User Manual - I couldn't find the Wii manual, so the GameCube one will have to do.

Summary

The first Need for Speed game I fell in love with. A wonderful encapsulation of the FMV era, player customization, and the blend of street racing and out running the cops. It's captured the zeitgeist of drifting at the time in a perfect way for a teenage boy.

Acquisition

This was an early Wii pickup for us from GameStop.

Memories

I was very big into hatchbacks and black and yellow paint schemes. I had these bulbous rims that jutted way out and made the wheels look like balls. I spent countless hours drifting through the nighttime streets.
