 Nascar 2005 Review December 28, 2007
This game is a huge step up from Nascar 2004. There are so many new features, and I have enjoyed playing Fight To The Top mode. I like to beat track times and earn skill points and purchase legendary drivers like Dale Earnhardt.
But although this game is pretty good, it has quite a few factors that make it less worth playing. One thing that annoys me most is the graphics. I have compared Nascar 2003 and 2005, and there is hardly any difference. When you wreck, your car always looks the same - always that huge dent on the left side of the nose of your car...tire marks on the fender...and I've also noticed in Fight to the Top, you can make allies and rivals. Well, you make someone angry and this walking EA advertisement comes barging into your garage, and no matter who they are sponsored by, there is always a huge EA Sports logo on their chest, running down their legs, arms, and on their hat. What's the deal with this? I find it distracting when there is EA Sports wherever the company can put it. They may be promoting themselves, but it takes away from the quality of the game. And then you have your cell phone. This is in EVERY SINGLE GAME EA makes. It is very irritating. I select the racing calender, and this obnoxious ringing tone beeps, and you get a message: "This is your schedule. Use it to locate different events and races." Well, no duh! I think all of us can figure out what a calender is. I am a huge Nascar fan, and I think this game overall, is just okay.

This is a pretty good racing game with unbelievable graphics. It can get a bit long at some points, but overall its a lot of fun.
 LOW is the Way to Go! July 4, 2005

Ive got to say this is the best racing game Ive ever played(yes better than need for speed and grand turismo). The racing however is not the best part of the game its the owning your own team. As of now since Ive played it non stop for the past 3 days I'm a level 3 villian(Its all about me), own both a feather weight and a bush series team and have to manage the pay checks, price merchandise and keep my standings up and have exceeded over 150,000 fans. Once you own a team you design your own color, model, sponser and the team name. If you beat the street race in the beggining you will then start your career and create someone that looks like you. Along the way you will gain rivalries-villian and alliances-hero. In a way I would comepare this to STAR WARS knights of the old republic. Im mean both games you gain enemeis and friends, you have a lightside, darkside meter, and you get better upgrades along the way. By the way if you have not played STarwars kotor i suggest you do, you will not be dissapointed. Any way back to the game. You start in the feather weight division which uses the open wheel stock cars.These are hard to control. You have to master both brakeing and acceleration if you want to win. The best way to win any race is to buy your own car and upgrade it to the max. I don't remember the price for the featherweight team but the craftman team is $750,000, National bush team is $1,000,000 and the nextal cup team is $2,000,000. Hopes this helps.
Perfect for Racing Fans! March 18, 2005

I was apprehensive about buying this game. However, I went ahead and laid down the money and have been extremely pleased with my decision. First of all, the graphics are very good and the racing can get intense. The action is fast paced and all of the tracks look as they do on TV.
One thing I love is the Nascar 2005 can be a very deep game with a lot of replay value. Of course, if you just want to race one race at a time you can do that, but if you want to start a carrier, it is very detailed and involved. You start in the Featherweight division with little money and no fans. After you start winning some races, you gain money, fans, and notoriety among the other racers. You also have an agent who will help you climb the ladder of fame. If you do well in the Featherweight, you can move up to the Truck series, the Bush series, and then on to Nascar. However, you have to wait for offers to come across from car owners in that particular division. For example, if you are doing well in the Bush series Motorola may offer you a deal to drive for them in Nascar. You can take the deal, or hold out to try and get a better offer from another sponsor. It's totally up to you. You will also be challenged to street races by some of the Nascar drivers. These are pretty cool because they allow you to race with streetcars such as the new 2005 Ford Mustang! If you win, you will gain notoriety and the drivers will respect you more on the track.
Another aspect that I love is the gas pedal. With the gas being the right top button on the XBOX controller, you can use it just like an actual pedal. You can let off a little to make it through the turns then floor it on the straightaway's. It really gives you more control of your car because you are able to make it through the turns easily, while still applying a little bit of gas. Very nice!
Also, the addition of the "share draft" and "intimidate" buttons work nicely. If you are drafting someone that is on the inside of a two car wide draft, you can press the "share draft" button and it will suck you up on the car in front of you. This allows the driver to pass cars on the outside because the more cars you have in a draft, the faster you are. As for the "intimidate" button, you can press and then literally intimidate the car in front of you. If you have the button locked in and bump draft the car you are intimidating, he will usually move out of your way. However, if you are too rough you could tick him off and cause him to come after you. Yeah, I've been wrecked a couple of times for pissing off a driver.
This game is a blast and I give it my highest recommendation!
Great game for dedicated NASCAR fans March 1, 2005

This game is for players that want a challenge (Not recomended for beginners). This game is good for NASCAR fans that under stand the season. You start out racing Ryan Newman on the streets and if you beat him you will get a race contract (Don't think you will start out in the Nextel series, but you will need to move your way up the to the Nextel series). This is FIGHT TO THE TOP mode, but that's not the only thing. You can go to race mode and do Race Now, Season, Chase For The Cup, Dodge Speed Zone, Lightning Chalange, and Race Online. In the Features mode there is What's New and Costom Car Garage. There are many other features in this game you can explore. Just a heads up it's a 1-2 player game unless online. Things to improve are when you race FETHERLIGHT and PRODUCTION there is no pitting or yellow flages. Also in FIGHT TO THE TOP once you put difficulty in and start you can't change it, but you can change how your person looks. You can save more than one game on it(X-BOX only). It could improve but it is still an awesome game.
