NASCAR Heat 2 - Microsoft Xbox One

NASCAR Heat 2 a solid 4 out of 5 with some room for improvement.

Solid gameplay. Not many bugs. Crashes happen but leave some aftermath out. Compared to NASCAR The Game series. It is much better. It is a bit on the arcade side but has better response when compared to NASCAR 15. Car set ups are rather responsive and the slightest change can give you great response whether positive or negative. You can take what Forza 6 and 7 tell you about car set ups. And get a car dialed in pretty quickly and get a solid sweet spot set up for a top 10 qualifying spot. Or let the computer give you the best set up for that car.

Now the cars have different aspects based on team. I found the career mode rates the cars based on a 5 star system. 3 star teams have a chance at winning races but even at the 85 a.i. strength. There are chances you will need to fight for a solid top 5 finish. And the career mode allows you to go with the stages or turn them off for an endurance classic NASCAR feel.

But back to the set ups. We all remember NASCAR 15. Even with a ffb racing wheel. The real life best set up never gave you a good car. So I love how you can take a 3 star rated car and give it a set up that can pay out greatly in long run situations.

Now game play. I mentioned the arcade feel cause the damage model is amazing. But every form of damage can be fixed. So DNF's don't happen. But the AI can wreck in great heaps at times. Like I was in the Busch (Xfinity) series at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A caution happened. And a car that got hit stayed out when it should't. And it caused a good 12-16 car wreck right after a restart. So the AI will race like crazy and wreck while doing so. But some things to note. No dnf's. No accident replay's. No blown tires or blown engine/fireball wrecks. But I feel this could be in next game in series. Other things to note. Sometimes the AI cars can be like a brick wall. Other times won't be.

Overall NASCAR Heat can be fun and challenging with the trucks, xfinity, and cup series. It can be a strategic game full of action. And great for younger fans to learn the basics of the tracks throw the slower trucks that don't require the brakes as much to learn what the faster cars use for racing lines. I rate it 4 out of 5. Cause it could use some minor touches to become a good simulator.Read full review

Same concept as Heat one, with more tracks and three different leauges.

On Nascar Evolution there were a couple of races that had no chance of winning,( Datona being one of them). In Heat two,the car does not vary in power depending on the race. I plan on purchasing three and four eventually. Fun game
