My lady FORCED me to go to TJ Max the other day to do some
shopping....ughhh!!!!
But as I was about to head to the underpants section, there was a large table
with software...$19.95 a piece! Two of them that caught my eye, which were
NHRA and ABC/Disney's Raod to Indy. Which one would you have picked? I was
leaning towards NHRA when I go back. I heard that it was not that realistic
when compared to Burnout, but the graphics and sound is better.

I would have picked NHRA, and given that I have both of these, I would have
probably been happiest with that choice.
NHRA is just as realistic as Burnout, but it is about 80% less complete.
Burnout really has as much to do with building motors as racing the cars.
It is also geared towards bracket raing. They include rail dragsters and
funny cars amongst the chassis you can start with, but don't let you
supercharge the motors. If you control yourself, you can build a realistic
motor, but if you want, you can build absurd motors that don't exist. The
vehicles are pretty dopey looking, also.
NHRA simulates Top Fuel and Funny Cars, THAT'S IT. The sound is great (if
you turn it up) and the cars look awesome, though I don't know anyone who
can get the highest level of graphics to work right (including my 8 meg AGP
on a P2/450). It is kind of a 'one trick pony', but it is a lot of fun,
definately worth 20$. The only real annoyance for me is that it won't let
me use my pedals (or any other joystick axis) as the throttle and brake.
You have to use buttons, which is annoying. It is also pretty hard to
backpedal and get the tires to hook up when your throttle is an on/off
switch.
ABC/Disney Road to Indy is junk. It has Sprint cars, midgets and Silver
Crown cars, which are amusing,but the physics aren't good enough to really
enjoy them. The INdycar part of it is a joke. The graphics are ok, but
nothing special and the car control is horrendous. It's main purpose seems
to be all the FMV available in 'control central'.
But hey, why not get both, they are only 20$ each...

I know, this is late...
Road to Indy SUCKS!. The driving model is unrealistic(car snap spins with no
warning). The sound effect are VERY cheesy. I'm sorry I ever BOUGHT the darn
thing...
YMMV :)
