    Though not the ultimate representation of the sport we are still awaiting, the game gets the action through and should satisfy most fans with its packed gameplay. Definitely worth a look.

    While it is to some degree better than "Nascar 2001," in many ways it is almost the same game (aside from the new foil cover). It features the same oval tracks, same types of cars and the same types of options.

    The realism is awesome and challenging. For me that's what it's all about.

    This game is just great from the graphics to the intensity. It's like really racing in NASCAR. The best NASCAR game I have ever played!!
