EA has put out some fast, fresh and slightly furious new screens for Need for Speed: Nitro, the more casual of the Need for Speed titles set for release this year.
The game is set for the Wii and DS. The pitch looks like this: "Gamers must battle through the mayhem of relentless cops, master the art of drifting to gain boost at 150 mph, and prove themselves across five mega cities at a gripping 60 frames per second.
"Starting in Rio, Brazil, gamers will move their way up the ranks to dominate every race from street to street, city to city. Players will be battling it out until the finish line as they prove their racing skills across the world. During the heat of competition, they must master techniques such as drafting off rivals to gain speed and drifting sharp corners to gain nitro boost. Players will also have to manage their heat level as cops add to the mayhem on the road with their increased intensity and aggression."
