This game is not the Best NASCAR game on the market any more (NASCAR Thunder 2002 and the soon to be released 2003 are better versoins of this game), but it is better then NASCAR Heat 2002... . If you like NASCAR or racing games and don't want to spead a lot of money - this is a perfect pick up right now to get started on you PS2.

fun game

I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS GAME SO THAT A FRIEND OF MINE, WHO IS REALLY INTO NASCAR, WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO PLAY ON MY PS2 WHEN HE CAME OVER. I WOULD PUT IT IN AND PLAY WITH IT MYSELF EVERY NOW AND THEN. WHEN ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE WAS THINKING OF GETTING A PS2 (TO REPLACE HIS DC) I PULLED THIS GAME OUT AND WE WENT HEAD TO HEAD. WHAT CAN I SAY? I GOT HOOKED. I GOT SO HOOKED THAT I WAS EAGERLY AWAITING NASCAR HEAT 2002 AFTER SEEING THE GRAPHICS. THAT DID NOT STOP ME FROM CONTINUING TO PLAY THIS GAME. BESIDES, THIS IS THE ONLY VERSION THAT I CAN CRASH SOMEONE WHEN I'M FEELING THAT THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO "INTIMIDATE" ME. INTIMIDATE THIS.

Better than Nascar Heat for PS2

This game is HIGHLY underated on this site from people who dont like nascar. I am an average Nascar fan. Most people that have reviewed before have NOT been nascar fans. This game delivers a real bumper to bumper feel. The cars are very realistic and they still have Dale Earnhardt because he passed away after this was made. They have most of the tracks including Daytona. If you like to crash cars than this game would also be very good for you because the physics are awsome and make you spin and fly in the air when you hit hard, and they spinout when you get a medium hit. One of my favorite things to do is just turn around and hit cars headfirst, then peices fly around the track and stay there for about a lap, thats cool. You have to time your pit stops as the same time as the other cars. Graphicaly this game will break down occasionly but it does not take away from the fun at all. The sounds that the cars are very authentic and represent Nascar very well. The cars in this game are very detailed and have all of the logos that the cars in real life have. I feel that the people who made this game were true Nascar fans, and its a shame that the people who have been reviewing it havnt been. So if you like Nasvar AT ALL than this is definatly the game for you. Oh yeah, theres one thing i forgot, the drafting model in this game is the best yet and makes all the difference in the races. (P.S. I have played Nascar Heat 2002 for PS2 and although it is a fine game with a little better graphics, this game is more realistic and fun)

Same of this, less of that!

I found that this is the same game as for the PS1, with a little better graphics than the first. They have also reduced the amount of control you have when setting up the car as well during pit-stops. Over all this game is not worth the disc it is burned on! My opinion, worse that a flat tire going into turn 1 at 200 miles per hour!!

Major Disappointment

I had reasonably high hopes for this one, and read the reviews expecting some studdering/pixelized graphics before buying, but thought the "fast paced" gameplay would make up for it.

I was wrong. I was bored with this game after a couple of hours. The graphics are mediocre at best and the gameplay is SO boring.

You better rent this one first before blowing 50 bucks.

Get in the seat and DRIVE!

EA has worked very hard to make this a true NASCAR game. A lot of "Gamers" don't understand games that you don't score points when you crash and burn. This game allows you to make raceday everyday, and those fans out there know what I mean. Effects are good, but the personality of NASCAR captured by the game is what makes this a game a GREEN FLAG!

horrible

Well it is Clear to me that this was a rush job.The graphics could have been much better.This version lost alot of the good stuff.No sound on the replay.The pit stop and the garage options are lost.I was disapointed.Overall i enjoy the game but it could have been so much better.

If you're a true NASCAR fan, this is for you!

This game is great! I've read reviews on several sites and was surprised at the mixed response. I've read several complaints about the game that can be avoided. One complaint had to do with only having only three car settings...That is only in arcade. Try simulation. Wedge, tire pressure, gear ratios, downforce, etc. can be manipulated here. You can customize your car and save your settings for each track. Graphic are good, driving is realistic. Although, I have probably had the most fun racing my friends in two player mode, one player mode alows you to really study the fine points in the tracks. Boring ovals? I disagree. Try keeping your car down on the huge banks at Bristol, or draft your way to the front at Talladega. How about 195 mph through turn 2 at Daytona? There are enough options to increase or decrease the difficulty for any skill level, and races can be as short as 3% race. as far as the season being too long, there are even options to race a short 4 race season. Some people may disagree, but I think this game has what it takes. I definitly can appreciate the GT style racing games. Upgrading your cars is a lot of fun, but NASCAR is a different type of racing. You have to appreciate NASCAR for what it is. If you do, you'll have fun with this game.
