Video Game Reviews of NASCAR Thunder 2004

Customer Review: No, really. It sucks.
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm not running a slow computer and it still doesn't compare to NASCAR Racing 2003 Season from Vivendi/Sierra/Papyrus. The graphics are comparable to the Atari racing games I used to play, and not even up to the Indy Car Racing from some years back (also from Papyrus). In short, the graphics are horrid, the vehicle response is terrible. I ran the demo and found the car extremely hard to control. And the demo is Talladega - my track!

One plus is that the rear view mirror is much clearer than in the Papyrus game.

I'm going back to NASCAR Racing 2003 Season.

Customer Review: What's the problem?
Summary: 4 Stars

I've read a lot of reviews bad mouthing this game. All I have to say is: Read the manufacturer's specs and don't try running it on an old slow computer. Make sure you have a decent graphics adapter and plenty of RAM. The on-line gaming is great, even using a 56k modem. Half the fun is tweaking your car setups and testing the results on the track. If you love racing (and aren't afraid to put a little effort into learning) this game is a winner.

Customer Review: This game sucks
Summary: 1 Stars

If you are looking for a realistic Nascar sim, then do not buy this game, or any other Nascar game from EA Sports for that matter.The graphics on this game are good, but the whole thing is just so unrealistic. If you want a true Nascar sim any of the Nascar games from Papyrus is your best bet, i highly recommend Nascar racing 4.

Customer Review: stupid
Summary: 2 Stars

It is too unrealistic. You feel like quiting on the first lap it is so boring the cars are slow and have bad handling. the graphics are choppy and pausey. This game is for fools. If you want a good racing game expeirience get NFS4 or NR2003 Season instead of this game. Their is only 1 thing good about it. it is cool to wreck that slow, poorly designed car.
