like this game alot, had been looking for it for awhile. sprint car racing is one of the most fun games you can play. anyone will love it.

I recieved the video game on time but the game was defective. I sent it back at a cost of around 20 dollars. Hubbagames sent me another game, it too was defective. I am not going to spend another 20 dollars to send it back. I am stuck with a defective "Showdown at Eldora". Thankyou, Terry

Always been a huge fan of this genre of game and most reviewers do not give the dirt track the respect it deserves. Unfortunately, Sprintcar2 Showdown at Eldora deserves every bad review it gets. I will not get into too many specifics as to why this game should never have been released but here's what SAE offers.
-The same tracks as Sprintcar Road to Knoxville
-The same models and paint schemes for the Modifieds, Midgets and Sprintcars as RTK
-Three new classes Prostock, Latemodel and Wingless Sprintcar (all with paint schemes that look like they took as long to name as they did to complete.
-A Tractor pull mini game (Don't laugh, it's the best thing you will get for your $19.96!)

Sounds like Big Ant just added to an OK game and no harm right? Wrong! What was smooth, fast racing in RTK is now so jittery with a frame rate flucuating like my waistline during the holidays that it completely unplayable even with everything (including all sound turned off.) Also, don't bother starting a career, I had a driver win every race in a series and still finish 6th and under a different name.
If you are even considering purchasing this game please consider games such as Saturday Night Speedway, World of Outlaw 2002, NASCAR Dirt to Daytona and yes even Sprintcar Road to Knoxville.

I was a big fan of the World of Outlaws PS2 game that came out in 2002 and Road to Knoxville when that came out in 2006. This version really has a lot more to do. They've added late models, pro stock and wingless sprints. The new challenge mode is fun and the tractor pull, while pretty simple, is cool because you can post your pulls to their website. I'd like to see this game on the Xbox 360 someday!!!

I just assumed since Spint Cars: Road to Knoxville worked on PS3 that their new game would also. Not a good assumption. The game is great but I had to give to a friend who had a PS2.

This looks closely related to another Sprint Car game that we already had. We were surprised that this one can only be played on Playstation 2, which we do not have, and not a regular PC like the other one. I have given it 3 stars because I had to put something but I really don't know if it is good or not.
