Hot Games
This is the best simulation of NASCAR racing yet.

IGN
The multiplayer component and hardcore difficulty settings ensure you won't be done with this one anytime soon, unless you just tire of NASCAR itself.

Despite the annoying bugs NASCAR Heat is now the new King of NASCAR racing games. Excuse me. I think I hear Lynrd Skynrds' White Knuckle Ride on my jukebox. I've got to go beat the Heat.

I just wish that the details of NH were as good as the foundational components such as the physics and graphics engines. The yellow flag bug will ruin a great offline race.

Easily the best NASCAR game available... until "NASCAR 4" comes out in February.

CNET Gamecenter
A comprehensive and versatile stock car title that should appeal to all levels of PC drivers.

Computer Games Magazine
NASCAR Heat's glaring shortcomings rip the believability out of the game after its graphics and driving suck you right in.

All Game Guide
Decent graphics and sound, and a full complement of NASCAR drivers and cars, gives the game initial appeal, but questionable gameplay ensures limited long-term usage.
