Sure, the game has its problems - that display in the cockpit always shows zeroes (not real information like other games). As well as the lack of a tachometer with numbers (you end up using your ears - still effective). But the game more than makes up for those problems. It has very good controls and a great deal of customizability (a VMU or other memory card is a must). Also the graphics are very good - high quality and very smooth. It has an excellent variety of tracks and drivers as well. Easily the best reality based racing game for a console that I have played. Definitely worth buying for anyone who wants realistic, open wheel racing without a PC.

This game was a lot of fun and especially if you're a CART fan. Not many CART games have been made at all so I was very excited to get this game. Many people don't appreciate this game as much because they are not true CART fans and do not have a favorite driver or a rival driver. The games graphics and sounds are amazing! The animation is great too! The only improving thing they could do for this is to make spin-outs and better AI. Your car seems to go faster than everyone else's. If you crash you should be out of the race. It should'nt be so easy to crash too! But overall this is a great game!

This game could have been great. All the tracks are fantastic, the graphics are great, the cockpit view is superb. So why only 2 stars? The computers AI is horrible. The cars take 1 or 2 paths around the track and rarely pass. Sounds realistic, right? Well, if the car in front stops, then all the cars will stop. Literally. Stop, dead in the track. I passed 22 cars at once because they were stopped going into 1st turn, backed up all the way down the straight. Also, there are no crashes, you just sort of bump off your opponent, bump off the wall. If you hit the grass, your speed instantly drops to 40 mph, no matter how fast you're going. You never spin out. This game could have been great, but the unrealistic (lack of) racing on the computer's part coupled with the silly physics of no crashes and no spinouts ruins this title for me. It is good for a rent, but I'd recommend not buying it.
