WorthPlaying: Need for Speed Nitro Review

WorthPlaying writes: "Electronic Arts has been getting pretty desperate lately with the Need for Speed series. After two generally disliked entries with ProStreet and Undercover, it's difficult to blame them for wanting to reformulate the series. One of the more brilliant decisions made in the process of attempting to revitalize the series was to declare "distinct game on Wii." While Need for Speed: Shift went for a more realistic, "driver in the cockpit" style of racing, Need for Speed: Nitro turns back the clock and uses pieces from a completely different clock to brilliant effect. With just a few interface changes, they could easily have slapped the Burnout sticker on this game. Instead, the result is a sweet hybrid of some of the most enjoyable times from Need For Speed's long history, mixed with the right amount of classic Burnout elements to create something just new enough to prove that EA still knows how to create something fresh, fun and, with recent price cuts, superior to most anything you could get in the $30 range for the Wii." 7.8/10
