Hurray for custom built cars!

Right out of the gate...this game gets major kudos from me for allowing custom skins to be created for custom cars. I enjoyed creating the cars as much, if not more than the game itself.

Graphics - Well done, tight, and pretty darn good looking. Every car was spot on with sponsors and drivers. My Xbox did lock up on several tracks and usually once or twice a night.

Gameplay - Not huge into NASCAR, but it was darn fun to play. I went with basic modes, because I dont know enough about tweaking a race car to do me any justice.

Storyline - Simple...your a NASCAR driver and you race. Some nice bonus stuff built in, and career mode was decent. Jeff Gordon did a good job for a sports actor, and the voice overs were nicely done.

If you like NASCAR, its a must have. If you just like to pick up a controller and race, then not a bad choice either.
