NASCAR 09 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Game in general is good. The paint booth is a nice touch to help customize your car.

Playability is much improved over last year when it seemed like everytime you pressed the gas, you spun out.

Major bad for me was the game constantly freezing. It usually happened after the session was over or between online events.

One last thing, EA continues to amaze me on how cruddy the mic can be on their games. It is better than last year, but you still cannot hear everything people say. Too bad their mic software cannot be as good as cod4.

Overall, would rate higher if it did not freeze so often.

Fellow Gamers-
One thing I was looking forward to was the classic split screen setup, which this doesn't have for some stupid reason. When playing online against other players....beware. I could barely get a full lap in without someone trying to run me off the track...?? It's not demolition derby! (Although that would be AWESOME for PS3 if they made one like the PS2's Destruction Derby). Graphics are pretty darn good, which it better be, gameplay is much better than 08 version. It's actually driveable this time without the wheel. The other thing that bothers me is how many times I got black flagged for too many bumping. BOO!!!
Cmon, it's a video game, no one's perfect! I just don't think it will be easy to complete 200 full laps, let alone 100 laps without either getting black-flagged. Overall, a decent game that may NOT be worth the full price of $59.99.
Rent this one and see what you think before you buy.
Game-on!
