## Gameplay

The gameplay of Urban GT 2 is often compared to Burnout, Need for Speed and other titles as players can eliminate opponents by bumping through them, and evade or takedown police cars.[3] There is a wanted meter which determines the awareness level of the police if Nitro is used, takedown other competitors or causing urban havoc. much like the wanted level system in Grand Theft Auto \- if the red "WANTED" light flashes, it usually means that the players must do what it takes to avoid the police cars and police helicopter - otherwise they might be forced to pull over and lose their money.

Urban GT 2 was met with mixed reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 65% for the DS version;[4] 62% for the Mobile version;[5] and 30% and 42 out of 100 for the PSP version.[6][7]

Frank Provo of GameSpot praised the game's improvements over the original and its selection of licensed vehicles and respective upgrades,[3] but noted the game's poor AI. Andrew Hayward of Worthplaying however, was more critical of the game, calling it a "mundane exercise in repetition". Besides citing easy difficulty and AI problems, the use of the Pussycat Dolls was also criticised as being a "marketing gimmick".[10]
