    For the NASCAR fans looking for the chance to pursue The Chase on their Xbox 360, stock car racing doesn't get any better than NASCAR 08.

    NASCAR 08 is not a bad game, but you'll probably feel like it has potential to be a lot more.

    NASCAR '08 is not a bad game in any sense of the term, but neither is it fantastic. If you're a racing fan or a NASCAR fan there's stuff to like here and even if you don't care for NASCAR itself it's still a competent ride.

    Finally the game requires skill to compete. Finally EA makes a realistic NASCAR game.

    Not a Nascar fan, but I am a racing fan. Good Gameplay, reasonable graphics, pretty fun. I can't wait to get to a roadcourse in career. Not as fun as DiRT, IMO, but much much deeper.… Expand

    A rehash of the rehash that was 07. The actual racing is not bad, it is the utter lack of detail that kills this series. No career mode at all. The graphics are horribly dated. The car designer has not been touched in 4 years. As the first true next-gen port of Nascar this was even moreof a disappointment than last year,… Expand
