NASCAR 06: Total Team Control: Raising the bar for virtual racing
User Rating: 9.7 | NASCAR 06: Total Team Control PS2
NASCAR 06: Total Team Control is surprisingly one of the most hotly anticipated games to hit the gaming market for the NASCAR gaming series. Not only does the graphics look sharper and better quality looking, the sub-title of this game really stands out on its own. Since it won't be you, the player, getting all the credit and the career mode focusing on just you; you'll be working with your teammates to help get the team noticed more on the racing scene. The all-new Interactive Crew Chief Feature during the races is a very helpful tool to help get you and your teammates to the top. For instance you can draft off of your teammate to get to the front of the field or have your teammate block your opponent. If you want to get fast lap times, you can ask your teammate to follow you and cut the drag off of your car. The Swap Car feature lets you take control of your teammate's car and that can be helpful if you are aiming to try and build your team's prestige in Fight To The Top. The all new Phone system in Fight To the Top is impressive since not only can you listen to your Audio messages like you did in NASCAR 05: Chase For The Cup, you can also send E-mail messages to your contacts and also get helpful tips. And as always, Ace Moneymaker is your main agent in this game like in NASCAR 05. (Wish there was a way to get different agents) He also gives you tutorial sessions on how to use the Race Commands during the race. Overall this game should definitely be on your "Want" list if you are a hardcore NASCAR fan because you'll get a sense of just how important your teammates play in your success in the racing world.
