Games similar to NFS II? (nord.pub)

I really love the level design of Need For Speed II. It's at the same time intentionally unrealistic, but still feels "realistic" at the same same - as opposed to the cartoony feeling of the likes of Mario Kart.

So, what more modern games reach that atmosphere? Burnout Paradise to some extent, but even that loses by far to the track scenery design of NFS II. I've seen all tracks on NFS II SE so many times that something more would be good to find!

Metropolis street racer for the more underground vibe...an awesome game regardless. Dreamcast

Newer version of it, night runners is pretty damn cool
