    This game gets a higher rating because of the nolstagia it gives me of playing the dirt to daytona game all those years ago. Unfortunately, a lof of the visuals (not graphics so to speak - camera angles & presentation), game sounds, and spotter calls all sound more or less the same almost 15 years later. There is a lot of content with 4 series and a great number of tracks to choose from,This game gets a higher rating because of the nolstagia it gives me of playing the dirt to daytona game all those years ago. Unfortunately, a lof of the visuals (not graphics so to speak - camera angles & presentation), game sounds, and spotter calls all sound more or less the same almost 15 years later. There is a lot of content with 4 series and a great number of tracks to choose from, even in the dirt series. The AI is tough if you crank it up so it can provide a challenge keeping pace, which is fun. I don't like the presets though as the "loose" options seems to make your car lose grip seemingly at random.

    Overall, still mostly the same game as the previous iterations but it's loads of fun with lots of content to keep you entertained for a while. If you have the previous versions of this game, I don't think I could recommend the upgrade.    … Expand

    The work 704 is doing with NASCAR series is impressive if you look at the games before this third one, there’s such an evolve through the years and little by little they are growing. Gameplay improves every year, but nevertheless It doesn’t offer a truly racing experience, a performance with the quality enough to compete with the greatest games of motorsport. Nascar heat Series have the potential to compete with them, although for the moment, they are stuck in their own progress with no look in the future. Right now is just another arcade cars game, but I’m pretty sure this will change in future games.

    Ultimately, there is a difference between being easy and not very good. NASCAR Heat 3 is severely let down by the anodyne on-track action. Lacking any sort of driver enjoyment undoes the hard work put into the officially licenced lineup and career path options. Even for a racing game fan, this game is as dull as dishwater and extraordinarily derivative.

    All things considered, I've had fun with NASCAR Heat 3. The seasons you take part in can feel draining but there's a charm to the career mode with the fake twitter exchanges and the 'I've only got one take to give' video segments. I'm not sure how long my enthusiasm will last but the arcade handling provides an enjoyable time behind the wheel.
