Pretty easy :)

Depends on how they matured from AMA SBK.
Depends if it has TCP/IP racing, but that's a buy for sure.
Only if it integrates F1 2001, since GPWorld probably is better from all the
experience the team has.
Yawn repackaged title
I'll already have the Euro version ;)
No interest in two Stockcar titles, especially since N4 ports the new
Papyrus game engine.
? Probably MMM + MXM2 ?
No pre-release information = bad news

Too early to judge, potentially "ok".
I bet 1$ it's an arcade game
Depends if the physics are better than in SODA
No interest, the Rally market is clustered.
No interest since it's an arcade game.
No interest, I never liked the game engine.
I don't like the direction they went with SBK2k
Arcade-based physics.  Stick to the PSX2 I say to them.
Same old game engine, why care when we have GP3?
Isn't that Breakneck 2 ?
MMMMMMMMM GPL game engine ported in a new title
Arcade-based I guess.
Wasn't it renamed something like "Fox's Worst Police chases"?
Probably close to the old arcade game in terms of gameplay.

Holding that back a bit, aren't they? It's already on "de facto
budget" over here (which is to say, it's dreadful, and EB are trying
to get rid of it).

You may want to re-think this decision.  Heat ports a refined Viper (MGI)
game engine re-designed specifically for Nascar cars.  I think we'll all be
very pleasantly surprised by Nascar Heat.  Two top-notch Nascar games will
only make our sim racing experiences better as the developers continue to
"push the envelope" in future releases.

Oh yeah.......I just cant wait to see what the "Beat the Heat" option is in
Nascar Heat.....sounds like an option that is been missing from a true
racing sim!.......Beat the heat....rofl
Call me a papy nazi if you will, but Viper engine dont hold a candle to the
GPL engine.

Well, what can I say John... you're a Papy Nazi. ;-)

Just because Heat will have some "other" modes (which you don't HAVE to
use), doesn't mean it's sim (expert) mode won't be good.  If anyone can pull
off a racing game/sim that will appeal to the arcade racer, the casual
Nascar fan looking to get into racing games/sims, and the *** sim racer,
it's MGI/Hasbro.  There are enough former Papy employees behind Heat's
development that your "Papy Nazi" status may actually require you to try it
before completely trashing it's credibility as a sim... ;-)

No... it's aimed at Arcade players AND Sim players.

Please read Jeff Downey's interactive preview of Nascar Heat at

http://www.operationsports.com/ReviewVault/reviews.asp?game=NASCARHeatpc

Jeff's Day 2 notes give a good indication as to what he thought Heat would
be like, and how much it surprised him as to how good it really is.
