Need for Speed: Underground 2 is the eighth title in the Need for Speed Series and was released in 2004. It is a sequel to Need for Speed: Underground and is the first Need for Speed title to include free roam. The game is based in a fictional city known as Bayview.
PLOT
Main article: Player (Underground Series)
The story begins after the player has beaten Eddie's street gang - "The Eastsiders" in Olympic City. The player is now revered as the best street racer in Olympic City. The player is called after the final race by a bald man with an "invitation" to join his team.
The mysterious bald man on the videoscreen tells the player that he "is not taking no for an answer." In defiance, the player abruptly hangs up the call.
The player is called by Samantha whilst en route to a celebratory party. She informs the player that the party is really kicking and the people they want to see player at the party.
An unidentified black Hummer H2 is seen waiting in a dark alley for the player. The call is suddenly interrupted by a dazzling light from the Hummer's headlights. The headlights blind the player while the Hummer instantaneously rams the player's Skyline in an effort to wreck it.
A man with a scythe tattoo on his hand rolls down his window following the collision and calls to confirm that he "took care of a problem."
Six months later the player appears on a plane flight to Bayview with a good luck note from Samantha that also refers to Rachel Teller as well as a car key with an engraved "Rachel" key fob.
The player arrives in Bayview to find Rachel's green Nissan 350Z waiting for them outside in airport terminal parking.
The player is instructed to head to a car lot and choose their first car. The money is provided by the insurance on the totaled Skyline. However, the player may enter three race events utilising Rachel's car.
The Wraiths
The player will encounter a man known as "Caleb Reece" whom is the leader of "The Wraiths" and turns out to be the driver of the mysterious Hummer.
Rachel reveals to the player that Caleb is attempting to take control of the racing scene in Bayview by manipulating the sponsorship deals in his favour.
The player eventually encounters The Wraiths. Their cars all have the same satin black paint job with a Grim Reaper vinyl along the side. The player also meets a female Wraith member named Nikki Morris whom drives a Ford Mustang GT.
She join the players side after they defeat her in a series of URL events. Caleb becomes infuriated by this and challenges the player to a final showdown in his Pontiac GTO.
