Sprint Cars 2: Showdown at Eldora (Playstation 2)

In Sprint Cars 2: Showdown at Eldora, players will slide and grind around more than 25 racing arenas, including several new tracks such as the real-world Silver Dollar Speedway and Cedar Lake. New vehicle classes - Late Model, Pro Stock and Wingless Sprints - provide players with a wide variety of options to choose from, including for the first time Tony Stewart Racing’s #15 Sprint Car as well as the #20 Sprint and #20 Late Model. Rising stars can also get behind the wheel of their favorite vehicle and go from hometown hero to national star.

Crashes and out-of-control slides also provide heart-thumping excitement with spectacular, all-new damage modeling and physics. [THQ]

Critic Reviews

66 PSX Extreme
A passable title, due entirely to the depth and relatively accurate race physics. Unfortunately, despite all the tuning and customizing you can do, the depth doesn't translate to a full-on simulation experience, especially because the physics aren't quite that realistic.
23 IGN
When 95% of the game is about as entertaining as getting blackout drunk and body surfing on gravel, it should be avoided at all costs.
