Wow! this game i awesome!Nov 26, 2000

NASCAR Heat brings you the best drivers, the most famous tracks, tight racing and a never ending action!

The "beat the heat" and "race the pro" modes are total blast, and then you have the Single Race/Championshipmodes. The Graphics, Audio, Artificial Intelligents and Car Physics are great. This game is made with this year's Winston Cup leader, Bobby Labonte, as technical advisor.

Beat the Heat: This one of a kind Beat the Heat mode puts you into special scenarios; one has you in 16th place in Dover, with just 10 laps to go to get to first for the Gold, 3rd or Better for the Silver, and 6th or Better for the Bronze. There are 7 of these excitement built chapters that have 5 scenarios in each chapter to beat and possibly a little bonus after when your done.

Race the pro: Instead of racing ghost cars of your previous laps or your Hot Lap, you can race against some of your favorite Drivers Hot Lap. Some of the biggest names in stock car auto racing like Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace, and many more are found in the Heat Challenge showing you around many of the NASCAR Winston Cup tracks at lightning quick speeds. This is a thriller for all to watch, and a good learning curve to find the line on all of the Winston Cup tracks.

This is is the best Nascargame ever made!

Happy X-m...

High-powered Nascar actionDec 20, 2000

High-powered Nascar action with some new features similar to Gran Turismo. You'll love the "Beat the Heat" mode!

This is not an "arcade style" racer, it's strait-up-intense-stock car action! The "Beat the Heat" mode will test your skills. It's a series of 38 challenges that were all designed by Nascar drivers like Bobby Labonte. This feature is similar to attaining your license in Gran Turismo. There is a "Race the Pro" mode where you race against a "ghost" of a Nascar driver. In the Classic Championship mode you pick a driver, or create one yourself, and race through the season. There are 30 different drivers to choose from. Good luck trying to unlock the hidden racers like Richard Petty. The drivers cars are identical down to each decal of their respected cars. It's a 2-player game as well, so have fun with a friend!

This game really rocksDec 15, 2000

Well i have played all of EA's NASCAR games, and i must say, they are truly good but they don't "Beat the Heat".

What i love about NASCAR Heat is the two inventive new gameplay options, Beat the Heat mode, which challenges you to beat a preset time or position during 36 individual mini-scenarios, and a Race the Pro option, in which you try to beat a ghost car lap established by a real-life NASCAR ace, are both marvelously entertaining additions to the standard racing fare. Each of these addictive scenario-based modes also feature some highly polished introduction sequences from Speedvision's Allen Bestwick and a number of top Winston Cup drivers.

I would I recommend NASCAR Heat to any fan of the sport, or motorgames.
