NASCAR 2001 review
Posted by @ 6:47 PM, EST
We added a review of EA’s PS2 racer, NASCAR 2001.
Here’s a bit:

At the track you have a number of options in order to ready your team for the big race. These include tuning up the car, taking a test run and taking a qualifying run. Finally you can choose to take the race. During the race you will have to keep an eye on your cars' functions and listen to your pit crew for constant advice. While racing you really have to figure out how you will win the race. This is partly due to the smart A.I. EA Sports has devised for this game. Each driver is rated in multiple categories so that computer drivers model real-life tendencies of NASCAR drivers - Earnhardt drives low into the corner, Jarret drives consistently on long runs, and Gordon is smooth in and out of the turns. While this detail to A.I. provides a challenge, at times it can cause frustration. Try leading for 90% of the race only to lose at the last turn.

How bad can the games get?? First Gameday, now College football almost got a dud at Daily Radar. THIS IS NOT WHAT I BOUGHT MY PS2 FOR!! Bouncer got less than a AAA review, great! Everyday I don't play my PS2 I get more and more dissapointed in it. GT3 better be damn amazing! Hell, maybe selling mine would be a great idea considering how in demand it is. All because of the hype. I wonder how many ppl sell their PS2s after playing the only 3 average games available for it and realizing that it ain't all that(yet).
I sure am glad I have a DC as well. Le Mans is amazing, but I would guess you "systemers" will never find that out. What a loss.
