Need For Speed: Nitro, Getting overlooked?
Glad too see EA take the NFS series back into some arcade roots. Picked it up on sale and I gotta say I'm impressed. I'm in career mode and it seems pretty hefty with 6 locals and 8 missions per location for a total of around 50 challenges per career cup (Bronze Silver Gold). Missions consist of Circuit, Elimination, Time Attack, Speed Traps, and Drag. Includes co-op in career too. Over 30 cars to buy then a special edition of each car to unlock by completing challenges. I'm not sure if there is difficulty settings but its quite a challenge to get all the stars on some missions so far, there is auto assist for drifting that I have off. For controls you can use Motion, Wiimote + Nunchuck, Classic Controller, or even a Gamecube pad its good too have all 4 choices with 4p Multiplayer support. EA really went all out on car custumization with the ability to paint your own car free hand or with preset designs using the wiimote. Multiple parts are selectable and morphable for each part of your car(Hoods, rims, body kit, ect). So far its a great racer, may end up as one of my favorites of this gen up with Burnout Paradiseand Flatout: Ultimate Carnage. Art style is very unique with the track changing to your style as you go. Definatley refreshing after the bore frest that was NFS Shift

Fun for the kids
The game is rated E +10 but my six year old son loves it! The rating is for some mild language but you can turn down the volume of the music or un-check the songs you don't want to hear in the options menu. Easy to play with the Wii Wheel.

Mario Kart with Lamborghinis
I am very disappointed in this latest installment of the NFS franchise, for two reasons. First, the driving experience is unrealistic, and second, the graphics are cartoonish. As for the driving experience, this represents a giant step backwards from NFS Underground or Carbon. Steering and braking are heavy and imprecise even with the "supercars." It's just not as much fun as the previous versions. In fact, it's a lot like Mario Kart. If you have a six-year old son, he will enjoy racing with (or against) you in the co-op Career mode. If you're a serious racer, you'll be disappointed. As for the graphics, the cars are blocky and lack detail. Plus, they've deleted what my teenage son considered the best feature of Underground-- the ability to customize your ride with vinyls, rims, body kits, etc. All in all, a very lackluster effort.
