Nascar Revolution - Mini-Review - Buyer beware!!!

5 posts by 4 people · 20 Feb 1999 - 24 Feb 1999

I had no problem turning off the sound. Click on the little speaker to the left of the slider and an X will be shown over it ... voila - no music. Similar tactics silenced the annoying announcers. I hate to say it, but judging from the best seller lists on consoles, EA has got to be pretty happy with the performance of the NASCAR games -- even though I review them as the overall disappointments they have been, people still buy them. What can you say? Slap a NASCAR sticker on something and you can move it off the shelf... Randy Randy Magruder [link lost in import]

I didn't think you could disable the announcers without also turning off the spotter.

<snipped review of game> I am a hur nascar fan, and I will not be buying this game based on some of these reviews here. EA has always done a***poor job on playstation with their nascar games, so i guess the pc should be no different. I have been into knocked into the infield at 'dega, pissed around for 15 seconds before getting going again, and then caught and passed the entire field in no time at all, which is of couse IMPOSSIBLE. BOttom line EA couldn't make a racing sim save their lives. Thay must have paid Dale Earnhardt a fortune for all the great reviews he's been giving this game. -- Go #24, #1, #33, #55, #7, #4, #66, and ROTY #20

I don't know if this is any better in the release version, but the #1 thing that bugs me in the Demo is the detached feeling you get from the steering. Reminds me of those house-sized Chryslers of the 60's. You could turn the steering wheel with the tip of a feather. -Larry (Who actually likes those old house-sized Chryslers of the 60's) :)
