It's A Good Thing This Isn't My Real Job!

Pros Graphics!
Cons Gotta work on eye-hand coordination!
Recommended it? Yes

I must begin by saying that I am by no means an expert when it comes to this kind of mayhem! My husband works security at a store that sells PlayStation 2 equipment and he had a brain fart, thus the reason we even own one.

After the PS2 sat in it's box for a month and a half we decided it... Read full review »

A little loose in turn one

bysportster Dec 2, 2000
28 Helpfuls 29 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Graphics, Improved AI
Cons Offers less than PSX version
Recommended it? Yes

Having played this series every year since 1998, I couldn't wait to see the green flag drop for the PS2 version of this game. After all, NASCAR 2001(PSX)was easily the best of the series. I figured the next-generation system's version would be even better. Well, let's go to the track and find... Read full review »

Same Old Game, New Year - Updated and Downrated

byYarborough Nov 27, 2000

Pros Nicely upgraded graphics, fierce competition, interesting spin outs.
Cons Limited controller configurations, no steering wheel interface for PS1 wheels, needs...
Recommended it? No

With the release of "Nascar Heat 2002" there is really no reason to either buy or rent "Nascar 2001". Heat is graphically superior with road textures that even beat out Gran Turismo 3, although GT3 still takes the award for best looking cars. Heat adds about 36 "Beat the Heat" challenges that are...

Pros It's fun to crash other people
Cons No replay value, slow down on the game engine
Recommended it? No

Let my start off by saying how glad I am that I rented this game and didn't purchase it. After playing for about 2 hours I was done with it.

Gameplay

There are several modes of gameplay, including, a two player mode, a career mode, and a single race mode.

In the career... Read full review »

A Flawed masterpiece of a racing game

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Decent graphics and highly addicting gameplay
Cons frequent graphic choppiness, 20 cars at a time
Recommended it? Yes

It'll be interesting to see if EA incorporates any of these suggestions into the new 2002 version of Nascar. 2001 is a solid game, and really the only game I ever play, but I cant help wishing for more. Here's an expanded "Pros and cons" section:

Pros:

1.) Great graphics. The... Read full review »

Going in circles - BACKWARDS?

Pros The wrecks, the Wrecks, the WRECKS!
Cons Graphics are horrid! Going around in circles gets OLD!!!
Recommended it? Yes

First - I rated this a 3 and recommended it based on the ability to play demolition derby!!!

Ok, here is the low down on this game. For what the game was designed to do...it is HORRID. If you want to play it because you LIKE nascar and all that, buy a different game. However, if you want... Read full review »

Drive fast, turn left, drive fast, turn left, drive fast, crash

Pros Unparalleled NASCAR racing excitement, plethora of options, responsive controls
Cons Slowdown, weak two-player mode, may be too tedious for those not interested in NASCAR
Recommended it? Yes

NASCAR: the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, the fastest growing sport in America. The speed, the adrenaline, the drivers, the fans, the tracks, there?s nothing like it. Nothing compares to the feeling one gets when watching the closing laps of the Daytona 500 (NASCAR equivalent to... Read full review »

One of the worst racing simulations I've ever seen

byskategoat7 Dec 22, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Not applicable
Cons Lousy graphics and car control
Recommended it? No

As a big fan of EA sports titles, I was quite surprised and disappointed by Nascar 2001. This game came in a PS2 bundle that I recently purchased.

I've played many racing sims in the past and I have to rate this one as one of the worst I have ever had the misfortune of playing.

NASCAR 2k1

byCyDuke May 22, 2001
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Easy to Learn.
Cons Not very in-depth. Same AI's win
Recommended it? Yes

For someone, who has never watched a single NASCAR race, this game was easy to learn. With all the thrills, spills, and disappointments of a real Winston Cup season, this game really packs in what people need to know, and throw out what they don't. When I first got my PS2, I was skeptical about... Read full review »

Pros Breathtaking graphics
Cons Boring except to the hardcore race fan
Recommended it? No

Nascar 2001...Wow, where do I start? I could swear I was sitting ON the track when the demo first loaded up for the first time. The graphics are breathtaking. One needs to be a real hardcore race fan to enjoy this title full time, but everyone needs to at least TRY it. You have a lot of options to... Read full review »
