Rating: - It's a blue disk game
For anyone who doesn't know, blue disk would not work on the original PS2s unless you sent for the upgrade kit for your PS2. Later machines were upgraded in the factory to play the blue disk. So if you have any original PS2 that wasn't upgraded you're out for use of blue disk games.
Rating: - This drag racing game sucks
I'm going to say please don't waste your money on this game, it's bad. I love drag racing but this is just pathetic. The game is cheesy and let me say this. If you know nothing about car parts don't play because it's the complicated. I have to install every part. You can play using the selected cars but it's just not fun to play. And it's hard to figure out the controls. I have a headache now.
Rating: - you better like tuning
well i personally love the game. but thats cuz i like to spend an hour setting up a 9,999hp car just to see it it'll break into the 4s. if you want fast gameplay and great graphics, look elsewhere. if your a die-hard racing fanatic, or car tuner, this is a great game. theres a few issues:
issue:
a bye-run freezes the game
fix:
choose 2, 4, 8, or 16 racers, and there will be no bye-run.
issue:
how the F am i supposed to choose a different car that ive set up???
fix:
i have no idea. the instructions refer to menues that are not there. please email me blkmetal18@hotmail.com if you understand the difference between player and setup crap. only thing i can figure out is saving right before an event.
ok, so the game has some issues, but it doesnt take away from the fact that you can choose pretty much any engine you can think of, and do pretty much anything to it. theres also a wide range of cars, no FWD, but theres like a 41 willies, 68 nova, 72 chevelle, 98 camaro, pro-mods, dragsters etc. so i drive a cavalier z24 on the street. no cavaliers, but whats that? the 2.4l engine found in my cav?
the controls are strange, and theyll take a while to understand. also make sure you go to 'player' and turn all the display guages on. also go to race, rules and go through some. thats where you can change 1/4 to 1/8 or heads-up to bracket.
i have yet to understand whats going on in the 'weights' section.
great game, but definately not for everyone.
Rating: - Awesome Game but didn't last long
First of, I'd like to say that this game is really awesome for drag racing fans everywhere. If you are a drag racing fan, you need this game. It has pretty good graphics and racing experience in it. The only problem I came across with this game was that about two months after I got it, the game wouldn't work anymore. I don't know if it was just my game that did that, but who knows. Other than that fact, this game is good. It is kinda educational because you learn the consequenses and rewards of tinkering with your engine while drag racing. I love drag racing, so naturally I loved this game. If it were more durable I'd give it a five, but it's not durable, so it gave it a 4. I think NHRA should come out with theri own drag racing game for PS2 and X-Box, so us real NHRA Fans aren't stuck with the stupid IHRA games. Come on NHRA.
P.S. Tony Schumacher & Brandon Bernstien ROCK the world of Top Fuel!!!!!
P.S. John Force ROCKS the Funny Car World!!!!!
Rating: - This game is a gas
If you love drag racing, this game is more fun than anything I have ever seen. Can spend hours at a time on it. The programming does have a few glitches: in bracket racing while running a single event or an entire season, you can't change the dial-in time between runs (supposed to be able to, but it doesn't work). Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the instruction manual is sorely lacking. Setting up events or seasons can be cumbersome, but the smart person can find a way around that (save the setup once you have it). One other thing I would change is to have an option to eliminate the 2 practice rounds before every event, since they take much longer than the actual races. However, in spite of the glitches (what can you expect ...?), once you are set up to race, it is FUN. Despite what some reviewers have said, it IS available to 2 players. My brother and I have spent literally hours and hours racing. What I really like about it is that you don't have to be a nimble-fingered, button-tapper to play it. A few logical sequences of buttons to push, and you are on your way. I don't know about the complaints about the graphics, not being a bigtime video gamer, but they are adequate for me. In summary, this is one of the least costly and most entertaining games I have ever played.
