It's pronounced Reno, but with a french R, wich sounds like a G made of flan or of jelly GGGGeno.

This looks like poopypants. Reminds me of that PC budget game I bought eight years ago that didn't even work.

Eh. Well, it's definitely more exciting than NFS Shift, but there are better racing games out there, especially on the Wii.

Haha, I like that Jeff said Renault wrong as many times as possible just to annoy the people who bitched about it last time.

Apart from the drift recovery (which it looks like you can turn off) this looks pretty cool. Wii looking better in '09...

I think that it looks pretty cool. Not really my kind of racing game, but I bet kids would love it.

It looks like the successor to Carbon in a weird way.  Aside from the almost offensive tutorial voiceover and dated stereotypes, it appears to be the best NFS since Carbon.  I like the weird graffiti thing too, it looks like something that might have been part of Carbon if they made another in that series.
 
I might pick it up after it gets cheap next year.

You think they would sent more cops after you considering your vandalising the entire city with graffiti.

@Cristoflanga: G? Sounds nothing like a G, G. Sounds like an R which is stuck down in your throat.

@Vodun: You're right. It's because I'm a Spanish speaker. Spanish G sounds really close to french R. Your description is much better.

Looks like a pretty fun game if you like arcade-style racing games.
