Critics slightly praised the game because for injecting new "tuning" life in the franchise, despite primary complaints of repetitive tracks, unbalanced rubberband AI, unrealistic tuning, excessive use of random traffic, and lack of an online feature in the GameCube and Xbox versions, and lack of Free Roam was widely criticized by gamers.
Underground sold almost 4 million copies worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words reception and/or sales:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
