I really like this game better than the nascar 4. I play it with my keyboard instead of controller. Oh I am 72 and it keeps me off the streets.

I want to start off by saying I have been on iRacing for the past 5 or 6 years and am a huge fan of it. That being said, I've been waiting for a NASCAR game that gives a good offline experience. I played all the ETX games, Heat Evolution, and Heat 2. This game is overall much improved from all of those. I want to address some things that people have posted negative things about: From my experience the game runs...

I REALLY wanted to like this game. Unfortunately, is the only way to get your NASCAR fix right now without a monthly sub. after almost 100 hours i am done with this game. Want realism? Go elsewhere. Want a fun arcade game? Nope, not here either. Career mode is a great premise with the race shop and building your own team, but is quickly ruined by the actual races. -Unbelieveable trash AI at any...

So far so good. -Graphics? Pretty good, but hasn't changed much compared to Heat 2. -Handling? I use an Xbox 360 controller, the stability and handling of the cars overall has improved. I heard the steering wheel controlls don't work however. If you use a steering wheel for racing games then I would wait until further information from the devs. -New content? Quite a lot actually compared to Heat 2. A new dirt...

Not For Me... I was truley excited for this game when I realised it was soon to launch just a week or two ago. NASCAR games over the past decade really haven't done anything for me, but after watching some youtube videos of what was included in this game, I got a mental image of how much fun this could be. That combined with recently investing a large chunk of cash into a sim racing setup, I thought this could be...

As an iRacing member, I will begin this review by saying that I've had quite a bit of fun racing in this game, more fun than I was expecting. I do use a wheel/pedals/H-shifter and that certainly adds to the experience. This is NOT a simracer, so if that's what you're seeking you will not be satisfied with this game. The dirt racing is excellent and very fun, and the asphalt racing physics are what's to be expected...

Excellent Game! I loved NASCAR Heat 2, and Heat 3 is better in every way. Note: I'm playing with a controller, the Logitech F310. 1. The AI are tougher, no doubt! They will dive bomb you if you leave that bottom open! Hard in Qualifying. (I play at Legend/105 Difficulty). 2. Graphics have slightly increased in quality. The sky is pretty. Better lighting. Better particle effects. 3. Physics are different from Heat...
