    This review is based on half a season in career mode on normal setting. OK while this game certainly will not satisfy the hardcore sim racers like Project Cars does, it is fun to play. The learning curve is easy but that does not mean it is easy to win a race. The setup adjustments in career mode are pretty thin (tape, wedge and tire pressure) but the default setups are pretty flawlessThis review is based on half a season in career mode on normal setting. OK while this game certainly will not satisfy the hardcore sim racers like Project Cars does, it is fun to play. The learning curve is easy but that does not mean it is easy to win a race. The setup adjustments in career mode are pretty thin (tape, wedge and tire pressure) but the default setups are pretty flawless and it is very forgiving on mistakes, too much so in my book, only way to get DNF would be smash into a crashed car or smack a wall very hard.

    That bein said, while the cars are easy to DRIVE it is not easy to win. Like I said I'm race in race 18 on normal mode and my best finish so far is 9th but I'm 25th in points...they just don't give you enough horsepower to compete with the big boys til you build your team up by acquiring garage improvements, which is how it should be,

    Like I said if you are into tinkering with setups and playing engineer geek then stick with project cars....but remember Project cars doesn't have all the Nascar stars.....OR even OVALS for that matter! Altho the bare bones menus and setups are way to thin for my tastes, its worth the $60 because its fun, even tho arcadey. Hopefully next year they will spice it up with more setup options,AI sliders, and stats menu.    … Expand

    AI drivers are great in this game!! But sad this game wont allow me tune my car and driving settings in career. Career is pretty fun but I didnt like to drive without braking... this game automatic assists you in braking and stab control. Kinda suck. I could do it myself since I had been pro racing online in old NASCAR simulation series. So far I see this game is designed for casualAI drivers are great in this game!!

    NASCAR Fire Evolution winds up being a very enjoyable blitz through the often scoffed world of saloon car racing. Whilst it does keep things simple and rarely strays into a simulation, I’m kept engrossed with a solid driving engine and enough modes to keep casual and die-hard fans satisfied.

    A fantastic game in practice, but has a terrible presentation elsewhere. At the end of the day, this makes NASCAR Heat Evolution a disappointing title rather than a full-fledged trip into victory lane. With some amazing features available, but near impossible to enjoy, NASCAR Heat Evolution is a game that will only please hardcore NASCAR or racing game fans.

    The entertaining racing delivers a good foundation for the series, but there’s just not enough depth in this package to consider this a complete experience.
