EA Sports hits their highest gear
So far, the number 2000 has been a magic one for EA Sports. Every edition of their games that brandishes that number has been exceptional, and NASCAR 2000 continues that trend. EA has always been so diligent about licensing all of their sports games that it's easy to overlook that this game has everything a NASCAR fan could want--real tracks, drivers, cars, and a serviceable amount of information about each one. If there isn't something you like, simply create your own driver and car, and feel free to adjust its settings (downforce, oversteer, car balance and such) to your liking. The customizing of cars and other game options is excellent. Previous EA NASCAR games have always been heavy on features, but stumbled when it came to the aesthetics. Not so here. The graphics, while not outstanding (like Gran Turismo 2 or R4), are very well detaild in terms of making the cars look identical to their counterparts and doing the tracks justice. Also, the game's steady frame-rate doesn't sputter during the split-screen two-player mode. Suffice to say, if you're a NASCAR fan, it's hard to imagine that you won't like this realistic racing game. PROS: Smooth framerate, Fully licensed, Lots of customizing/ CONS: Mediocre sound effects and music, Nothing very flashy

You'll Shift Into High Gear With This Game
Nascar 2000 is one of the most realistic racing games I have ever played. EA Sports has put out another winner.The graphics are superb and very realistic. The motion is so smooth, it's easy to sometimes forget that this is only a game. The sound could be done a little better, but the game more than makes up for it with the new fantasy courses, and allowing you to race against the king, Richard Petty.Another nice feature is the ability to customize a car to your liking. Nascar 2000 allows you to pick from a myriad of options to satisfy your own particular cravings. Overall, this game is quite entertaining and a surefire hit for racing fans.

A good ride
This game is a very smooth ride. I loved it. I couldn't put it down once it came in the mail. Still, I was somewhat disappointed with how easy it was to win the championship. All it seems to take is a course with enough nintey degree turns. You can always make those turns faster than the rest of the cars for some reason, no matter who you play with. So, the game is fun and runs smoothly, but pretty much anyone with a steady hand will defeat the first try.
