Need for Speed Nitro definitely fills the void of racing games on the Nintendo Wii but that doesn't mean by default it is worth buying because of this. What I mean is that I definitely wouldn't place it up alongside the other Need for Speed games, even the earlier Gamecube releases. The art style and visuals are very up to scratch with the Wii and the control options are plentiful, which is good, but the game lacks in content. I think overall there are five tracks and the cars mostly handle the same. I also hated the rubber band AI. Yet this still has alot of customisation options to it, Nitro operates much like a quick, easy solution to a pick up and play racer which requires much practice to get the most out of. The fact there is a Wii racer worth playing is an encouraging thought atleast, this is a fun game despite it's flaws.
