VERY fun game. Controls are a little more on the simulator side so you need to concentrate a lot. After you get about 66% of the game done the difficulty ramps up making a very large wall to climb over. Great use of wii hardware for graphics. Music(EA TRAX) is limited and not well known.

The best need for spped game out yet! I personally like the cop chases. I always ram into the cars and do other things that completely destroy the cops. In the beginning of the game some stupid (but kinda hot) girl tells you to never attempt what you do in the game...............but the heck with that!

This game is a pretty good racing game althougth the default controls are terrible but once you get used to it, it is a solid need for speed game. The graphics are good for the wii as well.

I love steering with the joystick, using the wiimote as a throttle. This game is fun and addictive

Needs work done on it, it was good but, too many flaws for me anyway like the soundtrack not being able to listen to like in the previous titles.

Ooooh......Need for Speed® when will you ever give up. Plain out and simple: The controls are too hard to master or get used to. I'm done cause this one just wasted my time AND money.

need for speed carobn for the wii is one of the best racing games ive seen period.

many people this this game sucks because they dont know how to hold the remote.

THE BUTTONS SHOULD BE FACING YOU, NOT THE CEILING!!!

this game has all the same features as its other console counterparts:

nitrous, crewmembers, territories, speedbreakers, and car customization.

seriously, you can do everything to your car in this game!

you chose how big the tires and the wheels are, and how far in or out the center of the wheel is. you also choose the pattern that goes into the metal part of the wheel.

you can choose from many spoilers, decals, bumpers, and you can even customize your handeling and nitrous performance!

this is one of the best racing games period. but its especialy good for the wii. if you know how to play it...

Graphics looks good, but the controls are very pathetic. I cant go for 200feet without crashing in the rail, not easy to play, regret buying it at the moment

Good graphics, but really really hard to control with the WiiMote. Because you're driving so fast, the delay from the remote to the console means you crash...a lot. Going to take some getting used to

Ok, so I played this game on PS2 first then on the Wii. Yeah, basically if your a fan of this series, don't bother with this game. SUCH a slow begining that I gave up within the first 30 minutes due to boredom.

Yeah this games sucked ass. Sure the grafix were good and the cars are decent, but the races and gameplay sucked and the game was way too short. The game didn't come close Most Wanted.

Decent game, but fairly repetitive after you played all the others and has gnarly (meaning, dreadful) control methods.

Umm, its pretty much the same as the other Need for Speeds, however after playing Excite Truck this game was pretty boring racing wise. If you like Need for Speed you will like this one.

Better than Excite Truck, but only because of the numerous options. Career mode is decent. Overall, it's a good game, but wears thin after the first few hours.

Xbox port so graphics kinda suck. I never really got used to the controls but they were reasonably well implemented and there were several control styles to choose what suits you best.
Just not really my kind of game but its apparently the best NFS game to date, better than the underground series. I'll be playing it a bit more, try and give it the time.

Will be looked back on as a ****ty Wii game since it was developed before the Wii was released and not knowing how much of a raging success it would become.

Great racing game. Loads fast, drives fast, cool visuals for the game and the cars. The wiimote is very responsive and the physics are quite realistic.
