Description of NASCAR Racing: 2002 Season

NASCAR Racing 2002 comes with all the extras fans expect. Just about all the drivers are here, including Jeff Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart, and Dale Jarrett. Their cars are re-created down to the tiny details. And you'll find every NASCAR speedway is present and accounted for. There are 24 tracks total, and this is a bump up of three tracks from 2001.

The graphics are picture perfect and state-of-the-art. The high system requirements (it requires a 16 MB video card) ensure that even with the details turned way down you'll get to see all the cars on the track. Crashes are best avoided, of course, but when they do happen they're spectacular. Smoke, fire, and car pieces rain all around the pileup.

New driver aids are present, including automatic breaking, and a "best path" line to show how to approach the curves. The aids make it easy for new players to get around the track in one piece, while veterans will find some challenging racing ahead with all the aids turned off and the physics set to realistic levels. They say NASCAR is the everyman sport; maybe that's true. NASCAR Racing 2002 Season is certainly a testament to that. --Bob Andrews
