NASCAR Racers Review

The cartoon is great, the game is cool. You can race the computer or make it a head-on competition with a friend. The characters in NASCAR Racers all have special powers and there are power-ups on each track -- some good, some not so good, so you have to be careful which ones you pick up. All of the cars also have some turbo boost fuel that gives you some added speed, but be careful because it runs out fast. You can pick up some more through the course of the race though. You can make pit stops for fuel and turbo recharges. 

There are 8 tracks and 8 cars to choose from, plus NASCAR Racers has 13 mini-episodes and race missions.  The missions in the Adventure mode are pretty fun, especially since you unlock other tracks once you complete a mission. There is also the single race option that lets you race any track you've opened up in the adventure mode. My favorite mode was the Season mode because it lets you choose the car with its special powered character and track. You can choose to race a single race circuit  or a complete season. 

NASCAR Racers is a nice interactive game that the fans of the cartoon will enjoy.  It does have a few bugs though, such as it's rather slow to respond, the sounds aren't that good and the graphics could be better. Other than that, it's a pretty OK game.
