(More customer reviews)When I first got this game I was very excited. The game looked very promising with the Car of Tommorrow and the addition of the Toyota. When I popped it in my system though the experience was totally different then I expected. This is a very difficult game to play. You oversteer just a little bit and your going to wreck. You hit too many cars you get black flagged. I was getting very frusturated and was about to return it back the day I bought it. I'm happy I decided not to though. After about 3 days of playing it I started to get the hang of the game. The driving system makes you learn how to become a good player and once you start finishing in the top 10 it feels like you acomplished something. This is a racing simulator and shouldn't be confused with the other arcade Nascar games. The graphics in my opinion look very decent between the shadows and how the sun reflects off the car. It's all solid. As for the sound it's about on par with all the older Nascar titles so don't be expecting too much from this department. There is no multiplayer mode unless you go online which kind of sucks. The bright side though is there is a solid list of racers in the game. In the truck series there's about 10 real life drivers such as Johhny Benson and in the Busch/National Series there's about 30 guys and in the Nextel series they have about 45 real life drivers which is more than there previous titles. Some notable drivers are missing though such as Carl Edwards due to some licenseing agreements. Overall this is a good game but it isn't meant for someone who wants to pop in the game and start winning races. It takes time and patients but it pays off in the end. Once I finally got the hang of the game I started having a blast. If I reviewed this game the day it came out it probably would have been a 1 or 2 star game like most of the people are saying but now I believe it deserves a solid 4 stars for achieving a sense of realism such as in the damage department, flags, and the handling of the car itself. If you want a very realistic game of racing I suggest you pick this up otherwise if you want a more arcade racing title stick to the older Nascar titles such as last years Nascar 07.
