    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

    It really rocks for those who like drag racing & ihra . it's maybe hard and the controls are complicated but practice does, man.

    I currently have a car with about 10,000 hp as well as around 10,000 fpt. But i can only get it to run mid 6's right now. Can anyone give me some info on the best transmission to use. I cannot figure out what gear ratios to use. Please email me if you can help.

    A blue backed CD-ROM is the first problem. This game worked once and then never again. Well, during that one set of games I won a game after about 15-30 minutes into it, however, the game was returned because 1) blue-back CD-ROM and 2) it stunk. If you are REALLY into tweaking engines and a bunch of technical crap without any real depth, this game is for you.

    At first I couldn't figure out how to play....i couldnt get past 60mph and it would give me an automatic trans. ****BUT!!!!**** I figured out how to fly down the strip.

Just be carefull b/c if you put too much stuff you'll blow your engine just burning out. I also pick the slicks for the rear tires which help you bust out some wheelies when you take off. My only gripe with the game is the controls.......it would be great if you could turn some controls off so u don't hit them when your racing.… Expand

    If you think this game deserves a 10, you must not have played any other Playstation 2 games. This game seems like it's from the original Nintendo age. With technology as it is, I can't believe this game isn't created and edited better. The game play makes the sport of drag racing look too complicated, boring, and cheap. I hope future drag racing fans aren't swayed by If you think this game deserves a 10, you must not have played any other Playstation 2 games. This game seems like it's from the original Nintendo age.

    I rate this game a 4 because I can't even drive the cars. I push on the gas and I go nowhere. The top speed I have (luckly) reached is 98 mph.

    I rate this game a 10 because it is the best drag racing game out there and in some cases may be difficult but that gives you a challenge when must games are easy and if you think this game is to hard you can adjust the settings of your opponents to make them go slower. the graphics are good but not great as it could be.

    If you dont like this game, then either you dont like cars, have never touched one, or are too stupid to figure it out.

    I give this game a 0. #1) I cant even get off the line and I can only get up to 80 mph tops. (Thats after I am on the track for 5 mins.) #2) The graphics are pretty bad...the flames from the fuelies are a joke and a half. If some1 could tell me how to get over 100 mph and see some action, please please please e-mail me at fast_ones_racin@hotmail.com please...thx

    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.

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

    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.
