Nascar Racing 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Incredible.Just got my copy today.I'm blown away.This is not some race-around-and-smash-other cars game like the EA Nascar games, this is pure simulation.The physics model is incredible.The graphics are top notch... includes D3D *and* OpenGL.Attention to detail in the physics department is why I liked the demo, and what prompted me to pick up the boxed retail.If you fall behind a bit, or can't figure out the optimum path through a corner, you've got a lot of catching up to do.If you don't care about tweaking tire pressure, camber, weight distribution, I really wouldn't bother.Go pick up a fun arcade game like Colin McRae 2.If you dig the *whole* experience, give Papyrus its due and pick this one up.

World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gameplay is very good. You have a choice of time trial, single race or career. However some cars and tracks are locked out at the beginning. This is a big pet peave of mine. I paid for the game (using the Motorsportgaming funds ofcourse) and I want access to all that I paid for. Some people might have time to run a full career and unlock the treats but I like to jump in, experiment for a bit and get out.
There are three levels of difficulty easy, medium and OUTLAW. On the first attempt Outlaw is next to impossible. These cars are monsters. They will pull wheelies down the front straight and your back end will be in front of you before you know it, if you are not careful. Take my advice on this, start at easy and work your way up. The physics seem to be very well done, the cars are quite slippery and coupled with the force feedback it makes it very easy to get a feel for what the car is doing. Ai seems to be pretty good on intitial contact, they provide a little bit of bumping in the corners but generally seem to drive fairly intelligently.
Graphics are very good. I am running at a resolution of 1600x1200 full detail and get extremely fluid framerates. There does seem to be a small glitch though, every once in a while the graphics will skip, I have tried to remedy this by turning of the partical detail and am having favorable results. Will probably upgrade my video driver and see what happens.
The cars are well modelled and the track looks great. My only complaint would be that it looks slightly cartoony. Small gripe though it is still just a game. The sound quality is very good as well. The engines rumble appropriately, there seems to be a good spacial presence. No complaints here.

NASCAR Racing 2003 Season Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Can't decide between EA's NASCAR Thunder and Papy's NASCAR Racing? Well Thunder is an arcade game, and Racing is a simulation. First time buyers or people new to racing sims would do well to pickup one additional item Papy's NASCAR Racing 3. It takes real computer driving skills to play this game, and N3 helps you learn that. (Note: N4 and NR2002 do not have a brake assist option, that's why I suggest N3 for rookies) Then when you're ready to take full control, load this one up. The only thing that this Simulator is missing from the real deal is the seat of your pants feeling that the car is getting loose, or is tight. Ride in a real stock car just once, and you'll gain a prospective that can't be built into any computer simulation. This game features two unique options, Adaptive AI and Auto AI strength. No one can drive all 36 tracks at the same 100% AI strength and have a realistic race. This game will tailor each track to your ability and then improve the AI ability as yours improves for each track. (Second note 100% AI strength has the cars going faster then real life top speeds anyway, 96% is closer to current real competition levels at most tracks). Plus the ability to create your own team, paint your own car, and add additional special paint schemes is priceless. The Online community has lots of add-ons for this game. And the developers even put out a free fantasy track add-on. I also strongly suggest a racing wheel for this game. I got away with a joystick with N3, but you will be challenged to produce realistic lap times with a joystick. And you'll need the gas and steering pedals to keep yourself out of the wall. Force feedback is a preference, one I have chosen to disable for myself, but some people like it. Final note, this will be the last Papy NASCAR Racing game released. So I wouldn't look for NASCAR Racing 2004 and beyond.
