Nitro Nation Online (alternatively referred to as Nitro Nation Racing or abbreviated to NN) is a Template:Vgy racing game, developed by Creative Mobile for Android, Nvidia Shield, iOS, Windows Phone and Samsung devices. The game was first announced on September 17, 2013 as Beta preview.[1] On April 3, 2014 the Beta was completed and a full release of Nitro Nation Online was launched on Google Play.

The game features 138 officially licensed cars (60 street class and 78 race class) from twenty seven manufacturers including BMW, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Subaru and Volkswagen.

The game economy is based on the freemium model with two currencies in game, credits called 'Cash' and a premium currency called 'Gold'. Both Cash and Gold can be purchased using real money from the in-app store. Cash is the common game currency, it is used for event fees, purchases and car maintenance. Cash can be earned as a reward for competing in races, won in prize crates or by in-app purchase. Gold is the currency used for premium options like car customization, purchasing upgraded car packages, extra activation of Crew members and purchasing blueprints from the market. Gold can be earned by selling unwanted blueprints on the Market and or by in-app purchase.

Reception

Aggregate review website GameRankings assigned a score of 75/100 based on reviews from 2 critics.[2]

Media reception to Nitro Nation Online has been generally positive, Pocket Gamer giving it a rating of 7/10, remarking that "It's almost dangerously simple to pick up and play, and that desire to shave seconds off your time becomes habit-forming in a few plays."[3]

PocketMeta offered mixed criticism with a combined total score of 22/25, praising "Nitro Nation Online is a beautiful drag racing game with a vibrant online community that will make you jealous of the luxurious cars of the best of the crop on the leader boards. Very rich gallery of customization options and achievements create addictive and rewarding game play while competing against other players allows you to feel a sense of belonging to the drag racing community." and deriding "...loading times and the difficulty of upgrading without resorting to in-app purchases. Other than that, it’s a must-have item on your Android tablet."[4]

This sentiment is backed up by GameZone which giving an 8.5/10 rating, states "Fast and addictive gameplay makes for a fun gameplay experience, while the fast customization options add a layer of addiction to the game. Racing with other players and climbing the leader boards is by far the game’s best aspect for me." Losing some ratings due to "Having to lose a few races every time just to gain some money to upgrade and progress further makes the game feel like a grind and this is compounded with loading times that exceed gameplay time. That being said, the game is still the most addictive and fun racing game I have played on my mobile gaming device and is sure to give players countless hours of fun."[5]
