Need for Speed: Underground Rivals

Overview

Need for Speed: Underground Rivals is a 2005 racing video game developed by Team Fusion and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation Portable. It is the first Need for Speed title released for the PlayStation Portable. It is a PSP spin-off of the Underground titles and follows a very similar gameplay style.

Race events take place only at night, and players cannot access free roam. Tuning is a major aspect of the game; to unlock more performance and visual upgrades, players must accumulate 'Upgrade Points'.

Players can play in both Underground (Career) and Quick Race modes. Underground mode is available on four difficulty levels. Statistics can be viewed on the driver status screen in My Underground.
