    Every brilliant little detail of N4 serves to remind you, over and over again, that this is a sim of real class.

    Hmm, let’s see: Incredible graphics, terrific sound, flawless game play and great multiplayer options must add up to a game that should be on any racing sim fan’s shelf.

    Superior simulation of the nail-baiting sport of stock racing, with amazingly realistic physics matched by a sublime 3D engine. [Feb 2003, p.94]

    Make no mistake, NASCAR Racing 4 is a great game, but if Papyrus would put its experience into something besides graphics and driving models, the next NASCAR Racing would be much better.

    What differentiates "NASCAR Racing 4" from the many racing games on the market? In a word, it's detail.

    At first, I was so taken in by the new physics, sound, and overall look that some of those faults didn't bother me...With some more work, especially on the AI and damage modeling, we could have a real winner here, but as it stands, a great driving model wrapped in a far less than satisfactory overall experience just doesn't quite make the grade.

    OK - So I gave nr2003 another shot. turns out all you need is a really good setup and know how to turn on 'stability'. The sim isOK - So I gave nr2003 another shot. turns out all you need is a really good setup and know how to turn on 'stability'. The sim is pretty realistic. N4 - I still hold hte same thoughts - easy to get behind the seat and race with but with the sierra board closed, multiplayer is only done by IP. For more info on NR03, websearch: N4Nites… Expand

    Ok. This game is great. Great online play, great physics, and great graphics. But right now it's September 27, 2001. A patch hasn't Ok. This game is great. Great online play, great physics, and great graphics. But right now it's September 27, 2001. A patch hasn't come out since April. The AI is terrible on pitting and cautions. Hopefully a patch will come out soon....… Expand
