Don't play it.

Released: May 6, 2002
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Crawfish Interactive
Game Genre: Stock Car Racing
ESRB Rating: E for Everyone

Opening Thoughts:
Looks like Atari hasn't gotten used to the newer graphics. This NASCAR title looks like it belongs on an earlier system.

Gameplay (4/10)
Gameplay gets props because it has a career mode that spans multiple seasons. You must qualify for a team and then race with them for that season. However, the in-game play is much different. Controls are difficult because of the small screen, CPU cars have terrible physics that make you bounce off them like rocks, and holding the A button just gets boring.

Graphics (3/10)
As I said earlier, it looks like a game that belongs on the Gameboy Color rather than the Advance. There is a lot of pixilation and etc.

Durability (5/10)
The career mode is interesting and if you have friends that play it, there is a 4-player multiplayer mode.

Overall Score (4/10)

Final Thoughts:
Don't play it.
