NHRA Drag Racing Main Event (Windows)

Waste of money

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.
