    Xbox's NASCAR Thunder is better. [Dec 2001, p.93]

    The game itself just needs more depth; they should have put the Thunder Cards in like the PlayStation version.

    Thunder 2002 comes as close as any NASCAR title ever could to making me a convert to the sport, which is a high complement from someone that finds NASCAR races on TV way too boring and repetitive.

    One of the best racing games I've ever played. The graphics are great, but you may have trouble in the beginning getting all the details straight. I first played this game over my friends house, and I loved it so much I went out and bought it the next day. A must buy! Great addictive racing game.… Expand
