anyone getting this,it hasn't had great reviews but its only £20 and you can get it for £15 online.i've read the pal version has a better online mode than the usa version it is easier to find random online races it has a timer now so you don't have to wait for the exact no of players before a race will start.will buy this and medal of honor friday.
I'm toying with the idea myself, but the online reviews have almost put me off to be honest. The comparisons to Excite Truck are numerous, and they all comment that ET is a much better presented game. The only advantage for Nitrobike is online, which is the thing that REALLY draws me in, as I havent yet got any online games.
Sue (Bidedden_sue) has preordered it, so I'm hoping that she will give us a review.
I have pre-ordered it from Amazon (£16.99). Looks great! Can't wait to play it!
Games owned (that I play): EA Playground, Endless Ocean, Excite Truck, Ghost Squad, Gottlieb Pinball, HotD, Kororinpa, Link’s Crossbow Training, Mario Kart, Mario Party 8, MySims, Pinbusters, RE:UC, Super Paper Mario, SSB Brawl, Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Sports
I gave in, I've ordered it from Gameplay for £17.98 including first class post. Now I guess I had swot up on wii codes etc for friends, perhaps we should turn this thread into a code swapping one too? Save on forum space etc.
The lure of my first proper online game got too much for me, it's funny that I just don't think of Mario Kart on DS 'feels' like I'm playing online.
I didn't even know it was online till you said, and I pre-ordered a week or so ago!
I'll post my code here when the game comes!

Sorry I hadn't played it when I posted the code, I have now though.
Overall I'm pleased with it, but it isn't going to set the world alight. The graphics would be more suited on PS2, the sound is frankly awful, control responsiveness could be much improved, yet I'm enjoying it! The career mode has a fair amount of variety, and is challenging but not so hard you get annoyed with, a good balance.
I'd advise people to buy it if racing games are their thing, but I wouldn't contemplate it at over £20.
Online is currently untested.
I'll give a fuller review when I've had longer on it, but I do like it.
