EA's Nintendo only release gives us one of the best third party racers on the wii.

User Rating: 8 | Need for Speed: Nitro WII
By Wiicodmaniac | Review Date:
Need for speed nitro has been a disappointing franchise so far for the wii. Though a few of them have released on the system, not one of them has been very good.EA atones for it with need for speed nitro.
There is not much of a story in the game.you basically have a bronze, silver, and gold cup, with 5 different locations in each. The only difference in each cup is that the cars get better.

Presentation-7.5
+cool menu design
+solid customisation
+many cars
-only one play view
-not enough variety in locations

Audio-8.5
+nice selection of music
+cars sound exactly like they should
-lack of variety in soundtracks

Graphics-8.0
+cars well designed
+environments look cool with graffiti
-environments look fake

Gameplay-9.0
+very solid controls
+variety of control options
-learning curve is present

Lasting appeal-7.0
+different cups and wish to unlock higher rankings
-very little variety

Overall-8.0
Need for speed nitro offers arguably the best third party racing game on the wii. Whether you're a race addict, or a veteran wiimote wielder, this game is undoubtedly worth a play.

    This game is excellent. I honestly don't know what was wrong with that guy. First of all, the cars are easy to control once you get the hang of it. One of my friends picked it up in about 5 minutes. Time attack games run... Read Full Review
