nitro boosts to help u speed up during races.The car designs are awsome which include the hummer h2,corvette,lambohrgini diablo,and more.But need for speed underground 2 will probably a better racing game.So if you are patient wait to get need for speed underground 2 which is coming out in a month or two.But if your impatient and cant wait a month get this game or if your a racing fanatic get both.Hope this was helpful.Blue. ...

Its All Right..
Cool game. No biggy though. Asphalt Urban GT is better when it comes to control. Nothing special here. I say get a hold of a friends copy and try it out before buying. Better yet, wait until they slash the price...and then get it!
LATE!!!

a little good
This game is good,but you cant design your cars,its a little difficult.If you compare it to Asphalt Urban GT it will be a sht.
Asphalt lets you design your cars,its easier and it has more stuff.The gameplay of Asphalt is much better.Asphalt haves a lot of cars,a motorcycle and a go-kart.Dont waste your money on this and buy Asphalt Urban GT.For more info. in games you can e-mail me to:jeancarlo@libertypr.net

arcade racing !
my favorate arcade racer of all time is on the ds and its fun.but one thing straight this game is hard but still fun there is a great sense of speed i have 20 cars right now and there fast very fast.the computers are very smart and will often ram into you alot.you can also use the touch screen to drive and its very fun the graphics are great the lights swirve around alot.

Best Racing Game For the DS
Very good graphics and gameplay. Touch screen is utilized throughout the entire race. You use the stylus to steer. You can also play multiplayer games with one card- download play. A must buy, but if you can only choose one game- get mario.

What I think of Ridge Racer
My favorite things about the game

IT IS GREAT!! Here is 3 great things about the game: It lets you choose the exact color of the car from gold to dark red, Good graphics, and better then Metroid Prime hunters (First Hunt).

What I think of Ridge Racer:

I think it is for 7 to 12 year-olds because for 6 year-old kid it is hard to control. And boring and to easy for 13-year olds. I am a 9 year-old and it is sort of easy to control and is not boring. I think it takes 2 or 3 races to get it. ... Read more

Creative and a whole lotta fun!
GREAT game! Very creative and different, and most of all just a lot of fun. It is not a dating game, though you do go on a blind date in one of the levels. You have to achieve different goals by having conversations with different people. (By the way, you can play either a girl or a guy in the game.) It's pretty cool watching people's reactions depending on what you say. I would definetly recommend this game. I have been enjoying it very much and have never played anything like it before. It has become one of my favorites so far in my collection of DS games.

Nintendo's Wallet is the only thing to get lucky.
This is not a funky, hip, cute game. It is BORING.

Do NOT buy this game. I had a bad feeling about this game and avoided it like the plague until boredom and a lack of DS games led me to read the fabulous reviews here on Amazon. I reluctantly bought the game, and have been amazingly disappointed.

It is a frustrating conversation game, nothing more. What do I mean by a conversation game? Well, the top screen has the person you are talking to. The bottom screen prints what they say, and then you pick what you want to say back. That is IT. This game is a complete waste of the DS format. No touching involved, no timing, no dexterity... you can even select everything with the control pad and `A' button with no trouble at all. This game format is so incredibly poor that it could have been released on the Game Boy Color, and the only compromise would have been in how pretty the picture the person you are talking to is. I did not say GBA. I'm talking Game Boy Color. (Yes, this game is that far beneath the DS format.)

Why is this game frustrating? If you don't pick an exact sequence of responses within the conversations, or at least very close to an exact formula, the game is over and you have to start at the beginning of the `scene' again. When you complete THAT conversation, guess what? You get a new conversation to guess your way through and restart five times.

Worst of all, the conversation is NOT snappy, unique, or humorous. I played this game for about two hours, hoping it would evolve into something other than a seemingly endless string of mind-numbingly dull conversation patterns. It did not.

I don't know what I regret more - the money I spent on this game, or the hours lost playing it.

But I'm sure people will vote my review not helpful because they are fans of this game. Whatever.

The best game I never played.
Honestly, I never played the game. I simply never got the chance, as the game was hi-jacked by my girlfriend. Who simply ADORED Sprung! She played it over and over again. She laughed out loud. She blushed. Her toes curled.

My curiosity was piqued. I just had to know what the fuss was about. I just had to know why my Nintendo DS was being bogarted. After a few minutes of looking over her shoulder - I understood.

The game isn't your typical videogame, by any means. Instead, it is a "digital comic" - a popular game genre in Japan. (To date and to my knowledge, the only other digital comic game to have made it to U.S. shores was Snatcher for the Sega CD.) This game is essentially a "choose your own adventure" book, but with the added benefit of lush and modern graphics and catchy music.

The humor borders on adult and is well suited for a teen audience. Basically, it adheres to modern television standards. Ultimately, parents will have to decide if their child should play this game.

As it stands, the game is fantastic for young girls and guys alike. However, some of the more insecure guys may feel uncomfortable playing a game that doesn't involve mutilations and prostitute killing.

Not the best ever, but good for a laugh.
It's not the greatest game you'll ever play but it is rather amusing, and is something nice to pick up every once in a while when you're not looking for anything hardcore.

The game plays almost like a choose your own adventure book. Missions are given like : get these two on a date or make sure this person gets out of the club. Ultimately trying to hook up with your 'crush'.You control the way the story plays out, and there are alternite paths to go by. Interaction with people is purley on a multiple choice level, but it doesn't limit your interaction with characters.

You can also play the game as a girl or a boy, and unlock items you recieve from friends to help you with your goals and duel screen posters of major events.

Great Game!!!
Well, this at first was a game that I thought I wouldn't like. But it's actually quite fun!! I highly recommend it! And you can really learn some good dating tips from this ;) the whole game is like your living the life of this girl or boy, and you have to get the conversations right, or else gameover! But, you get unlimited tries at each scene, so don' fret if you mess up! It's somewhat like SIMS, but a more detailed talking, etc. and you don't live their entire lives. Anyways, very good game, good expresions, very fun overall! Enjoy! ... Read more
