    This game is way, way, way better than the last incarnation. That said, sadly, I'm giving it a ZERO out of ten - because it's just shockingly poor. The graphics are ok - physics, handling, sound and everything else about this game are dreadful. What were the developers thinking of? Dreadful game. In summary: BAD. VERY, VERY BAD.

    This is a half-hearted attempted for putting out a NASCAR game. First and foremost, the career mode is severely lacking - you have no options of designing your car (unless you want to use your car in a single player race (ie. not career mode)). The AI is trash, if you qualify on the pole - it's nearly impossible to lose the race. Bumping/rubbing/tapping an AI is 100% of the time going toThis is a half-hearted attempted for putting out a NASCAR game.

    Driving physics are as intuitive as they are challenging. Opponents do a good job of advancing through thick traffic, although they do tend to cause unfortunate accidents.

    Although last year's NASCAR The Game 2011 was a credible effort, Inside Line is the first NASCAR racing game in years that feels like someone cared. [Holiday 2012, p.72]

    Even on the easy setting, the game is very unforgiving and style and technique trump power and speed. This is a fairly true simulator that should end up trackside in a fancy setup with a rumble seat and steering wheel. Driving with a controller is very touchy and a decent wheel would be the choice way to play.
