In time, the player develops too much reputation and hype to be ignored by Eddie, who proceeds to challenge the player to race Samantha in order to continue upward in the ranking boards. Eddie is the current best underground racer in Olympic City and unimpressed by the player, berates and bullies him for his racing skills, going as far as throwing cash at him then telling him to "take a taxi home so that he can get home faster", and signaling for a taxi cab to pick up the player in an event. Eddie, the leader of the gang and his girlfriend Melissa take notice of the player.
Samantha also issues time trials to the player, her rewards being unique visual modifications instead.Įventually, the player draws the attention of The Eastsiders, after racing their members Chad, Kurt and Todd to climb up the racing ranking boards. In event #7, she introduces him to T.J, a mechanic who rewards him with numerous performance upgrades and parts, provided he wins his time trials challenges. She kickstarts the player by introducing him to local street racers such as Jose (who offers Circuit events), Klutch (who offers Drag events) and Dirt (who offers Drift events). She helps the player buy his first car, although she pokes fun at the player's choice of the car, regardless of the vehicle chosen, saying "ouch, that's seriously weak, dude". Samantha is the player's contact in Olympic City and she tours him across the import culture scene and illegal street racing therein. He dominantly wins the race only to be woken up by Samantha from his daydreaming. The player begins the game in a circuit race in Olympic City in a white Honda/Acura Integra Type R, sporting unique vinyls and a wide body kit. Underground was critically and commercially successful, and was followed by Need for Speed: Underground 2 in 2004. Rather than exotic cars, Underground featured vehicles associated with the import scene. All races take place in the fictional Olympic City.

Underground rebooted the franchise, ignoring the previous Need for Speed games which featured sports cars and exotics. Three different games were produced, one for consoles and Windows, and the other for the Game Boy Advance along with a version developed by Global VR for Arcades that was published by Konami with assistance from Electronic Arts. It was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. Need for Speed: Underground is a 2003 racing video game and the seventh installment in the Need for Speed series.
