N2000 is so much better than n3
N3 is not a sim, it is a crappy arcade game. N2000 has most real life physics
modeled, along with a spetacular EA Sports intro.

All in all, N2000 feels like a move towards the Viper Racing end of the
spectrum, but the steering seems a bit numb and the car seems somewhat
unresponsive, with a tendency to drift a bit (which is probably
accurate for a bit, tank-like NASCAR vehicle).  I haven't touched any
of the chassis settings in any of the recent NASCAR sims on my hard
drive, so keep in mind that all of my impressions are based on the
default chassis settings -- things might improve all around with better
setups.

Why not download the N2000 demo if you haven't already done so, and
compare the demo track to the same track in N3, then form your own
opinions?

I thought N2000 was meant to be very arcadey (is that a word? :))

There is a big list of racing simulations better than N2000 (it's pretty
poor I would say to simulate real-life WinstonCup Racing).  Grand Prix
Legends is the best sim on the market at the moment (and by a large margin),
but in the next year we are awaiting 3 major racing simulation titles :
Nascar Racing 4 (using the new game engine by Papyrus), World Sports Cars
and Grand Prix 3.  There is other sims on the market that are better also,
but not as good as GPL in terms of realism of car handling.  Dirt Track
Racing is pretty fun if you like this type of racing, and for F1 games well
mmm.. there ain't a good one yet but F1 2000 is the best of the worst.
Viper Racing is very good, while Need For Speed : Porsche Unleashed is very
good also!

Nascar Racing 4 is subject to release pretty soon, near October iirc.  So if
you can wait, don't waste your precious time on N2000.

I'm not flaming, I'm just saying, be careful, as no one cal tell your
sarcasm, without note of it.

as for N2000, read the review in this months PCGamer, I think it's very
honest, and I'm glad Andy Mahood has finally brought some sim racing
credibility to that magazine.

-<+>-Thanks for all the great opinions.  I'll definitely have to try the
-<+>-demo (DUH!). I guess I should have thought of that before. Are these
-<+>-two sims the best or is there any one thats better like F1 or Dirt
-<+>-Track Racing?

Now you have opened up the can of worms.  You are gonna get the standard canned answer in this
NG.... In unison everyone... "GPL"  

Everyone has an opinion, mine on this GPL, it is barely drivable, and that really takes a lot of the
fun out of it.  As for your origional question... If you are looking for eye candy (ie graphics)
stay with NASCAR2000... If you want more fun on-line racing, go with Nascar 3.

Thanks,
