nail'd review

http://www.gamingbits.com/game-review-bits/nail’d-review/ -15499

Four gameplay modes are featured in nail'd: Simple Race (first to the finish), Time Challenge (race through timed checkpoints), Stunt Challenge (achieve boost feats to earn points), Boost Madness (unlimited turbo for some super speedy racing) and Free Race (multiplayer timed challenges, set by players). A main single player campaign Tournament is also included, which will take many hours to complete on its own. Playing through the Tournament mode unlocks additional vehicle parts, paint jobs and rider clothing. It also gives the player bragging rights online. The player's performance is tracked for a leaderboard rating. Leaderboards are also broken down by region, track and race type as well.
There are fourteen different tracks included in nail'd. Included in the retail package of nail'd is a code for 4 additional bonus tracks (a little incentive to buy the game new rather than rent or buy used). Racing tracks in nail'd are varied and are hands down the most exciting and twisting tracks I've raced on. There are many alternate paths. Oh, and there is plenty of air. Jump from ramps and glide over hot air balloons, trains, boats and wind turbines. Just watch those blades. True to its title, nail'd delivers on its name. Anticipate collisions. Hard ones. The crashes are not spectacular (I didn't know if some crashes resulted in my entrails flying or random machinery spewing out), nor are the character models super. The only time I really had to look at my racer in detail was on the customize screen. But, hey, this is about the furious racing, right? Adding to the adrenaline rush of racing the tracks is some cranking heavy metal music by Slipknot, Queens of the Stone Age, Rise Against, and more. There are also exclusive performances of Decimator by Wayne Static of Static-X and Raymond Herrera of Fear Factory and Arkaea. A strong soundtrack accompaniment to the intense trigger clutching races. Yes, I induced trigger-finger swelling. http://naildbiter.com/OVhlC
