The Need for Speed games have gone in many different directions over the years, and perhaps the most eccentric, but uniquely fun title is none other than Need for Speed: Nitro!
In the spirit of NFS Nitro's unique style, what's a non-traditional entry in a game series that you enjoy? It doesn't have to be a racing game by the way!
That's what I'm saying, it would've blended so well with the animated tire smoke and nitro flame. Plus in an urban environment, the graffiti artwork would feel right at home for Unbound.
This is probably one of the most underrated NFS titles ever made and I loved playing it on the Wii. I honestly never had an issue with how it looked and with the artwork and music, it blended so perfectly well to stand out from any other arcade racer at the time. Now with NFS Unbound still fresh and new, EA should definitely take some elements from nitro like the artwork all over the walls with whoever is holding the lead.
Wow I didn’t know this Need For Speed game existed!! It looks like so much fun, and you’re right the cars totally look like Hot Wheels, I’ll have to buy a copy and try it asap, and to answer the question of the non traditional game in a series that I enjoy, it’s not racing, but, I love Sonic The Fighters (Sonic The Hedgehog’s fighting game) :D
Glad I got to introduce you to a new game, hope you enjoy playing it! I know of Sonic The Fighters, really should try it out on my copy of Sonic Gems Collection sometime.
"We have Unbound at home." Unbound at home: I know the artstyle isn't for everyone but NFS fandom back then would hate on anything that isn't Most Wanted. Some even now. 360/PS3 is an era of edgyness and Wii's mere presence is the very bane of those so-called hardcore gamers' existence. I played this on emulator with keyboard and it was already a breath of fresh air, but when I got a Wii and played it with Wiimote it somehow becomes extremely addictive! And this is supposed to be a party game in which the Career is just copy-pasted races! Also I usually hate Teslas for what they represent but tell me in the eyes that Tesla shooting out LIGHTNING as nitro is not cool. Oh BTW, soundtrack is ASTRONOMICALLY better than whatever shit is in Unbound.
