Need For Speed Nitro for Wii Review & Giveaway
Racing games are loved in this house and this is our first one for the Nintendo Wii. The Need For Speed series of games has been a favorite of ours over the years on different consoles, and Need For Speed Nitro is another fun version of it. EA just released this game on November 3 for both the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS.
Some of our thoughts on the game:
- You can use all different types of controllers with this game - if you don't have a steering wheel you can still play.
- Skipable tutorial on the controls of the game that comes up on each new load of the game - handy for a reminder on how to control or if you are using a different controller than before
- You can customize cars - buy & sell cars, unlock items by performing well. This creative part of the Need for Speed series has always been a favorite part for Taylor (at all ages).
- Unlock new cities as you go - it's always fun to get new parts unlocked and expand the game
- The cars are based on real cars, but the paint jobs are out there!
- Graphics are not like the Need for Speed games for other consoles - on the Wii they are a bit more cartoon-like and less realistic, but still very cool
- Rated E 10+ for mild lyrics and mild violence - we haven't seen any violence really except the car crashing - no fighting that we've seen or anything.
- Up to 4 players - always great for sharing!
As I said, this series has always been a favorite for us and for friends and family when they visit. A perfect holiday gift for all the racers in your family!
