    The sounds and graphics are as good as allowed on the PSX platform.

    The racing in NASCAR Thunder 2002 is solid, fun and deep. Racing a career almost feels like an RPG when you take on the role of NASCAR's most famous teams and drivers.

    Can’t live up to its big brother on the PS2, but don’t let that stop you from playing it, especially if you’re a NASCAR fan. It’s fun, exciting, and very playable, but its hard to keep people who’ve seen the Sistine Chapel to appreciate graffiti.

    Save your money for a PS2 and a copy of Thunder for that system. It's worth it. [Jan 2002, p.146]
