looks like crap, and nascar is for southern redneck 50 year olds!

ironwolf6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

the young racist should research NASCARs popularity. The only sport in the U.S. with a bigger audience is NFL Football.

sovietsoldier6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

im white so how can i be a racist against whites? your all just being a bunch of nappy headed ho's when you call me a racist!

HaKeRsCanRotINHEL6224d ago

You were made a martyr buy the hypocritical media and self interested advertisers! DOUBLE STANDARDS, PEOPLE.

MaximusPrime6225d ago

race go round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round.

Sorry not for Europe. I prefer F1.

likeaboss3026225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

the PS2 screenshots? Please tell me they aren't making that mess for 360 or PS3.

M4RK19886225d ago

don't look great and don't do the game justice. It will look MUCH better than that.

I am an F1 fan myself but I do like Nascar, its not as boring as people make it out be be, after all theres loads more crashes than in F1.
I watched the Daytona 500 a couple of months back and it was far more exciting than the majority of F1 races.

bloop6225d ago

Nope, just dont get it. Driving around in circles and circles?? Wheres the skill?? Nascar is totally retarded!! And M4RK, your talking about crashes??? Its supposed to be a racing, not a destruction derby, is it not??

GrooveChampion6225d ago

I'd say the skill is in driving at 140mph only meters away from 6 other cars. Being surrounded on a track and still having to maintain a solid line AND top speed isn't easy. Having to weave and dodge through a group of cars on a narrow short track is an awesome feeling, as is drafting and passing on the last lap of the race or getting a bump from your buddy to help you across the line. It's also one of the few forms of racing to support and allow real teamwork between drivers.

That being said, these screens don't look as good as F1 on PS3, but I'll buy this because I really have no alternative on consoles nowadays. As long as it's better than 07, I'll be satisfied.

bloop6225d ago

Nope, gotta disagree. Theres more skill involved in F1. One slip up and it could end up resulting in a 10 car pile up. Where do Nascar drivers train?? On the bumper cars at the fairground?? You just cant compare hurtling down a straight at 200mph, with a hairpin bend in front of you, trying to get your braking perfect to hit the apex and get good exit speed from a corner, all whilst not trying to cause a pile up, to driving around in circles bumping other cars out of the way. I just dont get the sport at all. Anyway, thats all off topic, the game looks crap either way.

Racing on the 360

Disney Studios released Pure last week, and if you played the demo, you probably got hooked. Even if you're not ready to plunk down $60 to trick out on your ATV, there are other great deals to be found. The Goozex Report breaks down the most popular racing games available for the Xbox 360, complete with current values for each of the games, along with their Metacritic scores. This is a must-read for gamers who prefer to trade than buy.

Wonderwallweb give NASCAR 7/10

Quote from site:

"Whilst its reasonable looking, it does not even touch the likes of Burnout or Gran Turismo. This is a real shame as the bad looks don't stop there, the cars themselves look really dated, very square edges, and dull looking, it even borders on lazy, go for a 3rd person view and look behind you, take a turn and your driver does not even move to steer, however the in car view at least makes him turn the steering wheel and it also has a better sense of speed. Even the drift effect is really poor, hang behind another car and there will be a few wispy, hair-like lines around the car, whilst it does the job in showing the drift, it looks lame. Overall the graphics are more like last gen PS2 or Xbox rather than a 360 title".

Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games

The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune. Check out our full list of the Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games right here.

In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.

decapitator5892d ago

Damn, I have seen lower but thats really low. Why is that game rated so low ?

skynidas5892d ago

yep that game really sucks

sonarus5892d ago

i doubt it is as bad as hour of victory. I got it from a friend and it was terrible. Worst use of Unreal engine yet. The faces look like they were made with mud

InYourMom5892d ago

Not a good game at all.

Actually this whole list I agree with. The biggest disappointments being Blacksite Area51 and Two Worlds because I had high hopes for both of those games so they stung extra hard when I found they were not very good.

They got the list of worst 360 games just about right with many top PS3 games in it.

poos35892d ago

the multiplats on that list are some of the best ps3 games out there

Rocko5891d ago

Then again, you probably bought Lair as well.

Breakfast5892d ago

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam

Biggest piece of garbage know to man...

Kojima touches kids5892d ago

Lair is by far the worst game available on any platform.

Breakfast5892d ago

I played about 15 minutes of lair at a friends. Thats about 10 more minutes than i played Gundam. I really dont even know why i played Gundam im no fan of the show or whatever it is.

Trust me that game belongs in the garbage, not a console.

jackdoe5892d ago

I actually like Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Now Gundam Crossfire. That is a real, sh!tty game.

Gish5892d ago

Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)

masterdebator5892d ago

I liked the first area 51, but blacksite was garbage.

Gish5892d ago

I never played the first one. I am sure Blacksite would have faired better if it hadn't come out at the end of the year during the golden months of last year.

masterdebator5892d ago

My expectations were probably a little too high because I enjoyed the first one a lot, but they should of delayed it for a few months. It would probably made the game a whole lot better.

bourner5891d ago

to 5.1 its not saying that the 360 is bad its just a look at the worst games that developers have made. just funny to talk about some of the games people made and there problems . dont go and stick up for 360 when no one is attacking it and just have a laught

Gish5891d ago

Actually wasn't sticking up or putting down either. I only have a PS3, so I know it was a rough game for me on that. Plus I was just bored and felt like commenting. Wasn't one of my "deep thought provoking" posts. :)
