Okay.. now.. be honst.... among all these racing games... which one do
you racing fans think would be the best buy or the best racing game???
Personally I think that Need For Speed is the Best out of the four..
but I just got the demo for ICR2.. have to check it out later..!!!
Give your opinion .. which one do you think is the BEST!!!!!
With regard to a games success at delivering an exciting, drivable
and realistic (with a few glitches here and there) simulator, my vote
has to go to NASCAR.
I haven't spent a lot of time in ICR2 yet but I have noticed a number
of things I like there also.
Need For Speed delivered the best graphics of the lot but by far
produced the most arcade-like driving experience falling short of the
other simulators.

If you like open wheelers, then ICR2
If you like stockers, then NASCAR......
OK?

Well, if you prefer the heavier NASCAR stock car feel, and you don't mind
giving up a bit of graphic detail (because you will not be able to turn on full
detail unless you have a magic computer), then NASCAR Racing is your game.
If you prefer the better-handling INDYCAR feel, and enjoy road racing, then
ICR2 is for you. An added bonus on this game is the graphic detail. A
mid-level Pentium should have no problem with full detail on (I don't really
know about anything less than a P100, because that is the only thing I have
played the game on).
If you are a cheese-dick who is more into arcade type stuff, then NFS is for
you.

The Lord

There is really no BEST between NASCAR, ICR2 or F1GP2(whenever it is
released). All three games have their pros and cons. The only
determining factored would be your own personal preference. Most
Europeans will choose F1GP2 because that is the type of racing they
grew up watching, where as most Americans will choose either NASCAR or
ICR2 because that is what they grew up watching. They all three
are(will be) great sims in the own respect.
As for Need for Speed, well what can you say but it is just a game,
a good game but doesnt compare to the other in three in realism. To
me it is a game that will be enjoyed for a few weeks then put aside,
where as the other three will be enjoyed for a long time.
Here is something to think about: Do you know why chevy engines
arent used in F1? Answer: they are banned because they produce too
much horsepower and when put in any chassis would blow the competition
away!!!<GGGGG>
Bring on the flames!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nice.

I agree from what I've played.
Is this the arcade feel of Hard Drivin or Cruisin USA? Will somebody who
keeps calling this an arcade game please explain the difference between
it and your choice? You don't need to tell me the difference in appearance
of the cars or even the performance stats, just why one is an arcade game
and one not.
Who better to ask such an easy question, eh?

Hmmm... Ture.. Ture... but until anyone of us.. usual, normal, people
tried to drive a REAL F-1 .. then we know how real the game is... for
people who owns a Supra... like me... I know it's pretty real in the
game.. compare to the real car.. except I never try to run the car up
to 162 MPH.....!!!! So.... I can tell you that N4S can keep me
occupied for a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG time.... and for the ICR2 .. I
tried the demo.. and deleted it right after I run the first
lap....why?? well.. first of all.. the graphix for the car is good but
what about the road and other stuff?? the smoke looks fake... it's
spins A LOT... even at second gear..!!! maybe I am lack of skill but
for Gravis game pad.... I think I did a pretty good job..!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is something to think about: I don't care why they didn't put
chevy engines in F1.. they have their own reasons and I respect that
but trying to enjoy a game... don't have to know anything that's not
in the game!!!!
REGARDS........... !!

Hmm... You regularly run at 8000+ RPM?
That would explain it.

NASCAR is a very good simulator but requires a mega-machine to make it
run even acceptably - that's from experience and what I've seen here.
There, are, though, a lot of graphics options so you can always turn bits
off and it goes OK.
I've only had a go at the Demo, obviously, and am not very good at it yet
)-: Definitely feels like a racing car looks - I mean cars skidding off
all over the place because they're very sensitive machines. I have to
admit that I've had some fairly spectacular crashes just trying to get
through the pit lane. But then i remember Gerhard Berger once spinning
his car out the pit lane and into a wall a couple of years back - so
happens to the best, but is a bit embarassing on the replay!
The full game should be stunning. Grand Prix 2 is on the horizon-ish and
should be good too... perhaps the choice would come down to whether
you're a fan of Indy Car or F1?
I have the full NFS and think it's grand. I have an 8mb P5-75 (o/clocked
to 90) and it runs very well with everything on full.
There's something special about driving someone else's ferrari over the
brow of a hill, overtaking some petty BMW, only to find you've a
windscreen full of truck coming in the opposite direction. Also nice is
the way that it never seems to get scratched and there's no cost for
petrol.
It's quite arcadey, although actually simulator-like compared to the
likes of Screamer. I'm afraid to admit in public that I'm of the school
of thought that believes that you can enjoy a game that isn't a simulator
in the purists' sense, and that i find the arguments over the distinction
a bit unnecessary. Still if it keeps people happy then I suppose that's
ok. NFS does give the impression of driving a car, so fulfills that much
of the criteria for being called a simulator. You can power slide (and I
often do...) and handbrake turn/roll, as well as use the horn till your
heart's content! A lot of fun.
A 0.4 from me I fear,
Cheers,
Matt.
There's a difference between people who enjoy racing and people who like to
drive fast. Speeding is reckless and racing is not. Nascar and the other
sims in question cater to those who endeavor for skill and finesse in their
driving styles. N4S is just an unencumbered streak down the boulevard, or as
I refer to it, "a stress reliever"
