I love racing games, and this is by far the best one I've ever played. I love the handling of the cars, the story line is great, it's challenging but not too tough, and even the music is good! (Usually the music is one of my least favorite parts of the games). I would recommend this to anyone who likes racing games.

The graphics of this game are worse than NFS Most Wanted or Nitro. It only allows one person to have a profile. Everyone in the house would have to use the same profile. It uses a comic strip for the story line. You can only customize vehicles used for multi-player not for the single player game. Also, you can only use the remote/nunchuck or classic controller. Not any of the steering wheels, not even the Logitech one from NFS Undercover.

I did something I never have done. I pre-ordered this game. I was so excited based on the online advertising videos, which I THOUGHT represented the game I was purchasing. When I received it for the Wii I loaded it and was finished in 4 hours! Not ONCE did I see any of the cut sceens, I never flipped my car onto the rail road tracks, and never once had to kick open the window of the car or jump across roof tops. I am VERY dissapointed and this is the first time I want my money back. DO NOT BUY unless you have NO expectations.

This game was the saddest excuse for a game. Ever. Its worse than Hot Pursuit, and Hot Pursuit was terrible. At least Hot Pursuit had the Hundred v. One mode. No customization, little challenge, poor handling, and lies everywhere. Did you know, that eery game review magazine or site has it listed as a completely different game? The story was terrible. I own every NFS game in the library, even the PS1 games, and this is the worst. Save your money, ask for a PS3, and get that one. It's cheaper, better, has more cars than the others, and if you're lucky, you can find a limited edition version from gamestop, origin, or Best Buy i believe it is which gives you even more cars and tracks. I cannot urge how much you shouldn't buy this game for the wii.

I am so excited about need for speed the run for wii. It's the November 14th. 2011 and it is just 3 hours and 19 minutes untill midnight arrives. I don't think I am going to go to sleep tonight because of NFS the run has me pumped up but I hope it's good because NFS hot pursuit for wii last time was a complete failure. It should be a good game because NFS is using the new engine frostbite 2 which hopefully is better than the last engine they used.
