5.0 out of 5 stars NASCAR At Its Best!, April 11, 2002

This review is from: Nascar Heat (Video Game)

Nascar Heat 2002 is the most complex racing game on Game Boy Advance. The game contains 12 race tracks including Daytona 500, Pepsi 400, Phoenix International Raceway, etc. with exceptional graphics, beautiful course details, and realistic life-like features such as day, night, rain, snow, etc. You can choose the weather and other features in Option mode, along with sound effects, number of laps, and music volume. Here are some of the other modes you can choose from:

Arcade: This is a full season mode for beginners that can build their racing skills to the maximum. Plus you can focus on certain courses that give you trouble as well as mastering turns and other obstacles.

Time Trial: This is where you are alone on the track to race for the best time possible with any of the 24 different drivers in this game. Drivers include Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett, and other top Winston Cup racers.

Career: This mode is where you can race on all 12 tracks and earn Winston Cup points based on your performance. Lots of points will earn you a top spot on the leaderboard but several poor performances will lead to you get booted of the circuit.

Beat the Heat: This mode offers 16 race challenges that are designed by top NASCAR drivers. Challenges include completing a race in a certain amount of time, pasting a certain amount of drivers in a lap, and making sharp turns without getting a scratch on your car.

Single Race: This mode is perfect if you don't have the time to race the whole circuit. Pick any of the 12 courses with as many laps as you desire.

Multiplayer: This games multiplayer mode is one of the best for any game. Race with as many as 4 people using only one game pack to play Single Race, or with multiple packs you can compete against your friends in either Career Mode or Beat the Heat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!!!, November 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Nascar Heat (Video Game)

This game in no way compares to the PC versions. It stinks!!! The game is disorienting to play. The cars are difficult to control. The view is only from above and the graphics are very bad. My son says it is the worst game he has ever played. He says he would rather play his little sister's Elmo's World Game than this. This comment comming from a diehard Nascar Heat for our PC enthusiast.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decided to sell it after about 2 races, June 6, 2002

This review is from: Nascar Heat (Video Game)

I just didn't like the game. I bought it on impulse, without realizing that the perspective wasn't 3D (I was expecting the "drivers perspective" view). And I didn't even enjoy playing it from the isometric/"above" view (which I loved the old Nintendo RC Pro/Am racing, by the way).

This might be the game for some people, but not for me. Check out the screen shots before purchasing!
