Electronic Arts' Wii-exclusive racer, Need for Speed: NITRO hits, hits stores today and here are the first ten minutes of gameplay.
NITRO has a style unique to the Wii which works incredibly well -- bright colors, and driver-specific graffiti and tags that paint the world as you race by while in first place. NITRO also gives you the option to use just about any control scheme you could want outside of using the SEGA Saturn controller.
SPC writes, "Sunday is this week's kickoff of SuperPhillip Central content, and with it we see a retro review. The announcement of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to the Nintendo Switch saw the site developing a vested interest in arcade racing games. Last week, we took a look at Pac-Man World Rally, a kart racer. Now, we look at a different kind of racer with this retro review of the Wii version of Need for Speed: Nitro."
Is Need For Speed: NItro-X as good as the Wii version of the game? Not quite, but it's still cheap racing fun.
Had Nitro been given online capabilities the score would have been higher just on merit. But the lack of it, coupled with the "meh" presentation and production values makes this Need for Speed a hot rod with nothing impressive under the hood.
Glad someone's enjoyed and that video looked pretty good. The game may not have much detail but it's very smooth and fluid.
At least you can probably make the average turn without inevitably crashing. It does look mad smooth.
