Reviewed on 2008-05-15 ok, but not great! I bought this product because I have liked all the nascar games, but this would be the first nascar game that i have purchased for the playstation 2. all my other games were for the xbox. well i realy liked the graphics and choice of the car of tommorow, but the ps2 controler for the game sucks. I gues i will have to purchase a game wheel and try it out, but to everyone who is thinking about purchasing this for the ps2 and using the regular controler, purchase a wheel first. see on my xbox controler you have rt triger finger controlls the gas and you can press down on it half way and get half throtle, on the ps2 its either throtle or nothing.

Reviewed on 2008-03-26 great fun I was sadly disappointed with the previous version and took it to a reseller. I love driving games and after reading some reviews decided to give NASCAR one more try. I'm glad. I have played throug a season and moved on to "earn my stripes". Starting as a rookie is easy to work through and gives needed experience for handling higher levels of expertise. Only problem...it won't support my game wheel and my hands develop fatigue so I have to keep races short. I may try the pause option to rest my hands but haven't done so yet.

Reviewed on 2007-09-20 ATTENTION EA SPORTS ATTENTION EA SPORTS NASCAR SEASON BEGINS IN FEBRUARY NOT AUGUST!!!!!!! Why does Ea sports keep putting its nascar games out when the season is practically over? By then many driver changes have been made making the game outdated as soon as they release it. Visually the game is very good and crisp but play wise is another story. A race car traveling at 200 Mph will not bounce of the wall and flip over 10 times and then miraculosly get back on the track and win the race. Who ever designs these games knows absolutely nothing about Nascar racing.

Reviewed on 2007-08-14 Great game! while this is not a perfect game, it does for the most part simulate the nascar experience. however, i seem to be having a problem with the license challenges. Is there a trick to them? any help would be appreciated.

Reviewed on 2007-08-10 Great but far from Perfect Nascar 08 is 2x better than the lagging 07 version. Thougth the 08 version does lack these Total Team Control Features of past years the new features and new COT handiling model makes this game great. Though the PS3 version is easier on the eyes and more advanced, the 08 version still is a great game on PS2 and sets a high bar for other racing games.
