Cruis'n is a racing game for the Wii console developed by Just Games Interactive and published by Midway Games. The game was released on November 27, 2007 in North America. The game was later released in Australasia on February 14, 2008 and in Europe on March 27, 2008. It is the fifth game of the eponymous series. It is a port of The Fast and the Furious video game, without the license for the film.
It has similar gameplay to past titles in the Cruis'n series; players race down one-way courses consisting of streets (based on real-life locations) while avoiding various road hazards such as oncoming traffic and constructions. Players can gain a limited temporary boost in speed by using nitrous oxide, otherwise known as N2O or simply Nitrous.
Cruis'n, like its arcade counterparts, allows players to customize and upgrade their cars' features, such as spoilers, decals, neon lights, ground effects, and engines, which they must purchase with money earned from races.
Cruis'n contains twelve courses which can be raced on four different difficulty levels.
In 2006, Midway was planning to bring The Fast and the Furious to home consoles, but lost the license during the game's production. Midway subsequently changed its name to Cruis'n and hired game developers Just Games Interactive and Raw Thrills, who developed the original The Fast and the Furious. The game was announced in early 2007.
