    Yo! I know you like cake so I made a car out of cake so you can eat while you drive.

    Is that how that one works? It's either that or I try to come up with some elaborate Hitler subtitle thing about how making cars look good on a ds is difficult and the woman crying can be upset that Yossarian was so rude about her fiancee's work... #needforspeednitro

    @ThursdayNext: @D-K, a burning sensation: Hey now! Come on you bunch of bleeding hearts...

    Every time this game got previewed on here it was lampooned as the most ridiculous example of how you royally screw up developing stuff for the Wii and DS.

    The game is an atrocity.

    I'm sure it isn't this particular artist's fault, I'm sure he just did what he was told, but really, this cake LOOKS like it is a car from the game.

    I submit an example for comparison.

    If you guys keep this up, Kotick is going to have his casual division bake cakes every time they release their next installment of Lumberjack mini-games so that you guys won't blast the games.

    @Yossarian: Oh...that screenshot is...interesting. For a second I thought the car was supposed to be in the air. I then realized it was just horribly done and it's simply on the ground :)
    Or is it supposed to be in the air? A game like NFS Nitro shouldn't make me think this hard!

    Ah yes, Rio, where the streets are closed off by giant floating arrows showing you which way to drive, and all the cars have less than 2 inches of headroom...

    @Taggart6 once shot a man just to watch him die.: Carnaval is not an Adult Party. It's not Mardi Grass. It's an Folklore festival, it's actually meant for all ages and during the Parades several of the "Houses" (called "Escolas de Samba") have entire sections made with Children, Elderly people and even Physically and mentally challenged people.

    Naked chicks and boobies? Sure, there are those. Plenty even. But there is a ton more if you're willing to go past the surface. #needforspeednitro

    @Ricj: I doubt any current gen racing game aimed at young adults and males ages 16 to 30 would include sections featuring the elderly and children over sections with topless dancing women.

    Well unless that game was a sequel to Carmageddon and you had to run the elderly and children over but you get my drift. #needforspeednitro

    The logic (or the lack there of) of licensing all these cars only to make them look like sh*t baffles me.

    @Pessimippopotamus: Y'now, there are 'graphics aren't everything' arguments to be made, but you've got a point. This game's at least partly targeted towards car nuts, who will appreciate an accurate rendering of their particular favourites.

    The cartoony look helps with people, but not so much with cars. #needforspeednitro

    @twinturbo2: What kind of crack are you smoking? I was being sarcastic about my statement. Obviously I wasn't playing the game in my head. I wasn't bashing the game at all. I was bashing the people who bash the game before they play it. Reading comprehension FAIL.

    I also mentioned below that NSMB is a force to be reckoned with. So, I'm really excited for NSMB and I'm bashing games with unrealistic graphics?

    "This soundtrack musically exemplifies the intensity, attitude and adrenaline of Need for Speed NITRO," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "This energetic collection of rock, electronic and hip hop, matches the incredible speed and intensity of a game experience players will never forget."

    That would imply that there was some digestion/work involved here.

    @D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: @Yossarian: I'm not going to disagree that the series went downhill after 3. Most Wanted and Underground 1 were fun, and honestly they were all that I played of NFS since 3 and until Shift. Shift is pretty good, I just wish they'd stop excreting new games and beef up the ones they've just put out (aside from absurd amounts of overcosted DLC and full-game unlocks). #needforspeednitro
