In general, nothing betrays a person's belonging to the lower classes of society more than the ability to understand expensive watches and cars.
Victor Pelevin, “Generation‘ P ’”
Many old-school programmers insist that a car should not think, but should drive. Without explicitly arguing with this obvious truth, the developers from EA Games have once again combined the “car that thinks” with the “car that drives” in the world of underground racing in the county town of Enska.
However, if you were expecting a revolution, I have to disappoint - it is postponed. NFS Underground 2 became one of the sequels of the famous racing series, without turning the standards of the genre upside down, although the fanfare of the announcements and promised a revolution in the gaming industry. From one side there were exclamations of delight, from the other - sighs of disappointment. Many aspects of the game have migrated from the previous series unchanged, although there are some innovations. Successful or not very good - now we'll figure it out.
All rise, the court is in session!
Let's put on purple robes, be filled with reason and try to weigh all the pros and cons, in order to ultimately pass a fair verdict on our “defendant”.
Accusation
The plaintiff insists that the game infringed on the rights of the gamer under the articles "malicious arcade" and "dubious physical model", and also violated the citizen's right to dynamic gameplay enshrined in the Constitution. In addition, there are several clear indications of bugs filed into the case. As a punishment, the prosecution insists on immediate uninstallation without overwrite rights, followed by disk defragmentation. Lawyers call most of the charges trumped-up, while appealing to a variety of mitigating circumstances.
After reviewing the case file on two CDs and conducting investigative experiments, including a test drive, the prosecution supported its position with the following arguments.
- The tracks are rather arbitrary and have rigid boundaries, where a 10-centimeter curb or beveled corner is the same obstacle as a vertical concrete wall.
- In any collision, cars are not damaged. Therefore, sometimes it is even more profitable to crash into a wall and "slide" along the curve than to slow down and fit into it.
- The physics of the game world depends on the rules of the race. This even changes the function of the keys. For example, the “left” key sometimes means “turn the steering wheel to the left”, and sometimes it means “lane to the left”.
- The vast majority of car parts do not affect its behavior on the track - including parts specially designed to improve aerodynamics: streamlined bumpers, spoilers.
- The elements of the car's design cannot be completely matched to the player's taste - you have to focus on the “visual rating”. For example, sometimes you have to put yellow neon lights instead of green ones, and stick around the sides with dozens of gaudy stickers. The view is terrible, but the rating is high.
- In the city, the player spends about a third of the total playing time, which deprives the game of a fair amount of dynamics. Indeed, in order to take part in the next race, you need to spend a few minutes on a mechanical ride to the place of the event along the already known streets.
- Track maps are often different from the actual terrain. So, the S-shaped turn of an underground tunnel on the map looks like a straight line without hints of bends. Some alternative paths are not shown on the map, and sometimes the branches that are allowed from the point of view of the map are physically inaccessible.
- The number of different tracks is much less than the number of races required. For this reason, the player has to go through the same already painfully familiar route more than a dozen times.
- The power of computer opponents is understated. Even in Hard mode, victory in many types of competitions (Circuit, Sprint, U.R.L.) is achieved mechanically and is not particularly difficult.
While acknowledging good graphics for the accused, prosecutors nevertheless draw the attention of judges to the peculiarities of drawing "civilian" cars, highlighting their variety, relevance, behavior and rich color scheme as the main drawback of the graphic side of the case.
Protection
The defendant's lawyers studied the materials provided and made counter-theses. Their main position was that the arcade nature of the game does not carry corpus delicti, but, on the contrary, emphasizes all kinds of advantages of the game, personifying a democratic compromise between harsh realism and fairy-tale fantasy. The presentation was accompanied by the following theses.
- The entire NFS series is essentially arcade. Therefore, it is impossible to admit that the next game, even if it raised the degree of arcadeness to a new qualitative level, was punished for the traditions of the entire series.
- Heavy-duty cars are specially designed not to lose their beautiful appearance after a hundred or two collisions. Regular and tedious repairs would look worse.
- The design of the car is designed for a younger youth audience, so the main emphasis is not on driving performance, but on attractiveness and originality. The meaning of the words “cool”, “super”, “elite”, “fashionable” and “stylish” was presented to the court in the form of a separate explanatory note.
- The same considerations caused a fairly easy passage of the game, and those who want to complicate their life may well sell a turbo engine or set themselves the task of "overtaking opponents by a whole circle."
- Visual rating only plays a role in the early stages. After completing the game, you can at least clean the car of tuning traces altogether.
