I recently picked this game up, and I must admit, it's very nicely done.
Enjoy the review!
Story:
Unfortunately, this game lacks a true story. In the game, you're Ryan Coopper (not sure on the spelling :P), a young guy trying to win the title of Street King. You work through different street racing sponsors, competing in different types of races and slowly working up to the final challenge: the tournament against the street king.
Story Score: 4.0/10
Controls:
The controls in this game are pretty easy, even the most unfamiliar gamers will have at least the basic controls down in minutes, and soon after that they would be able to dominate the basic races.
Controls Score: 7.8/10
Graphics:
This is one of the games more redeeming features. The graphics are very nicely done, the cars are great, and the backgrounds believable. And the humans are done extremely well (they are probably the best I've seen on Wii so far...). Unfortunately, the game boasts the ability for cars to take damage. This is done ok, but they really could have put some more effort in to this part of the graphics.
Graphics Score: 8.1/10
Gameplay:
The gameplay is great, you can get a decent amount of hours out this game trying to get and mod all of the cars, dominate all of the "Race Days", and trying to figure out all of the cheat codes. The game boasts 4 types of challenges, which are:
- Speed Challenge Races
- Drag Races (1/2 mile, 1/4 mile and wheelie competitions)
- Drift Races
- Grip Races (four modes of grip: normal grip, grip class, sector shootout and time attack)
- Top Speed Challenge Races
After winning "Race Days", you receive money to buy and mod your cars. Buying and modding all of the cars can take hours!
Gamplay Score: 9.7/10
Overall Score: 7.4/10

The Nintendo Wii is approaching the end of its life; it’s been a great 6 years. While its been looked down on by many Gamers; as a Wii owner I can honestly say that I’ am satisfied, what the Wii Didn’t have in power it made up for in games and great Fun. Its a great console to play with friends and family, and on top of this had a great library of great online and single player games. This list is a personal testament to all the games I have enjoyed over the years. Please note only games I have played (or put sufficient time into) will be on this list. Let’s get started.
