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

by hlbirk , Jan 04 '01
Pros: Graphics!
Cons: Gotta work on eye-hand coordination!
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...

A little loose in turn one

by sportster , Dec 02 '00
Pros: Graphics, Improved AI
Cons: Offers less than PSX version
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...

Same Old Game, New Year - Updated and Downrated

by Yarborough , Nov 27 '00
Pros: Nicely upgraded graphics, fierce competition, interesting spin outs.
Cons: Limited controller configurations, no steering wheel interface for PS1 wheels, needs better off-track graphics.
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...

A Flawed masterpiece of a racing game

by lynchman , Aug 15 '01
Pros: Decent graphics and highly addicting gameplay
Cons: frequent graphic choppiness, 20 cars at a time
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:

Where's my Madden commentary?

by molydeus , Dec 08 '00
Pros: It's fun to crash other people
Cons: No replay value, slow down on the game engine
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...

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

by onetuffcowboy , Jan 23 '01
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
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...

If you love Nascar, buy it.

by Filazafer , Nov 30 '00
Pros: All the drivers, good graphics
Cons: Mostly for Nascar fans only
I, however, don't love Nascar and got a bit bored with this game. It is very fun with two people, not so fun with one. The graphics are good, but I think they could have been better with the PS2 capabilities. I didn't even try to play the...

Going in circles - BACKWARDS?

by zerojatrix , May 17 '01
Pros: The wrecks, the Wrecks, the WRECKS!
Cons: Graphics are horrid! Going around in circles gets OLD!!!
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...

One of the worst racing simulations I've ever seen

by skategoat7 , Dec 22 '00
Pros: Not applicable
Cons: Lousy graphics and car control
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...

Hard Core Race Fans Line Up!!

by BigDaddyG , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Breathtaking graphics
Cons: Boring except to the hardcore race fan
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...

NASCAR 2k1

by CyDuke , May 22 '01
Pros: Easy to Learn.
Cons: Not very in-depth. Same AI's win
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....

Nascar Fancy

by mattg95 , Mar 14 '01
Pros: The car physics and sound
Cons: Will not let you race full racket on 2 player mode.
Well I tell you what I will be the first to tell you that I am not a nascar fan and never have been but this game could just about convert you if your on the edge of being one. I never thought once in my life that I would even ever own a nascar game...
