A Need for Speed goin in the Wrong direction

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This game is not the need for speed I remember, There is no free roam level, you have to race on the same boring tracks, and there are no cops or anything that makes it interesting as it used to be. The cars dont even get damaged. I was racong a Ford GT on the Autobahn and flipped it and all that happened was smoke rising from the engine and a couple scraps, not cool. The controls for this game were a bit annoying because muscle cars did not seem to respond to turning. Also, the DJ narrating the whole game gets a bit annoying. The only part of this game I liked remotely was the soundtrack. I suggest waiting for a sequel instead of waisting 50 bucks on it.

At first when you start to play you think it's going to like you drive a real car. But instead the movements are ever so slight with the wii remote.But the fact that you can make your own car is really nice. Whats also really nice is when you make your car you do a test to see the specs. This makes up for the movements. What great about it is it's graphics is it has a nice polish to it even though it's not Call of Duty graphics.

ok i bought this game thinking that the damage to the car was the coolest thing ever. so i start it up, and after a while i realize there is no damage being done to my car. Sure there is engine damage, but no visual damage. They say the bumpers drop, mirrors break, doors dint, but it doesnt in the Wii's game. They excluded this feature from the Wii. But other than this, its an ok game.

This is the best Need for speed yet, it has more racing events, better cars you can race with,great graphics, and better customization. I would have to say it is the best racing game i have ever played and playing it on wii even makes it better!

If you like all the previous Need for Speed titles and you are into the whole Import Tuner scene, then you CAN'T miss this one!
The atmosphere is your typical Hot Import Nights tuner show gone street racing. If you like to tweek your cars and race against some of the best real world tuned vehicles in realistic environments, then you got to try this game. I have played it for only 2 hours and let me tell this, WOW!
Some recommendations however. Get yourself a steering wheel holder, will make a world of difference. Try different sensitivity adjustments on the Wii until it feels better, but there is too much of a lag between steering inputs and what happens on the screen. Could be that is how it is however. No way to tell if it is a loss of traction built into the game physics, but who knows.
Go into with the mind set to have fun and you will.
Recommended for all your arm chair gear heads out there for your game console racing collection.

Stay Away from this title! I bought this video game at the same time I got my Wii with no knowledge of the product or its critical reviews. I was grimlly disappointed when I popped this during a pre-party I was hosting. Nearly everyone in the room (mostly guys who are more than experienced with video games) found themselves bored with it after the first race. Everything seemed slow and really, really unchallenging. Last week when I popped it in to play head to head with my girlfriend, I found myself knodding off around lap 2. Do yourself a favor a buy a different title even if you're desperate for a racing title.

really this game is kind of like the Need for Speed, it's just pick a race and you race. It's not like that need for speed underground 2.
