NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup

THE GOOD:
Excellent game. Way better than last years version. Graphics are awesome. More realistic look at racing.

SUMMARY:
Awesome. Just awesome. If you are a Nascar fan this is a must. If you are not a Nascar fan you soon will be. This is the best racing game ever made. It has all the excitement of Grand Theft Auto with all the sport side of racing. From the superb graphics to the great story line. I have completed the first season and actually won quite a few events in the Featherlight, Truck and Busch serises. The game play is very much racing. Every racing fan should buy this game. If you are wondewring if it is worth it this is the best game I have bought in a long time. This game ranks up there with ESPN 2K5 as far worth the money. It is easy to play and very enjoyable. I can see me playing this for a long time.

THE GOOD:
yearly drivers update, 4 new series,intimidate mode

THE BAD:
NO FREAKING COCKPIT VIEW, victory lane celibration has been toned down,the 19 and the martin turex are not in the game,there is no victoy lane for the nns,ncs, and modifid series

SUMMARY:
I was really looking fowared to this game. I own 2003 and 2004 and loved them and figured I would love this more.WRONG. I would much rather have 2004 anyday. ea sports needs to take there time and get the game right

THE GOOD:
Harvick(my favorite driver) on the cover, 3 new series and production cars,2 different voices for crew chief and spotter,good selection of music,Fight to the Top mode,the new points system and faster pit crew

THE BAD:
No passing indicators,no leaderboard crossing the finish line,no race status on pause menu,no top 5 shown on pause menu,no pre-race comments about track or drivers and car line-ups,no cockpit view,no Jeremey Mayfield,or Ken(#49 Schwan's dodge), and the no racing back to the caution feature

SUMMARY:
Alrite....the things they have taken away are the passing indicators which I depened heavly on,the leaderboard when you crossed the finish line,another thing I depended on,when you pause the race,no more race status,no more showing the top 5 cars,opening scene to the race where they talk about a driver and the N.A plays followed by jets or fireworks(day or night races,you know the deal) is taken out...umm cockpit view is out...

THE GOOD:
Intimidator Button, Story Mode, Speedzone,Create a Driver and much much more

THE BAD:
Street racing

SUMMARY:
This game will be much better than the last 2 NASCAR games. I am not fond of the street racing thing.Heei said they were trying to focus the game on real NASCAR life in story mode but real NASCAR stars don't street race and well that just dosen't make sense to put that into the game. Some of the gamers will like it but some of them won't so some may choose to be good so they don't have to street race but some will become a NASCAR villan so they get to street race after every race. I think that the create a driver thing will be big cauze some people might not the colour of the suit with the car. I hope you can paint your own pitbox too.
The autograugh game will be pretty cool but I'll sign them but I know some people won't cauze their evil
