    I think the only people that will enjoy this game are the real race car drivers. I have raced over 30 times and not won once yet. This game is very difficult and too technical. Whenever I tinker around with the settings(adding bigger engine and new parts), the engine will blow up upon me revving it. I pull up to the starting line, rev the engine and the engine will smoke and I can not I think the only people that will enjoy this game are the real race car drivers.

Whenever I tinker around with the settings(adding bigger engine and new parts), the engine will blow up upon me revving it. I pull up to the starting line, rev the engine and the engine will smoke and I can not move. Another thing I did not like was that so far I havent seen a replay yet. Usually racing games show a replay after the race. A replay is especially needed when the whole race only lasts 10 seconds, but none to be found. The graphics are OK, could have been much better considering that only 2 cars on the screen at one time. The sounds are not really good either. well i give this game a six because it is a pretty lousy game, but for the price it is worth it. Now if this game was $50 then it would got a score of 1. This game only cost $15, so with that in mind it shall recieve a 6. … Expand

    I gave this game a 7 because it has its good and bad points. First off it is VERY technical, you'd better know what a torque converter or a roll bar is. (i play lots of Nascar so im good) It is fun though to punch the gas and see flames light up under your car. Although at the end of the race there is no replay or feeling of satisfaction (oh yay! i got some more points! im ranked I gave this game a 7 because it has its good and bad points.

(i play lots of Nascar so im good) It is fun though to punch the gas and see flames light up under your car. Although at the end of the race there is no replay or feeling of satisfaction (oh yay! i got some more points! im ranked first) multiplayer makes the game better. The sound is so so, mostly just gutair solos and some other riffs. The graphics are ok but not good, this game was made in what '00? So was ok for its time. (if there was a drag racing 3 i'd like to see it with Nascar 2003-4 graphics) all and all it won't ruin your weekend. If you can help me get a fast car please e-mail me at FireRocker@aol.com i just can't seem to win!… Expand

    I bought this game mainly because the title was released by Bethesda and they seem to have the best niche games. I think I outdid myself on this one because I am not a fan of drag racing but thought a Bethesda title would be a perfect entry point. I was wrong. The title is pretty early in the ps2 lifecycle and not all that great visually. Lots of options to customize your car exist but theI bought this game mainly because the title was released by Bethesda and they seem to have the best niche games. I think I outdid myself on this one because I am not a fan of drag racing but thought a Bethesda title would be a perfect entry point. I was wrong. The title is pretty early in the ps2 lifecycle and not all that great visually. Lots of options to customize your car exist but the parameters/ results of the customization seem too extreme. As expected there are lots of options for rigging your car but the experimentation is just not interesting enough for me to program my noob brain into liking drag racing. It's too difficult to become pretend immersed when some parameters launch your car to the moon in arcadelike fashion. That really was the issue if it's a sim then settings are too outlandish. A lot of die hard car fans seem to think this game rocks so I leave it to their reviews but for me, a non drag fan trying to enter the genre, the game was a no go, thus my warning rating of 6/10.… Expand

    A competent but no-frills rendition of a racing sport that put as much emphasis in the tweaking of the vehicle being raced as in the all-too-quick races themselves.
