NASCAR Thunder 2002

NASCAR Thunder 2002 is yet another racing game created Electronic Arts, in which we have the opportunity to sit at the helm of one of several dozen of title cars. Noteworthy is also the full license of this organization, including the names and images of drivers, or the presence of real race tracks, on which the competition is held. In many ways, this title was a competitor for Atari's NASCAR Heat. The game was released on PS2 and Xbox and present a very similar level of execution. The version for Microsofts's console looks slightly better, thanks to better use of antialiasing.

Depending on the player's preferences, the game can offer both a simple arcade racing game (with numerous options aids), as well as a relatively demanding simulator. In the latter case, the player must not only take care of the car, but also skillfully drive in subsequent races, avoiding any collisions with other drivers.

The range of prepared game modes is exceptionally extensive. NASCAR Thunder 2002 includes a full-fledged championship mode in which we take part in several dozen races, which make up an entire season. What is interesting, this is not the end of the game's offer, as it also has a well-developed career mode. In this case we can try to create our own racer and vehicle. An important role is played by gaining additional sponsors, thanks to which research can be undertaken in order to improve the selected parameters of our machine.

NASCAR Thunder 2002 also contains a simple extensive multiplayer mode. Both platform editions allow up to four players to have fun at the same time (Multi-Tap is used for PS2). The visuals of the game stand at a fairly high level. Noteworthy is the ability to display even several dozen cars at the same time, while maintaining smooth gameplay.
