NASCAR is a funny thing. It may be the realm of some of motorsports greatest heroes to some, and a simplified, watered-down version of racing to others. While that is a matter of personal preference, the events and tracks that the sport has made famous over the years are more present in modern culture than any of us realize.
NASCAR The Game 2011 knows it, and are convinced that deep down inside every racing fan, there lies a single desire. The latest trailer for the game gives a bit more of a look at the actual gameplay, and how this game may be a dream come true to more than a few.
Whether you’re a rabid fan, casual spectator, or complete bystander, the sport’s greatest champions have become household names. Jeff Gordon. Dale Earnhardt. Richard Petty. For even the most casual fans of North American racing, these legends of NASCAR are men who demand respect, if nothing else.
But even more famous than the drivers and pit crews who have made their mark on the oval ring are the tracks themselves. Daytona,Indianapolis, Talladega - giving players a chance to forge their own path to the top of the podium is compelling stuff, but Eutechnyx has to do little more than flaunt these names in front of their audience to gain interest.
Think about it: Gran Turismo, Shift 2 Unleashed, and Forza Motorsport 4 may let you feel what it’s like behind the wheel of a supercar. But only one game this year is dedicated entirely to letting players know what it feels like to win the Indy 500, the Daytona 500, or any of the races that most people learn simply by word of mouth.
Take a look at the latest trailer for the game, and see if the call of these famous racetracks is enough to peak your interest:
