Reveiw Of the Month-- NASCAR 2005

Each month, I issue out My Picks at the begining. Latter on, these are revewied the day or so they come out, and a scroe lists is given... so cheeck here for all the info you want.

TeamXbox Score: 8.7
IGN.com Score: 9.2
Gamespot Score: Not Yet Reveiwd

Graphics
-Powerful, staduims are nicly built
- Crowds are still blah-ish

Controls
-Worst part of the game
-Slugish, not responsive
-Not custumizable

Sound
+Nice, full and in red neck glory
- No custum soudtrack support

Gameplay
+ Deep, deep, deep
+ Nice system of progress
- Borging after the 300th lap
- Only for the hardcore, since, yes, you will have to make 1000 left turns to progress

Live
+First NASCAR title
+ May have some cool EA features (compitions)
- Not sure how well the bugs (yes, there are a lot of bugs right now) will be fixed
- Only 4 players (human)
-Its still 1000 left turns
- Its still EA

Overall
This is a good attempt, and its easily the best in the series. But with games like Fable, Doom 3, BattelFront and Halo2 to save your money for, thisn is just a waste unless your hardcroe.

Verdict
8.5 Out of 10