- Changing the physics of the world to suit the rules of the competition will not cause inconvenience to the vast majority of players. In addition, the game does not claim to be a realistic simulator and does not set the task of teaching the player to drive a real car.
- The city is beautiful enough on its own to make traveling through it a pleasure. It also contains hidden shops, bonuses, hints, and special events, making it worth exploring. On the street, you can arrange a race with other drivers.
- Finally, the defense suggested that all races take place in an airless space. This explains both the lack of pedestrians throughout the city and the lack of connection between body aerodynamics and vehicle performance.
At the same time, the defense was forced to admit shortcomings such as inconsistencies between map and terrain, errors in the physical model, and the small variety of race routes compared to the total number of events. However, according to lawyers, these flaws are so insignificant that they do not have a significant impact on the gameplay. In addition, they called on the court to take into account the following mitigating circumstances.
- All car models are made at the highest level.
- For wealthy car owners, the game provides the opportunity to keep not one, but several personal cars in the garage.
- The terrains are so fancy that the game is a lot of fun against the backdrop of their graphical splendor.
- The sound even takes into account the nuances of entering and exiting a tunnel, creating an atmosphere and enhancing the sense of presence.
- Numerous video effects, slow motion collisions, beautiful jumps and intermediate screensavers complete the pleasant experience.
- Finally, NFS Underground 2 was praised by many independent Need for Speed experts.
Verdict
After a short deliberation, the court issued the following ruling.
Deny the plaintiff to satisfy the complaint, without further considering the issue of uninstalling the game. To recognize extenuating circumstances as significant, however, taking into account numerous complaints, to reduce the assessment of the game to “order”. On the main charge, assign a suspended probationary period, limiting the gameplay to "hard" mode.
The latter requirement, according to the court, will help maintain the reputation of the accused. This concludes the meeting.
And only the wind brought the sounds of discordant chanting to the courtroom: “Down with foreign cars! Nissan won't work! Our car is "Moskvich"! “Mos-Kvich”, “Mos-Kvich”! ”.
They are met by clothes
Having recorded another triumph of justice in her logbook, Themis retired. And we, having finished with the assessment of the pros and cons of the game, proceed to consider all kinds of innovations.
So, first of all, we got at our disposal a small, but still a city. It is inferior to the vastness of GTA or True Crime, but the journey from one end to the other still takes 3-6 minutes, depending on the model of the car and its “stuffing”. This is a lot. It will not be possible to avoid exploring the city blocks - after all, most of the competitions take place directly on these streets. It is worth separating a part of the city with symbolic barriers, as the highways turn into a highway, where fair competition of hooligans in expensive cars is designed to reveal the strongest. Keep in mind that civil traffic continues on the streets and the clumsy white cars of law-abiding residents are a big problem.
In the intervals between high-speed races, the player is left to himself and is free to ride around the city as much as he wants.
It is interesting: a pity, a pity that there are no pedestrians on the streets of the city. When you want to run over someone, you have to cynically throw an oncoming car off the road - because there is no one else.
Encouraging the desire for “freer driving,” city blocks are jam-packed with cash bonuses, valuable directions, and auto shops. Tellingly, most of the stores are not initially visible on the map - they appear as they are discovered.
The emergence of the city inevitably brought with it new types of competitions, adapted for it. So, some of the oncoming cars will agree to participate in the game of “catch-up”. And in order to be photographed on the cover of a magazine, you have to catch a meeting with a photographer in a limited time. In truth, these types of competitions do not have a radical impact on the gameplay, but they do bring variety.
NFS Underground 2 has not done without new car models. And even talking about the schedule is completely indecent - of course, it has become better.
Passing
|
Terrible Hummer on the warpath. |
It all starts with the fact that you get a great car at your disposal, but immediately find out - it is in order to drive to the nearest garage. There he will be regularly selected, and instead of him there will be a chance to choose a suitable wreck without a hint of tuning. Apparently, the player should first feel all the power and beauty of a good car, and then strive for it for the rest of the game.
Moving around the city, you have the right to choose the competitions in which you want to participate, as well as stop by shops, pick up cash prizes (a pack of glowing bills) and useful tips(red icon with the letter “i”). From time to time, wait for phone calls and SMS-messages - your friend and mentor Rachel will give advice or a friend will share "secret" information about where the race is taking place, not marked on the map.
