CheatCC says - "Let me preface this by saying that not only do I enjoy racing games, but I'm also a casual NASCAR fan. So, the promise of the return of a video game franchise for NASCAR intrigued me, having enjoyed playing past NASCAR Thunder titles and eager to see how developments in recent racing games (i.e. the tuning options in Forza) would impact NASCAR 2011. In regards to the latter, we're given some nice tuning options to customize our car to handle how we'd like it to handle, adding in a subtle strategy to the game. For the former, however, this plays nothing like NASCAR Thunder. NASCAR The Game 2011 has spun out, wrecked, and been sent back to the garage. Or at least it should be."
Dead Pixel Live interviewed the VP of Eutechnyx, Ed Martin, about developing Activision's NASCAR The Game 2011. Topics covered in the nearly hour long talk include Ed's early days at Papyrus and Electronic Arts, the evolution of NASCAR as a sport, and where NASCAR The Game is headed in the future. We also find out how Kinect and PSMove may figure into future games, the difficulties of getting 43 cars on screen at once, and even how a paint job can effect the development of a racing game.
TheGamingExperience says: "As for single player though, this game does truly shine. If you have ever played the previous installments of the Nascar franchise, you would remember that they lacked depth and realism. Well Eutechnyx has put both of them into it with the ROBUST create-a-car / drive feature; as for realism, well let’s just say if you’re not first, you’re last. If you really want that competitiveness that is Nascar"
Neocrisis: Nascar The Game 2011 is a Nascar Simulation game for the fans! The graphics in this game a very good, almost life life. The controls are also good and do what they are supposed to. Music in this game really set the mood of Nascar. Gameplay is as good as a sim sports game can be. This is not a perfect sports sim though!
I almost bought it this past weekend, glad I skipped it
