    I'm giving this a high rating, it still has some potential to it, The graphics look nice and the paint booth looks good aswell, the damage model also looks good but there are a lot of issues that should be fixed, 1 there's still a lot of bugs that can be removed or fixed, 2 is that the single player thus far is quite intriguing because of how it functions, the AI act stupidly dumb most ofI'm giving this a high rating, it still has some potential to it, The graphics look nice and the paint booth looks good aswell, the damage model also looks good but there are a lot of issues that should be fixed, 1 there's still a lot of bugs that can be removed or fixed, 2 is that the single player thus far is quite intriguing because of how it functions, the AI act stupidly dumb most of the time which is the reason why players don't like the game, and 3, the lack of features makes this game unsatisfying to buy due to that said stuff, It basically needs "Stages" "Back view Mirror" "Xfinity and Trucks" and also Fantasy tracks, more sponsors and proper wheel support, there are a mixed overall review towards this game due to it's showcase, other than that it can still be improved by the developers.… Expand

    NASCAR 21: Ignition is a new start for the brand. We need to remember that. That being said, this is a very disappointing launch for a game. The overall gameplay lacks in many ways, the AI is incompetent at times and struggles to understand, there are some larger glitches that can easily take you out of the game and ruin the experience as well. The paint booth and career mode are very good and fun to go through. That is about it. I want to add that other users and players are reporting that playing on PC is bringing a bit better of an experience so if you are looking for the game, that might be your best bet as of now. I still think there is a lot of hope for the franchise. There are some things here that are positive foundations. However, NASCAR 21: Ignition has just missed the racing line and slammed the outside wall.

    It’s hard to recommend NASCAR 21: Ignition, even if you’re a die-hard NASCAR fan. There’s just not enough content here to warrant the price tag, especially considering that the experience at the core of it can be described as decent and nothing more. This is perhaps a good base for Motorsport Games to work from, but until then, you’re better off sticking with the better, and now a lot cheaper, NASCAR Heat 5.

    It's hard to recommend NASCAR 21: Ignition in its current state, and it will probably play best a little bit down the road after Motorsports Games gets all of the technical issues worked out. There definitely are some good elements to make for a fun experience, and when the game cooperates enough to allow players to experience them, the driving and overall presentation of a NASCAR race are enjoyable. While there's potential to be a good game, the frustrating amount of bugs combined with a scaled-back amount of content makes NASCAR 21: Ignition a disappointing racing simulator in its current state, with a caveat that future patches may help improve its standing somewhat.
