Nascar Racing 4 for Windows

Pros: Most realistic NASCAR simulation out there.
Cons: You'll need a good system and at least a game pad, preferably a wheel.

Sierra's NASCAR Racing series has long been a sim fan's dream. Easily the most accurate representation of the sport, it has always featured strong graphics, realistic physics, decent sound effects, and a garage that would even keep...

Pros: Graphics, sound, options
Cons: control, system requirements

NASCAR Racing 4 is the latest combatant on the NASCAR gaming circuit, and it is one of the best.

The biggest difference in the latest version is an improvement in graphics and sound. They are simply amazing. I put in Racing 3 after playing...

Pros: Stunningly realistic graphics and gameplay, many subtleties in car setups
Cons: Tough learning curve, system tweaks/upgrades needed if you have a slower PC

Let me first say that I love NASCAR and have always wanted to be able to drive a real stockcar. Since Papyrus released the first version of NASCAR Racing, I have owned the various incarnations of this game and have loved every innovation each generation...

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Great Sounds, Most Realistic Game Available
Cons: Need a Big System To Run

Though I am not really a fan of NASCAR, I bought this game because I was looking for a good realistic racing sim to play online. The game has amazing graphics, it almost is as good a watching a race on TV, and the sound really adds to it, it sounds...

Pros: Excellent graphics, state-of-the-art multiplayer arena
Cons: need great pc, lag online

I've been a long-time player of the ea sports nascar games for playstation...as i currently own nascar 98, 99, 2000, and 2001, and let me tell you, after playing Nascar 4 for the pc, i dont care if i never play the other games again:-)

THE CPU...

Pros: Excellent graphics, fun gameplay, complex physics model
Cons: VERY complex, intimidating to newbies, runs very slow on less than top end systems

NASCAR Racing has always been the one area where Sierra has not managed to COMPLETELY screw over a game (1030A.D. anyone? Didn't think so.) I have had bad experiences with Sierra since they decided it would be "cool" to release Frontpage Sports...

Pros: Completely revamped physics model Excellent graphics Wonderful online community
Cons: Requires a topnotch computer for best visuals

At last, the prayers of NASCAR Racing 3 fans have been answered. Its sequel, NASCAR Racing 4, comes with the outstanding physics model hard-core NASCAR fans have been clamoring for, along with all 21 tracks from the 2000 Winston Cup season and cars from...

Pros: 43 Drivers on the track, Every track, Online Play, Solid graphics
Cons: AI can be frustrating and not act correctly in single player

How would you like to get behind the wheel of your favorite NASCAR and race at the Daytona 500? Well you are in luck, because in NASCAR Racing 4 you get to do just that, and much more.
In NASCAR Racing 4 you get to race in a 43-car pack at all the...

Pros: Best Sim by Papy to date. Most realistic driving game out there.
Cons: AI in single player is terrible.

NASCAR Racing 4 is the most anticipated racing sim from Papyrus ever and it was well worth the wait. Unless of course you only plan to play single player.

The multiplayer option in the game is the best ever. There is no lag or warping unless...

Pros: Great graphics, 43 player multiplayer, free net play
Cons: Need Fast system to play. Server admins are just as immature as many drivers.

How could this be better than Nascar on tv you ask? Well Nascar on tv isn't all that great anymore and I find that I am looking forward to wrecks. If wrecks are what you want to see, you have come to the right place. While you can play against the...

Pros: For realistic sounds and graphics, NASCAR Racing 4 will test your skill. You'll love it.
Cons: My only con is that the game does not have enough race tracks.

This is my first rating of software in this forum, so, here goes. Of all the auto racing software I own, this one, to me, rates the best as far as graphics, sound, controls, and custom tuning of the race car to the track. Now, I don't use the wheel with ...

Pros: There are none.
Cons: Doesn't run on low end systems.

The Nascar 4 game from Papyrus is not set-up to run on a low end system like the other Papyrus Nascar games.
Simply because of earlier systems had graphic cards with 8 megs. Well, Nascar 4 requires (minimum) 12 megs. It does not clearly state this...

Pros: Realistic Graphics, Many Tracks, Instant Replay, Best NASCAR Sim Available
Cons: Sound

If you choose to purchase this game, I highly recommend buying a PC steering wheel along with it. The graphics for the game are very well done, from a glance you might mistake it for a video clip from an actual race. I was disappointed with the sound...

Pros: Great Multiplayer, Awesome Graphics
Cons: Need a newer system to run it.

This game is great in Multiplayer racing. But if you don't have the capibilities to race online, don't buy this game. The AI is absolutely terrible, unraceable at some tracks. Of course if you like 30 cautions in a 50 lap race then the game is fine...

Pros: Got it for a good price..
Cons: NOT cheap enough though

After waiting so long for NASCAR 4 to come out I suspect my expectations were very high. After all, NASCAR 3 was so good I assumed the new game would be a step up, just as NASCAR 2 was to NASCAR 1. Nope, forget about it! Back to square one, I'll need to...
