Hi,
I would like to get 1 of the multitude of Nascar games on the market.
Can somebody please recommend which is the most appropriate game? Local
stores have Nascar 3, Nascar Legends, Nascar 1999, Nascar Revolution,
Nascar Revolution SE and on and on.
I am not a "serious sim racer". I don't have hours and hours of spare
time to devote to learning how to drive my car and optimize the setup.
I just want to have fun racing in my few moments of spare time. Good
sound and good graphics would certainly be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions/help.
Cheers,
Gary.
Not a close call: Nascar 3. Unless you enjoy throwing money down the
toilet, stay away from Nascar Revolution products. N3 has simpler modes
for those not all that experienced, and probably the best way to go at
them is to turn down the opponent strength to something like 95%. You
can keep races short, avoid pit stops, customize the game in almost any
way. You'll also get an automatic connection to "wonswap," from which
you can download setups. You should also know about www.theuspits.com,
where you can find everything you'll need and a lot you won't know what
to do with.
BUT: you'll enjoy the game much, much more if you put in some consistent
practice, try to get the hang of it, and bump up the opponent strength.
Don't expect to win every race, which would be like scoring on every
play in an NFL game--it doesn't happen. This is a game that rewards
application, patience, consistency, good sense. As they say on the
circuit, it isn't how fast you go, it's how high you finish.

Your local store has :
That would be the best choice for your needs. I suggest it. Great depth of
gameplay, if you want you can go in arcade mode and have a blast. The
setups inside the simulation are great, you won't be forced to do any setup
tweaking if you don't want to.
Get Nascar 3, and if you love it, just imagine the same simulation but
modeled on the 1970 Nascar Grand National season. It is as good as N3, but
get N3 before since it's a product that has more sales, and that means if
you want to race in multiplayer it will be very easy for you.
This is the previous title before N3.
Stay away from those two, or any Nascar title by Electronic Arts imho.

Nascar 3. Period.
