Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition News Post


Gaming Age has posted their Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition preview.

Quote:
"Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition gives players the opportunity to go head-to-head against select NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, including champions such as Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Tony Stewart, and the drivers from the iconic "Days of Thunder" film from Paramount Pictures. Featuring multiple single-player and online multiplayer modes, gamers will take the wheel as one of the hottest drivers on the circuit to prove that "you can't stop the thunder!"

In Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition, players will join Rowdy Burns' team as the latest rookie to tear up the NASCAR circuit. With Rowdy as their coach, players will learn to hit the pit, upgrade their ride and trade paint with other cars. They can even "drop the hammer" like Cole Trickle for a boost of extra speed. Rowdy Burns will be voiced by the actor from the film, Michael Rooker, also known for his roles in "Mallrats," "Eight Men Out" and "Cliffhanger." Days of Thunder: NASCAR Edition comes equipped with twelve NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, including Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway."

Just downloaded the demo on XBLA. WOW! LMAO, quite possibly the worst racing game I've ever played. Not to mention it looks like a PS1 game.

You guys are right... this game is absolutely dreadful! Seriously, Avatar Karting looks like a sim compared to this fiasco!

I personally love it, bought it last night, 8 races into career and I'm undefeated, I love the fact that its not a sim, it's an arcade.

It seems to me like they were trying to make a modern-day Daytona USA with NASCAR in it.

Problem is, it's very mediocre.

I bought the PSN version and downloaded the XBLA trial. I must say, the 360 version has a bit better graphics than the PS3 version. Also, even in the trial for the 360 edition I thought the AI was a bit more aggressive than what I've played with on the PS3 edition.

I think there's an audience for this game, especially if you're a fan of some of the older stock car arcade games (NASCAR Rumble or the aforementioned Daytona USA). Otherwise, this might not be up your alley.
