not intended for casual gamers

User Rating: 4.9 | NASCAR 08 PS3
i've purchased this game for the past few years, however if next years is anything like this years.. i probably will never buy again. this is not meant for casual gamers. i picked the setting as such and would expect to at least get a casual gamers experience, however they completely took out the fun of nascar games. they also took the fun beginner motor cars that career mode starts with. i hear it was a licensing issues but come one, how many months does it take to get that taken care of? the chase is a very butchered up carrer mode, which seems they wanted to turn it into need for speed instead of nascar. and what is so annoying is in about 80 percent of the chase stuff i did your forced to follow a annoying blinking green/blue strobe lights, that only existence in life is to see how many people it can hypnotise in hopes for your bank card info? i mean come on how could it not bother testers ? or was it even tested??/. they took a fun game and turned it into a boring, hardcore gamer game. next time i'll rent before buying.
