The game also comes with 50 real world commercial, performance and super cars that you can fully customise with your own colour schemes, graffiti, art work and body parts. The game includes a number of gritty race event types across the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Madrid, Singapore and Dubai, and include race circuits, eliminator events, drag races, time trials, drift challenges and speed challenges. While car enthusiasts and motor racing purists may scoff at the lack of high definition detailing and the realistic driving experience that you'll find in some of the latest racing sim games, Nitro is a great arcade racing experience that never gets dull. The animation style in these games conveys the fun, vibrant arcade gaming experience that the Wii stands for, and like the Wii, doesn't take itself too seriously.Īll of this applies to Need for Speed Nitro and it works exceptionally well. Nitro has done away with the back stories, and the aim of the game here is to race your way through five scenic cities and a bonus Grand Prix level.Ī number of games released by Electronic Arts for the Wii this year have used a stylised animation presentation, which I think has captured the essence of the Wii experience very well. Previous versions of the Need for Speed series on the Wii have suffered from poor story lines that detracted from the overall racing experience, in some instances serving to remind you that you weren't even supposed to be a real racing hero. The first positive thing to say about Need for Speed Nitro, is that the series has gone back to its roots, delivering a great arcade street racing experience that focuses purely on the racing. Race events include circuit races, drag races, eliminator events, speed camera challenges and drift challenges, and with a selection of control schemes that really do shine, racing game fans are in for a high octane racing experience from start to finish.

Need for Speed Nitro delivers a number of high speed street racing events across five of the world's great cities, with the option of driving 50 customisable commercial, performance and super cars. The difference in the raw driving experience between Nitro and its predecessors is massive and instantly noticeable, and with a no-nonsense arcade street racing experience, NfS Nitro is a truly solid racing title for the Wii.Ĭhildren, Teenagers, Adults, Racing Video Game Fans
