I suppose it should come as no surprise that I really like this game. Sure, it might have been nicer to have the controls and racing situations more intuitive and something that anyone could pick up and excel at in a few hours, but I happen to like the fact that I had to work (and work and work and work) at becoming a better driver. It kind of hearkened back to the days when I'd play a game's level 99 times until I finally beat the damn thing, y'know?
If I were forced to come up with something that I'd like "improved upon" in the next incarnation of this franchise, it would be to have a career mode that would allow me to work my way up through the various racing series. If I could have begun as an egotistical young guy on the dirt tracks and then worked my way on and up until I was a seasoned veteran on the NASCAR level, it would be my idea of a perfect racing game.
NASCAR 08 is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB. This game can also be found on: PS2 and PS3.

over the years my kids and I have tried the game renting it through the years and since they disabled the multiplayer aspect stayed away from it
