Need for Speed: Nitro

First off I have completed 100% of both the NDS and Wii versions of this game. I still play them a lot, and I want more! Need for Speed Nitro has got to be the freshest, most original car racing game I've ever played on the Nintendo DS. GET THIS GAME AND GET IT NEW! Here is why:

GRAPHICS & PRESENTATION
The menus and screens are finely designed and easy to navigate the music can be changed while going through it all which makes things a bit more pleasant. There are 30 cars, fortunately they're all pretty awesome. Plenty different missions, all fun, good times there. The style of the cars and the graphics they're rendered in are nothing short of spectacular! The design of the cars is a very attractive, fresh and original one that goes perfectly with the fun world you'll race in. The levels are designed well, and while racing everything just looks amazing, especially for a NDS game! Car customization is okay but nothing special, good thing the cars already look awesome!! Also the screen shots for the NDS version of this game do no justice, it looks WAY better playing it first hand.

SOUND
The music tracks in the game are played with great quality! Some songs aren't too hot while others are pretty cool the tracks can also be changed while racing and having that option great. Racing and engine sounds are nice, even more so when using the nitro. Like many other elements the sounds also work great with everything else.(I sometimes turned the music off, played by the PC and blasted my own tunes which I thought was a neat idea, but the music here is still good!)

GAMEPLAY
For racing this really makes or breaks the game, fortunately it REALLY MAKES it! The controls and gameplay are very smooth, easy to pick up and very natural! Racing like a pro is accessible, in a good way and winning the harder races will require a good amount of logic and focus, and while some races might be easy the gameplay really keeps the fun alive! EA has done well tweaking the overall gameplay to perfection and I enjoyed the NFS Nitro games more than any other Need For Speed game.

CONCLUSION
For the price, wow, yes, get it! I got it new to support this awesomeness but that's just me. I am quite anxious for a sequel, it will rock. Now if you're looking for a Gran Turismo experience then.. no, but if you want a really cool, unique fresh take on racing what are you waiting for? DO IT!Get more detail about Need for Speed: Nitro.
