I absolutely love this game. A game that die-hard drag racing fans should own!
The Good
I loved the graphics and how the tracks were too real. The car physics were awesome and it actually feels like you are in the car completing a run! I have yet to complete a season in my quest for the NHRA Championships, but they offer 4 types of cars from Top Fuel to Pro Stock Truck. Having driven a Top Fuel car and a Funny Car, each has different characteristics. The controls were a bit hard to get during the first initial run you make with this game, but it gets easier as you advance.
The Bad
I do not like how the sounds are a slight bit choppy at first, but with minor adjustment they get better.
The Bottom Line
I would describe it as a must-have to all true drag racing fans.

The Good
After some practice. Track conditions are a great way to test, tune up skills. Funny car is a bit tough to drive, but in the real sport of Drag Racing. It is known to be the same. Learn to Tame the Beast. Online racing is my favorite thou. Testing you skills against other racers is a great reward. Not to mention online friendships. Over all graphics are great. The sounds are my favorite! During burnout and leaving the line. "Awesome"
The Bad
I wish there where more tune up functions. For more refined tune ups. Online sometimes can be a bear, with its Applet being the problem. Also the online setup can cause some problems. Wish it would have its own paint booth to paint your own car schemes.
The Bottom Line
If you like Drag racing. This is as close as you can get, without having your own
race car. Only thing missing is the smells of Nitro in the air and burnout smoke.
Be careful not to redlight. Overall you get the sensation of real DragRacing

The Good
The graphics and the sounds are so awesome. Makes you feel like your at the track! No better feeling when you hear and feel the pure unadulterated power of a fuel funny car or top fuel dragster fire up! This game make you think your right there!
The Bad
The stability of the applet that runs the online gaming portion of the game lacks the all important TCP/IP player connectivity and must be run off of Moto1.net's server and is no where near stable!
The Bottom Line
Drag Racing at its finest!