For reference: GPS helps a lot in navigation. Pointing an object on the map gives you a huge arrow above your head indicating the path. Be careful on bridges - it is easy to get wrong with the direction of the arrow.
|
The story unfolds on the pages of a comic book. |
The walkthrough itself is all about winning races, upgrading the car, and photographing it for DVD covers. While in the city, press the T key - you will see the percentage of completion of the game, the number of open shops and parts, your visual rating, as well as a lot of other equally useful parameters. By clicking "right", you can see the list of tasks required to move to the next level (there are 5 of them). These objectives include total wins, Underground Racing League (U.R.L.) wins, number of cover photos required, and additional requirements for your sponsor.
A few words must be said about sponsors. At the end of the stage, you choose the next sponsor. He will give some amount of money right away, and he will appoint some in the form of prizes for victories. In addition, the sponsor provides one additional car, which can be obtained from the Car Lot. But in exchange for all these benefits of civilization, you will have to win several additional competitions, secure a certain number of victories and get on the required covers. And for whom is it easy?
Each next stage opens up another part of the city for access. From time to time, a certain race, which unexpectedly turned out to be key, begins and ends with a plot video in the best traditions of comics. The bad guys (and not only the guys) are crafty and plan to beat you on the track over and over again, but alas, they will be disappointed.
The plot is crowned with a kind of "fight on the Kalinovy bridge" - a one-on-one racing duel with the main bad guy. As it turns out, he also does not know how to ride.
It is important: Please note, the game may end much earlier than the percentage of completion reaches 100%. And all because this percentage is nothing more than the ratio of races already completed to the total number of races available in the game. And for the passage, everything is not needed.
Shops and tuning
The shops (see table # 1) is available in all districts of the city and is shown on the map as colored circles. They are of the following types.
- Car lot(blue circle) . Car market where you can buy a new car.
- Performance shop(blue circle). Improving the performance of the car, tuning the engine, transmission, trip computer and so on.
- Body shop(green circle). Visual tuning of the car - bumpers, headlights, skirts, wheels, mirrors ... Do not affect driving performance.
- Car specialties shop(yellow circle). Additional tuning elements are mainly cosmetic and do not change the overall geometry of the body. Window tinting, lighting, nitrous exhaust tinting, hydraulics, spinners and other "bells and whistles". Everything except hydraulics does not change the behavior of the car on the track.
- Graphics Shop(red circle). Coloring of car parts, stickers and logos.
- Garage(purple circle). It's not really a store - a regular garage. It is useful in that it allows you to change from one car to another or replace parts. Of course, if they have already been purchased.
| Table 1 Shops in city districts |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As I already mentioned, some stores (one of each type) are visible on the map initially, and the rest will have to be found. Unfortunately, the "secret" shops are located in fairly obvious places and are easily discovered (see map). The opening of the next store is usually accompanied by the appearance of new products on the trays, even in already opened stores of this type.
There are two ways to create a complete set of parts and improvements for your vehicle.
Individual order. Having received a list of available parts, you can install an arbitrary set by selecting them separately.
Standard kit. Usually - three typical combinations of parts available for purchase, as they say, "in bulk". The analogy is not accidental - the whole kit is cheaper than the parts included in it.
But first you need to choose a car. We will talk about this now.
Auto Market (Car Lot)
Quantity: 4
Icon color: blue
The auto market is a communist store. Having chosen a car, you will not have to pay for it. Apparently, it is assumed that taking money for such a trifle as a car without tuning does not suit decent people.
All models presented on the showcase are copied from “living” prototypes with a sufficient degree of reliability. Their characteristics, obtained by scrupulous research at the stand, are presented in the form table no. 2 .
I will make a reservation right away - it is possible that some individual cars were not included in the list. Perhaps the choice of a different sponsor in between the stages will lead to the appearance of a different model in one of the positions. The data source for the list is 100% completion of the game in one of the possible ways.
Since I have already mentioned that quite real brands and models have become prototypes for gaming cars, let me briefly tell you about each of them. So that this section does not begin to resemble a car catalog, I will try to tell only about the characteristic features of a particular model.

Audi TT
Cadillac escalade
Cadillac Escalade is the first SUV of the famous American brand, a classmate of Lincoln Navigator and Ford Excursion. Built on the same platform as the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe, the Cadillac Escalade borrowed a lot of parts from its cheaper General Motors cousins.
When the first generation Escalade debuted in 1998, many argued that the Cadillac Escalade was nothing more than a make-up Chevy Tahoe. But the 2002 model received many changes, additions and modifications, and critics had to come to terms with their plight.
