NASCAR Racing 2002 Season

"Papyrus Pulls into Victory Lane with This Great Nascar Title"

Nascar Racing 2002 Season must be one of the best Nascar simulations that I've played. Compared to Nascar Heat 2002, this game blows that game right out of the water. Unlike Nascar Heat 2002, Nascar Racing 2002 Season features all 23 Nascar tracks (like Nascar Thunder 2002) plus one fantasy track known as the Coca-Cola Superspeedway (or Speedway). Papyrus has been making Nascar titles for quite some time along side EA Sports but it seems some people like Nascar Racing series than EA's Nascar titles since 97.

Papyrus started back in 95 or 96 and they know how to make a great racing title. Some people may think that EA does better but it's really hard to say who's better at the Nascar series. EA might come out at top or Papyrus who will it be. This game really kicks some major butt. Let's see how Papyrus done with their famous Nascar Racing 2002 Season:

GRAPHICS: 10/10
The graphics on this game have to be the best graphics I've seen in a racing simulation. Papyrus really put the time and effort into making this game look like it does such as making it realistic.

SOUND: 10/10
The sound in this game was done very well because it makes this game sound like you're actually driving a Nascar race car.

DIFFICULTY: 10/10
The difficulty of this game is very challenging because you'll be trying to fight for positions and Papyrus made it where you have to make your race quite fun and challenging.

CONTROL: 10/10
The control is done well and it seems that it can make you feel like that you can make it through the race but you'll have to be careful that you don't spin out during the race or do it to someone else.

OVERALL: 10/10
Overall Nascar Racing 2002 Season must be the best racing simulation of all time or is it something more. There are many things that is featured in this game that you don't see in any other Nascar game. Nascar Thunder 2002 for the PlayStation2 and X-BOX was a great game, but when Nascar Thunder 2003 for the PC comes out we'll see how Nascar Racing 2002 Seaon will fare against that game. If EA ends up coming at top again Papyrus will try to take the spot over again but how would they be able to take the top spot away from EA or how will EA take the top spot away from Papyrus.
