  • Summary: The dated graphics and the surprisingly inept gameplay make for a bad combination that dooms the game to mediocrity.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 1 out of 4
  2. Negative: 1 out of 4
  1. This game's got enough depth and challenge to warrant a purchase. [July 2002, p.93]
  2. 24 cars are supposed to be on the track, but you rarely see more than three or four on the screen at once. That's a far cry from the 20+ that were visible on the Xbox version.
  3. 50
    If the game had better visibility, a higher framerate, and tighter controls, NASCAR Heat would be a decent racer on the GBA.
  4. The top-down view of the action is a tad tight, so it's hard to anticipate upcoming turns. [July 2002, p.152]
