    Not quite as amazing as Papyrus' "NASCAR 2003," but it's definitely on the lead lap. [Dec 2003, p.100]

    It may not unseat "NASCAR Racing 2003 Season" as this year's premier PC NASCAR sim, but the NASCAR Thunder series is now right on the leader's tail.

    It's definitely better in almost every way than it was last year, but there are still AI issues to work out, the need to support large fields online, including AI drivers where desired, better force feedback and a re-vamped audio. All that said, the actual driving is getting quite good and believable.

    A definite improvement upon its predecessors and is loaded with playworthy features. The efforts to reach a wider audience are laudable; however, with the new features still in need of work, hardcore drivers should look elsewhere.

    I was a big fan of the 2003 papyrus franchise but this game was a huge dissapointment. Good thing I only paid $10 for it. The career mode is a good attempt that can be developed, but I bought the game for onlien play and to be honest its nearly unplayable, frequently lose connection and becomes choppy (I have a 1.5mb connection, stable ISP). Circuits with more than 4 or 5 human racers become unplayable. I'll be sticking to TOCA race driver or colin mcrae in future.… Expand
