ONE of the driving games of the decade, if not the definitive driving game of all time. This was one of the most eagerly awaited games I can remember of recent years - based largely on the sheer brilliance of its predecessor IndyCar Racing.
Nascar actually turned out to be better than we'd expected and is exactly the sort of game I would imagine to be the choice of actual racing drivers. This fully interactive demo will allow you to rocket your way around a few laps of the Talladega Superspeedway - an oval course claimed by many to the world's fastest race track, and certainly the fastest on the Nascar circuit. With the cars flying around the track in speeds in excess of 200Mph it's a fairly safe bet that this is a seat-of-your pants ride all the way.
The game itself features superb digital sounds, and for added realism the actual cars, drivers, teams, tracks and even sponsors of the Nascar circuit. Of course, should you get bored of those we have loads of new car sets for your game. The OJ Simpson car set with the Ford Bronco may prove a particularly popular choice at the moment. Look out in particularly for the realistic crashes, whenever your car hits a wall/other cars, bits will fly off but you can continue to race, albeit in a damaged condition. It is detail like this that makes Nascar one of the finest racing simulations around.