Ford focus
A car in which there is no compromise. Powerful and economical, fast and safe, compact and roomy, it combines advantages that at first glance cannot be embodied at the same time. Predictable and obedient - and at the same time awakening sports passion. A car with the character of a winner.
Comfort and safety were paramount in the creation of the Ford Focus. Still, Ford Racing Director Dan Davis said: “This is a car that can go straight from the sales floor to the racetrack. It's not just a tool for our ideas - it's a road car ”.
Ford Mustang GT
From time immemorial, the most remarkable feature of the Ford Mustang GT is the roar of its engine. Once this even served as a pretext for an unflattering comment, they say, “barks, but does not bite,” sounded at the presentation of the 1994 model. In 1999, thanks to the good sound insulation of the engine, this reason for reproach ceased to be relevant.
Honda civic
The Civic first appeared in 1972. During the entire production period, about 14 million vehicles were sold.
Honda Civic is an unusual car. Only the number of doors and external dimensions remained from the traditional hatchback. For the rest, the design of the car combines elements of different classes. Honda Civic turned out to be a very outstanding, outstanding car.
Hummer h2
The Hummer was developed in the 1980s by AM General Corp. for the needs of the US Army and was originally called HUMVEE (high-mobility, multi-purpose wheeled vehicle). During his "service", he performed at times the most incredible functions: from a field ambulance to a mobile unit for launching missiles.
The market version of the Hummer H1 was practically no different from its military brother - the only thing that is not included in its package is combat weapons. The second urban version of "Hummer" appeared a little later and was named H2.
The car can easily climb a mountain with a slope of 60 degrees, or drive along a 40-degree slope without overturning.
It is interesting: At the recent automobile congress in Detroit, USA, Microsoft demonstrated the Hummer H2 SUV equipped with a Windows-based on-board computer. On this occasion, even Bill Gates himself spoke at the congress. He stated that by 2006, 30% of all cars will be installed software Microsoft.
Hyundai Tiburon GT V6
The car is designed on the platform of the front-wheel-drive Elantra sedan. Like the Elantra, it is a front wheel drive vehicle with independent rear suspension. Its V6 DOHC engine is also used in Sonata executive sedans.
While developing the design of the new model, the manufacturers took the look of the Ferrari as a basis, so the Tiburon looks like a smaller copy of the 456GT. But in an attempt to improve the design, the developers clearly overdid it and added a lot of ridiculous and completely non-functional details.
Despite the powerful engine, the car's ride is not “sporty”. The limited capabilities of the Tiburon are particularly noticeable in tight cornering and active driving.
Infiniti G35
When Lexus decided to venture into the sports sedan niche where BMW had reigned supreme with its third series, it launched the IS300. The novelty was first introduced in 2001 and is equipped with a six-cylinder three-liter inline engine.
The sporty design, unusual for a Japanese car, is suitable both for night races and for daily trips from point A to point B. The car undoubtedly liked the fans of hot driving, but many of them wondered: where is the manual gearbox ?!
Lincoln navigator
Despite its impressive 5.4-liter displacement, the V-8 develops just 300 hp. Therefore, Lincoln picks up speed without fuss, with dignity, passing cars forward. With such a frontal projection area, you won't be able to frolic especially.
The brakes are fully “electronic”. Four-channel ABS, EBD electronic brake force distribution, Panic Assist emergency brake booster. The brake pedal is on the floor - and the Navigator seems to rest against a tight rubber barrier.
A curious detail - when the ignition is on, the fog lights are constantly on: Navigators are for the most part brought from Finland, where, as you know, everyone drives with light around the clock.
Mazda Miata MX-5
Mazda Mitata pioneered the development of sporty compact convertibles. The highest handling and dynamics have created the image of a legendary car.
Thanks to these circumstances, the Miata has become the world's best-selling sports convertible. Mazda Motor Corporation announced that it has produced a total of 500,000 convertibles to date.
Orange leather seats and body are the main distinctive features car.
Mazda RX-7
I was not able to understand how the ancient RX-7, which was discontinued in August 2002, fell into the line of the most modern sports cars. Moreover, with running parameters surpassing its direct successor - RX-8. However, let's leave it on the conscience of the developers, or maybe on mine - you never know, what if I missed something important?
And this is a very eminent Japanese with a fairly ancient history. The sports model 3000GT became popular back in the 90s of the last century. The already mentioned American magazine Motor Trend named it the best import car of 1991.
Of course, a lot has changed to this day. According to bench tests in NFS Underground 2, this is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) car in the game.
