The fringe rough road in the racing game genre

Nascar 09 is an exceptional game that will probably eke out his existence for all eternity in the shade all other racing games. For 99 percent of all racing game addict, I would probably not even be able cite a reason here why he should buy these titles initially estimated. More than 30 race tracks, which has only one more than two curves and the graphically hardly differ from each other. And if we are talking about the image of: More than good PS2 average is a not offered here. Pretty forests, idyllic lakes, or even a night-lit city in vain. It is solely on giant ovals and the road except a Pixelpuplikum right and left the pit lane there is little to see. I do not know what makes the charm of the Games, why it fascinates me so. I am Formula 1 fan, love Need For Speed ​​or Gran Turismo, all of which have to offer more variety and depth. But now to Nascar 09:
In addition to the career mode in which you can play through a full season, including practice, qualifying and the race, there is the challenge mode, more than 70 different tests are waiting in the on, which are very similar to the license driving a Gran Turismos. Only one drives here to performance points that serve to spice up his car.
Ever one may screw a lot of his cart, adjust and visually change. And one has to also. For each route calls in Professional mode its own setup to be able to win. At least tinkerers should get to Nascar 09 rudimentary at their expense.
The difficulty ranges from grandparents friendly to challenging, but can be adapted at any time, even during the season, to the smallest detail. Here I forgive thick pluses. I hate games that not everyone can cope and eventually be frustig.
The sound is massive. You put somewhere in the middle of the driver, it roars forth from anywhere and you feel part of the action. Also, at least the car can convince graphically.
The races make up, even if you drive in circles, as demanding. Small errors cause collisions, in which one is not rare even involved and lose places. Here Nascar shows then also its full charm, namely shake up the field from behind. And here is also the go is not always easy in a circle and is boring.
I'd like some complain: The whole game is in English without subtitles. That looks very authentic on one side, on the other hand does not speak any language they as good as he can now make full use of all the tips and setup options.
Nevertheless, there remains finally to say, the Nascar 09 outstanding I like, but I no one can really emphehlen because it's just too special. And even if one likes to watch the race on TV, it does not automatically mean that it has to make a fun, they reenact itself. For a marginal group game Nascar 09 is programmed but more than good, and that it responds only a fringe group, you realize if you suddenly want to drive online against other players, but far and wide no opponent can be found.
I'm first delighted, but warn against a blind buy !!!
