    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.

    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
