    Great racing on DS. Awsome graphics and game physics. Needs more tracks and gameplay options, but a SOLID game.

    Great graphics for a DS title, sound is solid with some great background tracks (cars just sound like cars tho). Lots of cars, lots of mods, great sense of speed. Only lacking in modes (although the the Underground mode is enough of a challenge), minimal touch screen support and there is no replay function.. other than that, the best racer on the DS right now.

    The game is insanelly difficult. It will make you wish that you never played a previous game before it. Although it is a tough cookie it has everything else to offer all people, especially good graphics and cars.

    Average graphics, i've seen other games that push more the DS than this. Very challenging, can get frustrating, given the dificulty of it. Lots of customizations. Liked the game, still enjoy more on the PS2 version.

    I wish i had never bought it well.. atleast i only wasted 2£ , the GBA version wipes the floor over this even as far as graphics are concerned , the gameplay in DS version is to somewhat pointless and holds no real system to follow , i raced eah f the classes then told the rest are locked ? so it went in the charity shop for me , piss poor game dont bother with it

    Very very very very very bad port of NFS. I played this but only once. I will give 3 out of 10 or even 1 out of 10. Its have **** handling controls of cars I've ever seen in racing games.

    The variety of racing options, the wireless multiplayer, and the art customizing features are a good start; it's certainly a satisfying racing experience, but there are gaps in its production. As fun as it is, it just feels like there should be more to the package.

    The mixture of shame and frustration it instills will make you raise your eyebrows, turn on your heels, and snicker as you walk away. [July 2005, p.99]

    Even though the DS does not have an analog control, the game is really responsive.
