 Perfect pair for Nascar 09 season February 16, 2009

In last few years, this is the only good kart game that is not developed by Nintendo. Perfect blend of Nascar and Kart racing. The game includes a wide set of teams and drivers. Developers have done justification for both Kart racing and Nascar. Just only one oval track, rest of them are kart styled ones. The game from out side may look like a poor mans Mario Kart, it is not. Similar to actual Nascar bump drafting, you can get a power boost by following another car closely.
You will get very good mileage too. There is 12 tracks, all bi-directional. All of them are well suited for multi-player modes. It includes a wide assortment of multi-player modes too. The controls are perfect, I am very amazed by the accuracy. You can use your wheel or just regular controller set to play the game. Graphics are in par with Mario Kart. This is better than all the other nascar games that EA has published, a welcome change.
Good Price, Good Fun February 16, 2009

I enjoyed this game a lot. It's a real solid racer. It borrows a lot from Mario Kart, but if you're going to mimic someone, then you should mimic the best. NASCAR Kart Racing has a lot of NASCAR personality. I played this game with my family all weekend and we had a really good time. The controls felt really good to me too. Good job EA.
Better than Mario Kart February 23, 2009

I don't really like nascar and didn't expect to like this game, but I think it's awesome. The controls are nice and it's a lot of fun! I love having a partner in the races and being able to get boosts from them. The items are neat, too. I had more fun playing this game than mario kart because I didn't feel like the computer was going to be on my bumper regardless of what I do to them. It actual feels like you're playing with other players when you're playing against the computer.
very fun March 1, 2009

This game is fun ... really, really fun. I actually enjoy it slightly more than Mario Kart Wii. That may sound blasphemous to some, but the AI in Mario Kart Wii can be controller-throwingly cheap and frustrating. With NASCAR Kart Racing, the AI seems much fairer, while still providing a fun challenge. As another reviewer said, playing against the AI feels like playing with other people.
NASCAR Kart Racing features teammate gameplay, where you work with a computer-controlled teammate to build boost and perform a slingshot maneuver. This is a simplified, arcade version of the drafting that happens in real-world NASCAR races, and it adds a nice NASCAR flair while helping differentiate the game from Mario Kart.
The game controls very well, whether with the Wii Wheel, Wii Remote with Nunchuck, or GameCube controller. (It also supports the classic controller, but I haven't tried it.) The tracks are also well designed, with jumps, shortcuts, and a few other surprises (such as falling rocks that you have to dodge). Oh yeah, and right turns. Lots of right turns.
This is also a great game to play with friends and family. Split-screen multiplayer is a trash-talking, rocket-throwing, rollicking good time.
Love it!! February 16, 2009

I play it everyday. This is one of my Nascar games for Wii. When I came home from school I played it all day, because it is one of my favorite games. M&M is my favoite characters because his car is cool.
