    Minus the graphics, NASCAR '07 is just as solid as it's predecessors. The skill points are nice, as are the driver attributes. And a new story mode is always good.

    As another PS2 sports title that’s been upgraded (marginally), not redesigned, those who purchased last year’s game need not add this to their collection.

    Although NASCAR 07 remains pretty much the same decent core game as last year's model, this year's model is just a little more fun for newcomers and a little more chaotic for long-time racers.

    Overflowing with licensed material but severely lacking what it needs the most: involving and exhilarating racing action with decent smash-ups. [Christmas 2006, p.96]

    Change in accelerator and brake controls left me scratching my head... I mean come on, trigger buttons? Good if yet grainy graphics. I hardly notice the "speed blur" so I can't expound on it more. This game does excel in one specific area - the actual racing. The car handling and the AI of the other cars is spot on. Now when you are in a tight pack of cars there is no feeling of helplessness as you lose control of your ride. In fact it feels like you think it must feel....incredible! I really would love some form of a replay mode. Overall a decent progression in the series, nothing mind blowing, but solid.… Expand

    playing this game makes you feel like a red neck looser, even if you are the coolest and most sophisticated guy on earth, but then...why would you buy this game?...hmmm. interesting. year after year they come up with this thing and i decided to have a go at it this year. when i was playing it, i thought i was going blind and then i realized that it was the new "blur" effect that they use to make you think you are going fast...it fails...you think you are going blind. however, there are lot of things here to keep somebody interested, the crashes are cool...im not gona kill myself trying to explain why i gave a nice 7 grade for this thing...rent it and play it, its not all that bad.… Expand
