A Great step foward for EA, but things are still missing.

Everybody knows that EA's Nascar games have been lacking in the past few years. Well this year is an exception. This game is really nicely done and alot of fun. Great graphics, car models are near perfect, Damage/Wrecks are very nice (Although a bit too dramatic). Now if you liked the way previous Nascar games handled you will have to get use to the handiling in this game. It wont take long to get use to, but at the beginning its like "WTF?" This game has alot of good things going for it..BUT there is alot of missing parts.

The carreer mode ("The Chase") is completly boring and stripped down. Its nothing but a few Tests to see how good you are and a Nextel Season. There is no "Work Your Way Up". The cars still feel like huge bricks. You hit somone they SHOULD spin or get loos...not just get some damage and keep going. The game is very very shallow with barley any features at all. There is a full feild of NEXTEL drivers, but there are only a few NBS drivers and like 5 Truck drivers....The rest are Fantasy (WHY EA!!!!!). The worst part is probably the MOST promising. The online is so Laggy/Glitchy/Buggy thats it is almost unplayable..BUT without all that it is a BLAST!.

All in All Nascar 08 is a step in the right direction for EA, but they still have a long way to go.

    Worst racing Game of the year?

    Well If being Nascar wasn't enough of a blow to this game, then you can take your pick of what you don't like about it. Is it the Playstation 2 quality graphics? Is it the god-awful controls? Is it the fact that drivi... Read Full Review