Mitsubishi eclipse
One of the most popular sports coupes of the Japanese company Mitsubishi. Four-wheel drive, 210-horsepower turbine engine, large brake discs, stiff front suspension and short springs.
Clear lines, "polished" appearance, engine with a working volume of 2.4 hp. front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are among the main features of a sports coupe.
The four-cylinder 16-valve engine with two overhead camshafts is paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.
The 240 SX comes standard with a long list of features, including touch-screen windows, low-back bucket seats, leather-wrapped seats, a steering wheel and a gear knob.
Nissan 350Z
This is a sports version of the famous Nissan Sentra sedan, which first hit the market in 1998. The machine is based on the original original models XE, LE, GXE, GLE. The series is based primarily on external attractiveness and comfort.
Nissan Skyline GT-R
The French brand Peugeot has recently become more and more popular in the West. The most successful sales are the models 206 and 307, which have gained fame as "environmentally friendly" cars.
The emphasis in the Peugeot 206 is on performance and image. The vertical taillights with sharply curved angles, which even slightly extend into the rear wing, give the appearance of the car the character of a sports car.
In general, the car is characterized by stability and maneuverability while driving, regardless of the degree of workload. Several engine options are available for the Peugeot 206: from the economical Hdi diesel to the sporty 16 V.
Pontiac GTO
The GTO is based on the Monaro CV8 sports coupe from the Australian company Holden, as well as Pontiac, part of the General Motors concern. From this car, the American novelty borrowed the chassis, the general silhouette of the body and the 5.7-liter V8 engine. Its maximum speed reaches 240 kilometers per hour.
Toyota Celica is one of the new sports coupes of the Japanese company. The Celica is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
An important fact speaks about the purpose of the Toyota Celica: the car is equipped with six airbags as standard. And among the people, he received a charming nickname, more appropriate for a young girl.
Toyota Corolla
Best-selling Japanese car based on end-September 2000 results. Convenient and functional, without a hint of pathos. The soft and energy-intensive suspension handles bumps well. In high gears, the elastic motor “pulls” from low revs and accelerates the car. Toyota Corolla runs smoothly, without "bumpiness", stands on a straight line.
Not without its drawbacks. In corners, the Corolla rolls noticeably, and the diagonal buildup happens to it. The "stretch" of the gears does not allow to fully realize the fighting qualities of the motor. The steering wheel is not sensitive enough - it makes 3.5 turns from lock to lock.
Toyota Supra
The first Volkswagen Golf was released in 75 of the last century and became the ancestor of one of the world's most popular model families. And then it was generally a revelation: presented as the successor to the famous "Beetle", the first Golf really shaped the small middle class car market. Perhaps this series can rightfully be considered one of the most ancient and honored.
The current Golf GTI has gone a long way from its eminent predecessor. And the main external features still allow you to recognize in him a relative of those glorious cars of the 70s.
Performance shop
Quantity: 5
Icon color: blue
This is the most useful, or rather the only one useful store on the streets of the city. Only here you can buy not stickers, not “stylish” spoilers and not even an audio system, but tires, a turbo engine or a 6-speed gearbox. Improving engine performance, adapting the on-board computer to an unusual driving mode, lightening the car - everything is here.
Engine
|
That's what acceleration means! |
I will not tell you what an engine is and what it is customary to use it with. All engine upgrades increase power and torque in one way or another - install them as soon as possible.
On-board computer (ECU)
The electronic filling is designed to simplify the driver's work as much as possible, entrusting most of the tasks to “smart” technology. However, you have to use the car for a different purpose, so some functions of the computer system only interfere. For example, a car speed limiter - why do you need it? Take it away immediately. True, this is a paid service.
Transmission
Here, another, no less important part of the car is tuned for the needs of the race car driver - the one that transmits torque from the engine to the wheels. Accordingly, all improvements aim to minimize energy waste. It is also possible to expand the “stuffing” with a 6-speed gearbox.
Suspension
There is a parameter in the behavior of a car on the road that is even more important than speed and acceleration. This is the degree of "obedience" of the car, not least of all dependent on the device and suspension configuration. The better the car is adapted to the tests that lie ahead, the better it will fit into the corners and the less it will lose in cornering speed.
Nitrous Oxide
This thing is useful when you need to get additional acceleration beyond what the engine can provide in normal operation. Nitric Oxide Refueling is the number one improvement in your racing career, don't overlook it. In addition, for beautiful drifts, jumps and other spectacular stunts, the game rewards you with an additional portion of this simple chemical compound. If the option is not installed, this effort will be wasted.
