    While nothing has been done to improve on last year's graphics, a full dirt track series and fleshed out career mode are welcome editions in NASCAR Heat 3.

    Some aspects of NASCAR Heat 3 are well done. The challenge mode is absorbing and addictive, thanks to its quick-burst nature and the interesting context of the scenarios. The career mode, too, has been improved somewhat from last year's offering, although it's nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, these elements don't make up for the rest of it.

    From its sub-par gameplay mechanics to the lazy presentation, the whole package seems best-fit for the bargain bin. If you want a more authentic racing experience, I’d highly recommend playing the NASCAR races in Forza Motorsport 7. They’re just one of many racing disciplines represented in that game, yet it offers a far more impressive experience than that of Heat 3. Otherwise, I can only suggest picking this up on a deep sale, if at all.

    One of the best nascar heat games. NASCAR heat 3 has 4 different series you can face in with lots of different drivers.

    The FFB is finally "real". I hope that it will be better, but it's better than nothing... Thx for that, but why I don't see any settings aboutThe FFB is finally "real". I hope that it will be better, but it's better than nothing... Thx for that, but why I don't see any settings about that? The physics sould be better, maybe next year. The AI is good and fun. The graphics is average.

    Nascar Heat 3 is a good game. Not better than F1 2018, but enjoyable. Maybe this is just the beginnings.

    The game is running well. It's fast and responsive.

    But some things what I see I don't understand. Some example: the driving line is on in practice. Why? I don't need it! And in practice again: I don't see the others list of times just in the qualification.

    I wait long time ago for the AI of iRacing, but I think it's is a good options for the another enjoyable game. I hope in the next few years it will improwement so many way, and I promise that I will buy all of them.

    Just please not forget the phisycs and FFB!    … Full Review »

They put a wall in the career mode from the start by making it an obligation to run in Dirt racing. The controls with a gamepad are simply horrible on Dirt tracks and the same then last year on paved ovals. Dirt racing isn't sanction by Nascar and has no business being into a career mode. I give it a 40%. Some things have improved but they went sideways with dirt racing instead of really improving the racing, controls and graphics.… Full Review »
