TGC writes: I had real high hopes for NASCAR 2011 but it did not deliver. The poor AI severely affects the gameplay and the ‘realistic’ parts of the game do not feel that realistic. The best part of the game is how amazingly great the moving lanyard looks on the load screen and when this is the case, you know the game is probably in trouble.
This site does know Nascar 2012 comes out soon.
Even so a first attempt with a yearly franchise is going to be missing a few elements.
This round they got some of the Papyrus team from the old Nascar game development studios to work on the game as well. So 2012 will be awesome.
Still I myself am looking forward to catching 2011 at a decent price. I have been out of the Nascar gaming loop for awhile.
The site knows that, that's why the review for this game has come out, to assist people if they were thinking of buying 2011 before 2012 on the cheap or whatever reason.
Excerpt: NASCAR 2011 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 doesn’t have the lower tier racing divisions that Langley specializes in. Instead, it focuses on the biggest baddest level of racing the sport has to offer, the Sprint Cup. And unlike other racers, it doesn’t force you to work your way up to the fastest cars. As soon as you press start, you’re at Daytona in a vehicle capable of doing 200+ MPH beside 42 other cars just a quick as yours. That’s called ‘diving into the deep end’.
GamingOgre: NASCAR has been conspicuously absent since EA dropped the license. Now that Activision has picked it up, can European developer Eutechnyx bring a purely American sport home, or does it make a right hand turn into the wall? Read our full review and find out.
that's a lot of bug fixes, the game should run smoother now
Still need to get this game
That is a lot of fixes. Hopefully it makes the game better for the people who got it. For now I'll stick with NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, until Eutechnyx can perfect NASCAR racing.
That is a nice list of fixes. Glad to see they are supporting the game after release.
