This is my third Nascar heat game and while I agree the on track racing is better than ever, it really needs a patch for the flags. I have relaxed flags on but used that setting in the last version and it worked great but they don'tt seem to ever come out in this game. I even wrecked a few cars on purpose leaving cars wrecked everywhere and still no yellow. Also I wish there were more options in custom car. We are limited to how they look. We need more decals. Other than that it's a fun game well worth any racing fan to pick up.

How can you do a review of a game so quickly?  Why not give it a month and then review it?

He said in the article he’s put in 30 hours. More than enough time to review

What I don’t like is some of the lighting at some of the tracks. The sun is in the wrong spot at places like Talladega and Darlington to name a few.

I was actually given a hard copy of the game around August 20th...thankfully, because I agree, games like these need a lot of time put into them.

I've never bought a NASCAR game before but my kids are asking about this one.  Do I need to purchase a steering wheel type controller or can this be played easily with the standard hand held?

It can easily be played with a controller.

Thank you! How many people can play at once on the same TV screen? I've got three boys, can they all play at once?

Two people, split screen. There’s even two Achievements for split screen racing.
