Better than 08 but nothing special

Its a improvement over Nascar 08, but EA's Nascar games are just still off the mark by a long way. First of all the PS3 version is a port from the Xbox 360 version (which i didnt know until after buying it for PS3 ) The game has texture problems and some frame rate issues, whereas the 360 doesnt. Lazy developers!
Despite having 40 cars on track, graphically it is not great. The car models look bland, colours are not realistic enough along with bad textures and poor crowds in the stands. The engine sounds are good though. There are all the major tracks from around the country along with 1 downloadable Canadian J Villeneuve track.
The replays lacks wow factor with unexciting camera angles which you would see in real Nascar.
Unless you are a hardcore Nascar fan i would avoid this years game. EAs Nascar developers need really improve a lot for next years game, but when they have the licence and no competition its hard to imagine anything special.
I Love It !!!

As a new NASCAR fan (Due to JPM Moving into stock car racing) i thought i'd buy this game, i must admit i was a bit worried at first as last year i bought 08 and the steering was horrendous (I use D-Pad) however, i thought why not, buy it, so i did, i couldn't use the D-Pad again but the steering is so much better on 09 i'm now used to using the joystick !! The graphics are great, the gameplay is good as are crashes and pit stops etc... I would really recommend this game to anyone who's thinking of buying it, The only downside is you must play this game in HD as normal analogue isn't brill but still very playable. Come on you NSCAR fans, don't listen to those who slam this game... Buy it, Its great !!!
Very poor

NASCAR 08 was a terrible game, largely panned by gamers and reviewers alike (I only played the demo). So what did EA do for the next instalment? I rented it to find out if they had finally got it right. Unfortunately, they just took 08, changed a few names and dumped it out.
If you want sub-PS2 graphics, a car with a central pivot and colours which look like they come from a Crayoola catalogue then by all means buy this. However, if you want to race ovals, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue lets you run Daytona. May only be one track, but it is infinitely better than this.
PAL: Will play on UK and European Playstation3 only | |
