NASCAR Thunder 2004

Anyways, I give this game 5 stars. On a previous read review, something like this was said. "You can't spin out unless you turn your car to the loose side." Well, actually, it's very easy to spin out, I've done it with 1.5 Wedge. Only problem is, you cannot spin out in Career mode, since being sideways brings out a caution, (which I do a lot to help me). Also, on another previous read review, if you break your engine doing donuts, you're stupid. No offense meant. To many who read this and are confused on how to do a donut, go into practice anywhere, 'Dega is best to practice on, just hold the break down, then hold down accellerator, wait 5 seconds, then let break go. And just release and press again on the accell after every two spins, it's just that easy.

And yes, Career mode is challenging, but for anyone who wants to have some fun, have on your first year, the AI as rookie, and the race length as 25%, and 6, or even better, 9 races away from the EA Sports 500 at Talladega Super Speedway, if you are 9 races away, sell one body, one chassis, and one engine, and start building. But do from atleast 6. And if you're as good as me, you'll have minimal damage after the race, and a top 20 ATLEAST! (In my second year, I WON the EA Sports 500 just by pitting right, and a whole lotta prayer, but please, do not repeat what I did after the race. I grabbed a bottle of Rootbeer, ran outside, shook it up, and sprayed all over. I was just that excited ^.^) But yeah, have fun with that.

Sorry for turning this from a review to a help, but I'll bet this helped a lot of you people ^.-, plus Kansas Motor Speedway is after 'Dega, and I am Greatest at Kansas, no matter what condition my things are in.

So, overall, I think the only thing that needs improv....actually, I don't think anything needs improvment. Actually, to all you Nascar Fanatics out there, We CANNOT buy another Nascar game after this. New game = All that new points crap, and.....no.....No Rockingham! *Sniffle* It's just wrong to not have Rockingham on the list. Don't y'all agree?

This game is awesome...its the best NASCAR Game ever created! yes..rivals may be very much a pain,but thats where skill gets involved. Theres only 1 thing i do not like about this game...if someone else hits you or u hit them ON ACCIDENT because of ur car getting loose or tight,then that person(s) that u hit do not like you anymore. Thats the only thing i can think of. Physics are improved a ton! This game is awesome! It really involves skill and concentration at times.


Nascar Thunder 2004 Review   February 22, 2005

Most people view Nascar 2005: Chase for the Cup as the greatest Nascar game released. I do not feel this way. Ever since I played "Thunder 2004" for the first time, I loved it. One day, I rented Nascar 2005 and I also had Nascar Thunder 2004. I played both for 2 hours and evaluated both. Thunder may be outdated, but it is much more fun than Chase for the Cup. There are special fantasy tracks and if you have ever dreamed about racing as "Tony Stewart" around the infamous "Daytona Beach" of when Nascar started, then this is for you. It even has a create-a-car feature which you can create your own car and race it to Nascar Domination! The music and sound quality are top-notch, the car graphics and paint schemes are wonderful, and the interior shot rules! I give this game A+, but Nascar 2005: Chase for The cup only receives a D+ from me.
