  1. Need for Speed: Nitro isn't the best racer on the DS. It's not even the best goofy racer on the DS, an honor that will probably always belong to the console's iteration of Mario Kart. It is, however, a lot of fun to play.
  2. Need for Speed Nitro has a lot of solid content, good production values and a large quantity of customization for a DS game.

    It's a good game. It has some flaws (for example the graphics, but it's okay for the Nintendo DS), but it's really enjoyable.
