    This is the worse racing game ever made. I’m tired of them having people who know absolutely nothing about racing make games like this. The quality is awful and worth anything close to $60.

    Just played NH5! It’s not all terrible but just a copy and paste sequel of NH4 with just a few additional features! There are some things I actually like! I haven’t tried the Testing feature yet but, I’m looking forward to doing that at some point! In career mode, I’ve noticed in the Truck Series

    Nascar Heat : A powerful Microsoft exclusive game came out and it's Nascar Heat 5. First of all I would like to say that this game can compete and can be compared against any other car race game on the market easily. Simple user interface makes things easier for players. You can jump in a career mode or multiplayer races anytime you want. Good thing about career mode is you can start aNascar Heat : A powerful Microsoft exclusive game came out and it's Nascar Heat 5.

Good thing about career mode is you can start a full career mode which has longer story line with you starting from the bottom or you can just skip some part of it and start from the main career mode. Yet when it comes to game play there's a lot to handle here by the dev team. Thousands of players are complaining from the same issues such as glitches and poor performance in some consoles the vast majority of the racetracks in NASCAR Heat 5 are comprised of ovals and you’ll barely have to do more than anything else other than slightly turning the analog stick to the left. Let's hope they show some love to this game and fix the issues for everyone as much as possible with the next generation Xbox Series X just a couple moths away.… Collapse

    NASCAR aficionados will likely love getting more action where they can, especially with the cancellation of events due to the pandemic at this time, but those that like a more varied racer might want to look elsewhere. If you want to dip your toes in the NASCAR water though, and find out why it’s more than just turning left, HEAT 5 could well be a good shout.

    If you’ve played NASCAR Heat 4, you’ll know exactly what to expect from the latest sequel. I mean that almost literally, as the main complaints from the community is that it’s essentially the same game with the 2020 season liveries and driver updates. If you already own last year’s outing, there’s not much reason to upgrade unless you’re a die-hard fan, but if you’re new to the series or skipped a few of the last ones, NASCAR Heat 5 is a great starting point, even for amateurs to the sport.

    NASCAR Heat 5 improves on the previous and successful episode adding new features and modes coupled with very well balanced difficulty modes. It's still got lot to improve in the presentation area and in the multiplayer modes too similar to the ones in previous game, but while waiting for the next-gen jump this remains a very good NASCAR experience.
