Generally favorable reviews - based on 17 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The makers of Madden NFL hit the track with NASCAR Thunder™ 2002. Take on more than 50 NASCAR superstars on 23 Winston Cup Series tracks, with shockingly realistic damage effects, a complete "rookie-to-champion" career mode, and pit four gamers head-to-head on a single Xbox! It's NASCAR the way it was meant to be, from EA Sports. Expand

  1. On both the Xbox and PlayStation 2, EA Sports has brought the Thunder with authority as far as this race fan is concerned. I've played both versions and the Xbox version is the better of the two.
  2. Thunder absolutely screams on the Xbox with very short loading times and beautifully rendered environments. [Dec 2001, p.108]
  3. The career mode is very well implemented, and is something that should be found in more games like this.
