2 stars (NOT WORTH PLAYING) - I've been buying EA Sports nascar games ever since 2003 and have been pleased with each year but this one. Every game takes a little getting used to but this one is impossibe. I use a driving wheel and pedals on my playstation 2 for my nascar games and not once I've had to program the gas and brake pedals in to use it. The first time I played this game, when it said go I had no gas and no brakes. I thought my steering wheel was broken but after a while I figured it out. I thought everything was going to be okay but I soon found out that I couldn't even push the gas pedal down an inch without doing a burnout. And the braking was the same way. I couldn't go down into a corner and put on the brakes without locking them up. It is ridiculous. I myself could live without controlling my teamates cars as well as mine but I guess EA Sports has to put something new in the game every year so people will buy it and I appreciate that they are trying to make the game better but it seems like every good thing they try to add they have to take away a good aspect of the game and this year it was the driving part of it. The bottom line is this is a racing simulater game and this year the game doesn't resemble that. I guess we'll just have to wait until next year to see if that game is worth paying good money for.As for the graphics of it, they are good. The tracks look just like they would in person and for the most part, so do the cars. Another bad thing about this game is when you're going 200 miles an hour somewhere, it seems like you are going about 70. The 2003, 2004, and 2005 games were great but not 2006. My take on this game is that they have really messed it up and if you are thinking about buying it, rent it first.
3 stars (It's okay.) - Well, this is a game that I think is not a very good game like Gran Turismo 4 and Need For Speed Underground 2. It is because the game play is kind of bad because as somebody mentions, the steering is not very good. So, it will a tough game to beat. I do agree with them. Second, the visual is kind of rough. Not very good but this is just slightly better. Also, for the sound effect, it is good but some improvement can be made like the team radio. Overall, this game I can say is only "okay". You can try it but you might regret it.
3 stars (EA SPORTS. ITS STILL NOT IN THE GAME) - Whom ever is in charge of the NASCAR series for EA needs to be fired. Who ever this person is has no idea about the sport what so ever. Once again EA wastes really good graphics and inoventions. Please someone tell me the last time they saw a NASCAR race and when the car hit the wall at 200 mph the car was able to keep going and win the race? PLus just bumping someone by accidnet does NOT always result in retaliation resembling a suicide run. Also for some reason ea decided its wants o see how frustrated they can make you by making steering incredibly hard. Since there is no other nascar game EA has the market cornered and certainly does not listen to the fans. Its a decent game that will frustrate you more than please you. |
