If you play on Easy or Medium, prepare to win nearly every race, save Daytona, with at LEAST a two-second lead. For one, there's just no middle ground when it comes to difficulty. The main issue here is the rubber band AI. With Bristol, there is absolutely no way to avoid the turn 4 wall, and sometimes, sliding against it bounces you into the air, stops all forward momentum, and sends you across the track in one of the game's more laughable moments. Bristol and Daytona, as well as the road courses, have their moments. It's not nearly as terrible as Days of Thunder which was all about finding new and exciting ways to screw you over. Not hardly Gran Turismo good, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Just horrendous work here.Īs far as core gameplay goes, the game is solid. These lines are repeated about three times each, IN A 15 LAP RACE. He's about 4 seconds too late when it comes to cars being on your door, constantly says "clear" when you have a lead of any amount, and the absolute worst part lies in his CONSTANTLY lamenting about his food issues, talking about choking on cocktails, dropping hot dogs, and buying pizza. In the Days of Thunder review, I ragged on the voice work as being bad, but at least Rowdy Burns was INFORMATIVE. The cars sound as they should, although when pulling out of the pits for qualifying there's a weird skipping in the engine.The biggest issue here is the spotter. The soundtrack has with only one subpar song.
The menu music, especially opening with ZZ Top's "La Grange", isn't bad at all. It's not like I need to see how far I am behind the leader or how much fuel I have remaining, right?įor the most part, the sound is what you'd expect. It assumes that everyone playing is playing on an HDTV (and I'm not), and not including an SD mode, thus making the text for tube televisions tiny and almost unreadable. The user interface is nice, although it suffers from the same problem that other games have in recent memory.
Nascar the game 2011 soundtrack Patch#
I'm looking forward to seeing how the 2011 models look when that patch is released at the end of the month.Īs far as the other graphics go, the tracks look decent and are up to date as possible with the 2010 season. But as an overall critique, the team did a good job with the base models. Sure, there's no way they could live up to those in Gran Turismo 5's, and there are quite a few decal nitpicks I have. Let's start with what's good about the game.įor one, at least when the cars aren't damaged, they were rendered pretty well. The team behind N2011 certainly had the pedigree to to live up to that standards, but did they succeed? Some of us wanted to believe this would be the second coming of NASCAR Racing 2003, or for others, NASCAR Thunder 2004. After nearly three years without a proper NASCAR title, fans finally have a new game, with a new production team, as Activision and Eutechnyx take over for EA and Tiburon. If you've followed our Race Day Open Threads, you've seen the hype we've placed on NASCAR The Game 2011.
