    If the Wii is your only games console, then NFS: Nitro certainly fills a need; however we have to question if in fact such a need exists. Whatever the answer, NFS: Nitro is undeniably a valiant attempt at making it work well on the Wii - and for the most part it does, but its generally unforgiving controls and repetitive gameplay will not hold your interest for the long haul. Some of the franchised Nintendo racers are just more fun, plain and simple. Read more

    Need for Speed: Nitro is a good-looking game that boasts a dizzying sense of speed at all the right moments. You're afforded plenty of opportunities to leave your mark on the tracks with a good dose of interesting gameplay that is, for the most part, a lot of fun. It's unfortunate that the gameplay isn't more varied, but this is still a good, accessible arcade racer. Read more

    • Only one camera view, Not enough variety.

    Some kid will like it..... not that a G Rating instantly means this is for kids. Rent it, play it, take it back. I'm sure Santa brought you better games for Christmas, if he brought you this and it's still in it's plastic trade that bad boy in.
