Good Fun, Great Looking, November 22, 2006
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NASCAR 2007 (Video Game)
I've had this game for about a month now, and it is a lot of fun for those that want a more realistic oval racing experience. It's not for everyone though. If you are looking for crazy wrecks and more intense action, I recommend Burnout Legends over this game.
Strengths:
You can jump right in and play without having to worry about elaborate car setups or qualifying. There are many tracks to choose from and you don't have to "go through the ranks" to race with the big boys. You can choose among all the Nextel Cup drivers or create your own car with personalized paint schemes. You can save at any time during the race and you can select a short, medium or long race. This saves you much aggrivation if you wreck, you can just quit and go back to the last time you saved.
The graphics and sound are excellent. With a good set of headphones you will definitley be immersed in the game and the the wide screen really makes the game come alive. The AI is quite good, and driving like a maniac will get you on the bad side of other drivers real quick. They will remember and retaliate later in the race, by blocking your pass or spinning you out from behind. You can make alliances too and those drivers will help you draft and work with you during the race
Weaknesses:
The steering is touchy and unforgiving even when you get used to it. Even a little bumping and banging can spin you out and put you at the back of the pack fast. It makes it much more realistic, but you won't have that wild action that you get from Burnout. In the Race Now mode you always start somewhere in the middle of the pack. This can get frustrating, especially in the truck series, where it is very hard to work your way to the front.
Overall very solid game worth buying, the season mode is fun and if you are more of a gear head you can set up the car the way you like it adjusting springs, tire pressure, etc...a good game and nice change of pace from some of the crash & burn type racing games out there.

Beautiful graphics and control. The game is better playing in Ad hoc with friends. Only con is that no infrastucture mode is available.

For max enjoyment of NASCAR, start with the modifieds to learn the steering, then progress to the cup cars. Pretty cool game, all in all, I bought this game while in hospital and the first coupla days my nurses bitched at me for playing at 2 am, guess they felt i should have been sleeping
