GAME WAS VERY SCRACHED BUT I BUFFED IT AND WORK FINE SHIPPING WAS VERY FAST
Here is where I feel the game excels. After all, you really shouldn't be able to hold the throttle all the way down through the turns at Bristol. After getting used to the control of the car (requiring a few repeat attempts), I was able to get the win and make it to the main menu screen. Though everyone's personal experiences will vary, the game offers a wide enough spectrum of detail and playability to be fun and challenging to all. You also have a plethora of tracks to race on, including both real and fantasy tracks. I have learned a lot about racing and strategy and now find myself able to compete competently (though not always well) in all the races I run. Luckily, there are also those who appreciate the skill and timing needed to race for real. You will also find your favorite drivers.
This world is filled with gamers who insist that they should be able to hold down the excelerator and plow through the field of cars en route to an easy win, letting the game brake for them. The game is not impossible without braking, as some think. It all adds realism to the racing experience. You have the quick race option, season mode, chase for the cup, flight to the top, and other modes involving various challenges. I also enjoy manual transmission, which you can also apply.
This system makes it important to focus additional attention on your racing team as a whole and less on your individual success. Obviously they aren't like NASCAR 08 (Iv'e heard that comparison a lot), but this isn't a comparative essay; it's a review. It just takes practice. With the FLight to the Top mode (start as a rookies Whelen driver and work your way to the top of racing and ownership), you get to earn your pa and fight to become the best. Upon realizing that I wasn't intersted in playing a new first-person shooter or the usual sports games (hockey, basketball, football, etc)., I took some brotherly advice and picked up NASCAR 06. The physics are quite realistic and account for oversteering, understeering, drafting, worn tires, braking, etc., all things you can deal with in real life. To start with, there are a few topics to discuss to get a thorough review of this game: gameplay, options, and personal experience. From there, I experienced a revelation that would launch me into a NASCAR-rootin' frenzy and get me racing every NASCAR game I could get my hands on.
They have instituted Total Team Control system that allows you to communicate with the rest of your team and even use voice commands with your pit chief. This game was the perfect selection for my curious video game hankering. All in all, both types of gamers will find a style of racing that will suit them. The game includes Whelen, Craftsman, Nationwide, and Nextel (now Sprint) cup racing. Each game mode is well-done and involving. So, I encourage you (especially those who are new to the sport, but don't want to spend $50 on NASCAR 08) to reach up and tighten those belts one more time and let the game show you why NASCAR has become one of the biggest spectator sports.
There are plenty of things to satisfy anyone from casual to seasoned gamer. Let's take a look at some of the things that make up the gameplay. In an world where many gamers seek new types of gaming experiences, we find that entering into a new world of experience can be both frustrating and difficult. Immedietely upon loading the game, I found myself playing the last couple of laps at Daytona.
BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY LET'S GO RACIN' BOYS. It was a good introduction to the style and control of the game. Either way you want it, you can toggle the driving assists on and off. Light shines and moves over the cars and the wrecks and tracks are pretty realistic as well. I have played NASCAR 05, 07, and 08 now, and can honestly say that this game is better than 05, similar to 07, but not quite as good as 08. The options you have in this game are very well done. This is pretty good for a guy coming into the game as one who has never watched racing.
In a world where many gamers wish to achieve high levels of success very quickly, many times people tend to overlook the nature of gaming success and tend to not appreciate the level of detail created to ensure that gamers will get the most realistic simulation experiences the developers can create. While seeking a new game to play for my Xbox, I found my self bored with the selection of games that usually find their way into my possession. And for the current price, you aren't really losing much if it isn't your cup of tea. As far as personal experience goes, I can say that I have more fun playing this game than most of the games I own. Having no prior knowledge of NASCAR, I found myself intrigued by a sport I knew nothing about. The cars' movement is realistic and the graphics are pretty good.
As far as the game mode options, this game rocks. The gameplay in this game is a very touchy subject for many gamers out there. The one beef that I see brought up most often is the use of braking and driving assists.
The graphics (I believe) are good. You may not have all of the car setup options as 08, but you can still adjust quite a few things. I find it much more fulfilling to take 30-40 laps of practice to learn each track and when to back off the throttle and brake and then pick up the throttle again.
This game features a good control system that allows you to make similar driving moves and mistakes inherent in real-life racing. You have to spend time learning where the entrances and exits are for the turns. In conclusion, I found NASCAR 06 to be a great game that can be both an introduction to the sport and a realistic racing simulation that will satisfy the needs of fans.
The career mode is fun too, start out a little guy and work your way up through the ranks. I don't get to use the total team control feature because it's function is tied to the spare thumbstick which my steering wheel doesn't support, but even without the feature this game is a lot of fun. This is a pretty cool game overall. I spend quite a bit of white knuckle time racing the big boys on quick races. It's gotten so cheap to buy this game I would rate it a definite buy if you've only got a few bucks to burn.
I recommend this game for those who are new or has basic knowledge of Nascar racing. I love Nascar racing, but what this game really lacked. You can get a good feel on how things go in this game. But, the game is loads of fun and still has a high resale value IMO. Race wheel capability that would have been great. I would not get rid of this game (if you still have it).
Nascar 07 is the best game ever. because it has good graphics and allows you to be apart of a team. It is fun and you should buy it
