Easily one of the most popular titles during the 2000s along with ''Winning Eleven''/''PES'', ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' and ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''.

The Magazine covers in the first Underground game were like achievements. T Here is one harder than the rest of them.
Added DiffLines:
* ThatOneAchievement: Four Magazine covers in the first game require the player to beat the developers' best times and scores in each category. Magazine #22 is considered to be the hardest Magazine cover to obtain of those four. To obtain it, you need to beat the developers' score on any of the Drift tracks in Go Underground mode on Hard difficulty. What makes this difficult is that you need a fully tuned vehicle to even think about sniffing near the scores posted, and there are heavily limited opportunities to do so. Also, you need to be a wizard at handling your car to rack up high scores in the 4 lap window. This achievement was so difficult to obtain that not a lot of people knew that it existed outside of looking at a guide.
