Learn how to get those sweet magazine covers in Need for Speed Underground 2! We break down the process, camera controls, and list all 20 magazine requirements.

Alright, so you're cruising through the career mode and Rachel calls you up. She's got a gig for you – a magazine cover shoot! You'll get a text too, telling you where to head. Look for that star icon on your map, that's your cue.

Once you roll up to the star, you'll get a time limit to reach another spot in town. Don't sweat it too much; the game gives you more time if the destination is further away. Just gotta drive smart!

When you get to the photo location, you might have a few options:

a. Cycle Cameras: You can switch between four different camera angles. The options you get will depend on where your car is parked.

b. Show Off: If you want to get fancy, stop your car completely. The doors, hood, and trunk will pop open automatically. Looks pretty slick!

c. Control Car: This is where you get to be the director. Drive your car around and get it into the perfect pose for the shot.

d. Take Picture: Once you've got the pose just right, you can take a preview shot. If you're not feeling it, just hit the button to go back and try again. If you love it, lock it in!

Sometimes, the photographer will just snap the picture the moment you arrive, so don't be surprised if it happens automatically.
