5.0 out of 5 stars World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2002, March 23, 2002

I had a chance to see and play the game [in] August (2001) and was very impressed with the quality of screens and action. Those who may own the PC version will see many advances in the game on PS2 and will want to have the PS2 version. Drop the [money] on a PS2 system and spend all your waking hours racing.

They improved on making the tracks more realistic (including billboards, landmarks etc.) and the handling of the cars to change as the dirt tracks change, making you the driver constantly searching for the fastest line around the race track. Sound was excellent, graphics were clean and not jerky. I was impressed with the addition of the tear-off option just like if you were actually racing. Mud clouds the vision as you follow other racers and by hitting the tear-off button you have a clear screen again.

I'm sure the delays in the release have to due with the many changes in sponsorship and additional features one can add with the PS2 system.

I don't think you will find a better racing game for the price. If you're a fan of sprint cars or dirt racing you will have a great time with this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Physics, April 28, 2002

This review is from: World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2002 (Video Game)

I remember when the first Gran Turismo came out. The feel and control was like nothing I had experienced on a console racer before. And by the way I only buy racing games. No football, no boxing, no shoot-um-ups, no RPG's for me. None of these offers the adreneline rush of an awesome racing game. World of Outlaws Sprint Cars 2002 is one of those games. One of those games that push the envelope called realism to the extreme. When I first nailed it coming out of a corner and felt the front end actually lift, I was stunned. The physics and control of this game is the very best yet. And I've raced a ton of games on PS1 and PS2. Nothing touches this. Not even close. Thought GT3 was the ultimate? Wrong my friend. The AI in GT3 are absolute idiots compared to the AI in WoO. They are relentless. Venture into Outlaw mode and you will find the truth there. And this game has far and away the best Arcade mode yet in a racer. Hands down. And the graphics are gorgeous. Awesome track lighting and the most lovely skies yet seen. The progression from evening practice to the night's A Main is rendered like never before. And to top it off, this game is only [amount]. If you are a true racer like myself, go buy this ASAP. I bet them guys over at Polyphony Digital are playing this game as we speak, in awe of Ratbag's dirt track masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Show on Dirt, well on a PS2 anyway, June 5, 2002

Ok, my recommendation is both if you love racing games and if you love Dirt Track pick this up. Its made by RatBag games who have put out many Dirt Track titles on the computer that are known as simply the best. This installment for the PS2 is the World of Outlaw Sprint series. This racing is some of the most exciting ever on dirt and this game picks up all of it. It has ultra realistic features in that you can tune your car, effects that the wing has on acceleration and steering, pitch, ride height, wheel stagger, etc etc. Also, if you don't know the specifics its ok, on easy mode anyone can pick up the tricks easily. Also you have the ability to play as some of the OUtlaw greats and unlock more tracks as you go on. This is a definite MUST BUY for any racing fan.
