It had me a more tense than most racing games I've playing in a while. Overall Impressions: It's a solid racing game, with a better career mode than most (it has one). Let me create a driver with a portrait and do interviews and stuff in between races, these kinds of things add to the experience and allow you to make up your own story, having driver rivalries and stuff like that would also be cool.

I'm playing on Hard difficulty and I finished 4th in Daytona simply by making my pit stop times add up correctly and being one of the guys who doesn't pit on lap 195, this could have been because I messed with the gas thing a bit. I think that being a rookie driver in NASCAR should be more difficult, I've seen how much trouble Danica Patrick has had making the transition on sportscenter. (wouldn't be the first time a publisher pushed a game out before it was ready.) There have been one or two freezes that were kind of bad. Cons: It seems as if the game is unfinished almost like the Developers didn't get a chance to add everything they wanted. I was in some pretty rough crashes and was able to continue, perhaps if big crashes like this happen you should be out of the race if that's your thing.

I played my Daytona at 200 laps and almost every caution was my fault. I see a lot of reviews on here about how the AI crashes too much. Critiques: I'm putting these here because they may not be cons for everyone.

A career mode is always a good thing and even though it's not fully fleshed out (as far as I can tell I just finished Daytona). PROs: Having never played a NASCAR game that was actually based on real NASCAR I've got to say that playing with a controller and less control in that big mob of cars trying not to crash at 170 mph is quite frankly one of the coolest experiences I've ever had in a racing game and truly had me on the edge of my seat. But I do LOVE racing games, I'm pretty damn good at them too. Let me start this off by saying that I am not a NASCAR fan, I get all I know from the sport off of sportcenter when trying to watch something Let me start this off by saying that I am not a NASCAR fan, I get all I know from the sport off of sportcenter when trying to watch something I actually care about.