Tires
The main role of tires is to provide traction. Accordingly, the better they are, the shorter the braking distance will be and the less chances there will be to fly off the track without fitting into the turn due to slippery tires.
Braking system (Brakes)
The ability to brake is no less important than the ability to accelerate. The brake applied at the right time and in the right place will save you from a collision and - paradoxically - from a significant loss of speed. Although, as we will see later, this rule is also not absolute, there are exceptions. Anyway, a good braking system doesn't hurt.
Weight Reduction
When it is no longer possible to squeeze additional power out of the engine, and on the road you still want to achieve more, no one forbids lightening the car by throwing out everything unnecessary. For example, remove the rear seats and other unnecessary interior furnishings. It's only strange why they also take money for these procedures ...
Turbo engine (Turbo)
As they say, comments are superfluous. I will only say that there are three types of turbo engines in Need for Speed Underground 2, plainly labeled as “Stage 1”, “Stage 2” and “Stage 3”.
Body shop
Quantity: 5
Icon color: green
Here you buy the basic parts that define the appearance of the body. To say that they are absolutely useless, the language still will not turn out - after all, to complete the game, you need photos on the covers of CDs, to get on the cover you will need to gain a certain rating of visual attractiveness, and for it, in turn, you need details from this store ... In general, a classic story about a house built by the famous architect Jack. So, the details.
Front Bumper
|
And it's beautiful, damn it! |
The list of bumpers available for installation contains 25 options for light sports cars and 6 for SUVs (Hummer, Lincoln, Cadillac). Visual rating - from 0.12 to 0.50.
Rear Bumper
The list is completely similar. 25 variations for passenger cars, 6 for SUVs. I advise you to consider the selection of the rear bumper even more carefully than to the front one, because you will see it all the time. Visual rating - from 0.12 to 0.50.
Side Skirts
One of the most popular and cheapest design elements in modern tuning centers. 25 variations for sports, 6 for off-road vehicles. Visual rating - from 0.12 to 0.50.
Spoilers
He is among the people - "wing", although this is not his only function. In the game, its function, however, has nothing to do with aerodynamics. For all types of machines, there are 40 varieties of this part. The visual rating received for the spoiler ranges from 0.10 to 0.80.
Hood cover (Hoods)
The hoods differ in the shape of the air intake slots. In total, there are 23 modifications in stock for all types of vehicles, increasing the visual rating from 0.10 to 0.80.
Air intakes (Roof Scoops)
They are placed on the roof of the car and are also, in theory, intended for ventilation. In fact, this is another way to attract the attention of the crowd, they say, "Look, what a garbage I have on the roof." The number of options is 51 models. Visual rating: 0.10 to 0.30.
Head Lights
They are available in 14 versions for passenger cars and 10 for off-road jeeps. Visual rating: 0.10 to 0.30.
Tail Lights
Side Mirrors
There are 20 types of mirrors for all types of cars, giving an increase in visual rating in the range from 0.08 to 0.24.
Exhaust Tips
Little attention has been paid to the various forms of tailpipes. However, it is logical - few people in their right mind would climb to look at them up close. There are only 10 variants of execution, rating: from 0.08 to 0.24.
Rims
The choice of disks is a little different from the previous parts. First, you choose the manufacturer, then the model and, finally, the disk size (the latter can be selected only for sports cars, and it does not affect the rating). There are 9 companies for SUVs, the best of which is NFS Underground 2. The fleet of car disks for cars is larger - 15 brands, several models from each. Best Wheels: Gianelle 5-0, Lexani ROMA and of course NFSU 2 LIVIA. Visual rating of discs: from 0.15 to 0.80.
Carbon Fiber Parts
As an alternative to paint, it is possible to cover car parts with carbon fiber. Appearance at the same time, it turns out to be quite unusual - the embossed texture of the fabric gives the case an elegant roughness.
Coverage is the same as purchasing parts. Only the visual ratings are obtained differently:
Bonnet covers: 0.20 to 0.80.
Spoilers: 0.20 to 0.80.
Air intakes: 0.15 to 0.60.
Mirrors: 0.15 to 0.60.
Trunk lid: 0.60.
Body parts (bumpers, side skirts and solid body parts): 2.00.
Wide Body Parts
This is an alternative to bumpers and side skirts. Instead of putting the aforementioned parts separately, you can decorate the car with solid embossed parts that combine all the listed parts. There are only 4 options that increase the visual rating by 2.00.
