NASCAR Thunder 2002

So EA Sports? NASCAR series is now called NASCAR Thunder. Has anything else changed since last year?

EA Sports has added some Thunder to its venerable NASCAR series, resulting in the same solid racing game as last year, plus some good new mini-game challenges.

The challenges include such feats as finishing a race with no body damage or staying in first place for more than half the race. They?re challenging and add some flair to the usual qualify-race-repeat routine of career mode.

As for the racing, the controls are tight, and the car physics are realistic?oversteering at high speeds will send you flying. Besides most of the Winston Cup tracks, there are a handful of fantasy tracks?such as New York City and Treasure Island?plus the historic Daytona Beach track, complete with sand. The tracks look very good, as do the cars, but the sound consists of weak music or bland comments from your crew chief. NASCAR Thunder 2002 has all the realism most gamers will want, plus plenty of mini-games to keep you challenged.
