Right after the touching moment, Eddie challenges the player and loses, like everyone else who ever challenged the player so far. The player returns the car to Samantha to make amends, and she gives the player a choice of a wide body kit for his car.
Both run a circuit race worth the other's vehicle, which the player wins. Around the same time, the Player sees TJ in Samantha's recovered car, now working again, but has been vandalized. When the player comes close to reaching #1 in all kinds of races, Eddie tries to once again get rid of his rival. TJ takes the junked car for himself after the event. Samantha totals her Civic's engine trying to beat the player, unsuccessfully. Later in the game, the player builds enough hype to be too hard to ignore, so Eddie challenges him to beat Samantha in a sprint race before coming after him the player's willingness in going for it infuriates her. First, he mocks the player's skill, saying he has a long way to go to 'roll his streets'. The player's successive victories do not impress Eddie. He is introduced to TJ, who promises unique performance upgrades in exchange of beating time trial challenges Samantha does the same from time to time, offering unique visual modifications instead. The player meets other racers, and eventually gathers a small list of nemeses that continually challenge him and are defeated. Eddie (and his orange-metallic Nissan Skyline), is the leader of the Eastsiders and current top racer of the streets, and Melissa (Amy Walz) is his girlfriend. Samantha is the player's friend in the new environment she shows the player how the console with the races works, who's who, and makes fun of the player's starter car. only to be woken up by Samantha (Cindy Johnson) from his daydreaming. The player starts straight into the action, at a circuit race driving a uniquely styled Acura Integra Type R with a Mantis wide body kit, easily winning over his opponents. Underground was 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 a generic city at night called Olympic City, though the city bears some resemblance to New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles. It was the first game in the series to offer a career mode featuring a storyline, and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars with a large variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades.
Underground rebooted the franchise, ignoring the previous Need for Speed games which featured sports cars and exotics. Two different games were produced, one for consoles and Windows, and the other for the Game Boy Advance. Need for Speed: Underground is the seventh installment in the Need for Speed series, and was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts in 2003.
