About this product

Product Information

EA Sports drives its NASCAR license up to speed with the 2004 launch of this new title. Though created under the direction of the company's acclaimed Tiburon studios, which also steered the design of games in EA's earlier NASCAR Thunder series, Chase for the Cup represents a distinct turn toward customization and realistic NASCAR rivalry. Other new features include RPG-style character development and the chance to race in four additional NASCAR series: Busch, Craftsman Truck, Featherlite Modified, and Nextel Cup.<br><br>The game's "Fight to the Top" mode is designed to let players live the life of an up-and-coming NASCAR driver or owner. By mastering basic driving skills, competing in a variety of racing events, and building fan support, custom-created characters earn a place on the NASCAR circuit. The game's "Chase for the Cup" feature comprises ten separate races, and is billed as the first video game representation of the new NASCAR point system. It can be played on its own, or as part of the main "Fight to the Top" campaign.<br><br>Role-playing elements are more prominent in Chase for the Cup than in past NASCAR games from the publisher. Drivers will develop rivalries that influence behavior, and the game's "Intimidator Button" lets the player's character try to bully other drivers into making mistakes. More intense grudges may carry over, even when the race is done, but characters can settle scores away from the arenas, with back-street races in muscle cars like the Dodge Viper and Ford GT. To settle any real-life racing rivalries, up to four gamers can compete in the game's multiplayer modes.

  • Ideal NASCAR videogame experience

    NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup is honestly one of if not the best NASCAR videogame experiences I've ever had, as someone who's played every game from NASCAR 08 to NASCAR 21: Ignition. The Modified Tour is an amazing option, there are over a dozen fantasy tracks, from the Daytona Infield to Old Spice Raceway, each more exciting than the last. The career mode is by far the most immersive I've ever played, and you truly rise the ranks like the NASCAR stars of the day did. While the roster may be slim in all four series, leading to many fantasy drivers, it adds challenge to the game to try to get every Thunder Plate and unlock every driver (if you're impatient, just name your driver Open Sesame. Trust me). I bought this game because Ross Chastain said it inspired him to do his viral "Hail Melon" move, and it's probably the best choice I've made in a NASCAR videogame. (P.S.: If you don't have a GameCube, this game, like all other GameCube games, is compatible with the RVL-001 Nintendo Wii (any Wii from 2006-2010). That's what I've mainly played it on.)
