I was genuinely looking forward to this game, being a fan of arcade racers.
Car-crash. |

That's unfortunate. Love the idea of the track changing colour/style to match the lead car - that's brilliant!

""There will probably never be a proper good 3rd Party game on the Wii." "
Er, apart from the ones that are, you know, already in existence. Admittedly it's about 1 per 99 pieces of shit, but they're out there |

Since when can the Wii do 1080p, let alone... 2880p?
Are these screenshots from the new secret Wii HD model? |

@Donnie.. Let me rewrite that for you:
"Even the revered Halo 3(although still great) is basically a xbox game in both visuals (doesnt even run in true hidef) and gameplay and imo should have been marked down accordingly. Unless your into the occassional online MP the xbox has no place in todays marketplace and if your into the classic microsoft franchises buy a PC cheap of ebay (you wont be missing much)" |

God he's off again! I'm sorry but you really need to let the whole Halo hate thing go. Its getting old now! |

"HALO3(although im not a fan) is the most popular online game on any console with innovations galore. while mario kart is just double dash allmost exactly with the wiis sad excuse for a online bolted on.you even had to put in codfes to play a friend and thats probably why most dont play online with the WII,plus lag,no acheichments etc etc"
Lag? In Mario Kart? I don't think so sonny jim... Just last night I played it online and got a full 12 player race in seconds. It's still very popular as an online game a good 18 months after release. |

There are currently 68 Wii games rated 80 or more over at industry favourite Metacritic.
56 of those games are third party.

""There will probably never be a good game on the Wii."
Fixed. " Surely no-one with even the most basic knowledge of games, or even acces to, say, a review site like, for example, Eurogamer, could really believe this? I've been gaming for 20+ years now and thought by now gamers would be getting smarter, not the opposite? |

I'm a bit confused by the gallery images. The ingame images shown are a smidgen too basic even for the wii.
I think they had the right idea doing something different for the wii but it just wasn't different enough. They should have found the middle ground between mario kart and the normal need for speed racers. |

"Mario Kart is one of the best online games this gen imo. Halo is very popular and I understand why but it doesn't come close to a 12 player online race in Mario Kart imo."
And both of them are rubbish compared to Fight Night. We are discussing beat-em-ups right? No? Then it's a pointless comparison. The problem with NFS:Nitro is not the Wii, the problem is the publishers attitude to the platform. Not porting NFS:Shift and making a Wii-specific game was the right decision, but getting the development departments canteen staff to design and code the Wii game was not. |

I think you may be a little harsh on this game, because the bottom line is that it's just a lot of fun to play, plus it's great to finally see a Need For Speed on Wii that feels like it was actually developed for Wii. While I'm not sure how much replay value this will have for me long-term, in the short-term it's providing some great, thrill-a-minute fun. It's kind of a shame, because I think with just a little bit more thrown in (more depth, online play), this game would've been spectacular, as is, it makes a nice complement to Mario Kart. Also, props to EA for a great soundtrack, especially for the inclusion of Earl Greyhound's "Oye Vaya" - it's such a good racing tune.
