    It's a good game, U spent a lot of my time with it and it's worth, you learn by example even thought the most are ovals, all ovals are different. Moreover the champinoship you can do it other things, get all thunder cards.

  1. The sounds and graphics are as good as allowed on the PSX platform.
  2. 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.
  3. Although the game is lacking in the audio department, the game's depth is what makes it special. For die-hard Nascar fans, I would give two thumbs up in buying this title.
