In the fashion of earlier NFS titles, police cars play a part in your struggle to cross the finish first. This, coupled with straightforward race goals, a variety of exhibitions, and customization of specially licensed cars helps create a game that is more engrossing and welcoming than your typical driving simulation you can expect from other more recent Need for Speed titles. In terms of providing solid entertainment for casual racers, Need for Speed: Nitro does a pretty awesome job. Graphics are uncomplicated, clean, and vogue for their platform. Overall, Gametactics would consider this game a worthy contender and addition to any Wii game library.
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.
