NHRA Drag Racing Main Event

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!

The Good
The fact i can drag race online...Well kinda. The game was alright the comunitty made it great.I loved the fact that i could strap myself into nitro burning TF or Fc and go at it. The competition was great. The theory behind the game was perfect with some flaws.

The Bad
Most everything.. The applet was junk from the get go. The company lied to us almost daily. The game is just a 20 dollar patch for nhra2 which was a 20 dollar patch for nhra1. I mean for example they said the applet was a work in process but it still is not fixed and it wont be ever. There were too many drivers views. Not enough info on the racepack program. To many ways to cheat. No way to stop guys from Dfr'ing(Dropped frame rate runs) They basically took a game NHRA 1 and polished it and gave us NHRA 2 basically same game.Then they polished it again and gave us Main event. Only thing main event was was a add on pack with Pro Stock cars and trucks. i prolly wouldnt have been as mad if they would have just advertised it as a expansion pack.

The Bottom Line
Save your money its not worth the hassle. The game is dead unless you intend to play offline. There were times that you could go into the applet and see over 100 guys online at anytime. Now when you go there your lucky to get 16. That should tell people something. If you want to throw your money away buy Main Event.

The Good
this game has given me hours upon hours of quality fun with my friends online... no other PC drag racing game can compare to this one "as of yet" there are alotta bugs that need to be worked out with the online gaming, but for the price of this game you cant go wrong.

The Bad
All the various patches that where needed kinda put a damper on the game, also even with the patches the sound never does work right.. the biggest problem though has to be the online game applet... java applet is never gonna work "i dont think" if there where a better online gaming portion of this game that excluded the java applet, and had a way to fix the few cheats that certain people have found the game would be perfect... this is all just my opinion in my review... maybe other gamers will post theirs also..

The Bottom Line
I would describe this game as head to head, adrinalin pumpin, sim racing fun :-)

The Good
Loved everything about the game. I have been a die hard drag racing fan for years. Glad to see they came out with a game that closely resesembles true life dragracing.

The Bad
1). Different drivers views for racing. ( Should only be one view when racing. From the drivers seat.)

2). The Applet ( The applet was good in the begnning but as more people started to play the game it became worse. The applet doesn't support large amounts of people.) The Applet was a poor choice for this game.

3). Too many cheats need to be fixed in this game. I am sure the programmers know which ones the racer are using to cheat to win.

4). Tuning screen could be alittle bit better. Don't like the sliders.

5). The programmers were on there way to making the best online sim game out there before running into trouble. Hope they can make a go of new game that they were about to release before running into trouble.

The Bottom Line
Great product just needs some work.

The Good
The gameplay is quite fast and the graphics are way cool compared to other drag racing games out there. It is very challenging to learn how to tune your car for the track conditions, but not so hard you have to be a die hard drag racer to learn.

The Bad
The one dislike I can say is the way online play is handled. It is ran thru a JAVA applet and has many many hangups. I believe if the game were run thru a different type server like Nascar or Need for speed hot pursuit2 is ran, the online play would b much smoother. When the "applet" is working up to par the competition online is wayyyy coool. The online events are absolutely the best. but like i said it doesn't work very good and online events haven't happened for quite some time.

The Bottom Line
If you have any interest in drag racing this is one game you don't want to pass up. For $19.99 it is well worth it. There is nothing better than driving 330 mph!!!!!!!!

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
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.
