About Need for Speed: Underground 2

Need for Speed: Underground 2 is a racing game developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, released on 9 November 2004.

Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan 350Z in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

Shortly after becoming the top racer in Olympic City, the player is ambushed and their car is destroyed by an unknown assailant. Six months later, they relocate to the city of Bayview to start over, guided by a contact named Rachel Teller who introduces them to the local racing scene. As the player earns sponsorships and builds a reputation, they draw the attention of Caleb Reece, the leader of a crew called The Wraiths who is attempting to control Bayview's racing scene by manipulating sponsorship deals. Rachel reveals that Caleb is the same person responsible for the attack in Olympic City. After turning one of Caleb's crew members to their side and surviving multiple attempts to sabotage their career through rigged tournaments, the player challenges Caleb directly, defeats him, and claims the title of Bayview's best underground racer.
