Video Game Reviews of NASCAR 99

Customer Review: NASCAR 99
Summary: 3 Stars

Nascar 99 is a cool game, but I wish it was more like NASCAR. The driving part is like NASCAR but the wrecks aren't is cool as real NASCAR's. The cautions on the game start before going all the way around to the start/finish line. Earlier today I played this game(damage was on), there was a caution(the game control's the player during caution), and Jeff Burton was running back and forth in to the wall, the game controled me right into Burton. The next thing I knew I was OUT. Besides that the game is awesome!

Description of NASCAR 99

Although it's geared for NASCAR fans, this title is actually a decent racing game on its own. Featuring 37 NASCAR drivers and 17 licensed tracks, as well as "live" commentary by auto-racing announcers Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons, there's plenty of EA Sports' trademark authenticity. The cars are literally electronic replicas of the cars driven during the 1998 NASCAR season, rendered right down to the last decal.

Although they take a little getting used to, the controls are solid, and the "wheel-to-wheel" racing experience is definitely enhanced by a rumble pack. While it's a shame that NASCAR 99's graphics are a bit flat, the excellent collision and damage effects easily make up for this. Smashing up opponents has never been so much fun in a "serious" racing game.

While hard-core racing gamers will be disappointed in the limited number of car modifications that can be made, the game's "NASCAR Options" can be changed to make things more real or less real. Not so accommodating to non-NASCAR fans is the selection of tracks, which, for the most part, are oval-shaped. Which means a heck of a lot of left turns. --Joe Hon

Pros:

  • Solid controls
  • Excellent collision and damage effects
  • Gameplay can be modified to be more real or less real
Cons:
  • Below-average graphics
  • Little variety in tracks, which tend to be oval-shaped
  • Limited number of computer opponents in 2-player mode
