Dirt racing has value for developer Monster Games. Since it hasn\u2019t always been included in the studio\u2019s titles through the years, fans have demanded it. Dirt racing also has cred. Many famous drivers got their starts on dirt, tearing it up at local tracks throughout the country on a Friday night. So, it makes sense that Monster would partner with NASCAR star Tony Stewart \u2013 who has always supported dirt racing \u2013 for a sprint car racing game on dirt.<\/p>\n

Racing is naturally more slippery on dirt, but I\u2019m glad this title has more gameplay nuance than just slopping through the corners. It\u2019s more about finesse than aggression, and you must consider your car\u2019s HP and the banking and arc of the turns. The fact that the tracks are ovals might seem boring, but the shortness of the straightaways relative to a NASCAR track creates a fun rhythm; it feels like you\u2019re perpetually turning the wheel in preparation for the next corner. The flow feels different than a regular offroad or rally game. I was often on the gas the whole race, managing the car simply through careful and timely steering inputs, tearing around the track and scissoring between the other cars. Unfortunately, this is negated during online races, where lag can cause cars to visually appear to teleport around.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Starting out in the career mode, I gained an appreciation for what it takes to even eke out a mid-place finish through disciplined racing and avoiding contact with other cars. The mode contains three tiers of cars of escalating HP corresponding to the three racing series (midgets, 305s, and 410s), as well as upgradeable parts within each which you buy with your winnings and sponsorship payouts.<\/p>\n

Progress through the mode is gradual, which I like. I didn\u2019t win my first race until my second season in midgets, by which time I not only had better equipment, but I was also simply a better racer. Accordingly, I began to deal more with lapped traffic (on 50-percent race length) \u2013 another gameplay wrinkle that takes skill and patience to navigate. Eventually you can own more than one race car across each series and use your success in lower tiers to fuel your progress in the higher ones.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s career mode is appropriately wedded to the experience on the track, but it\u2019s locked in a linear inevitability that puts a cap on the mode\u2019s ultimate payoff. Eventually you can get enough money to buy the parts you need to simply outmuscle opponents. This isn\u2019t necessarily bad; it works, but it also makes your progress through the mode predictable and without consequence. It doesn\u2019t match the tension and excitement occurring on the track itself.<\/p>\n

Dirt racing may be a sort of minor league to the big-time stock cars, but this game \u2013 while limited in some areas \u2013 taps into its own enjoyable racing rhythm and buzz.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Score: 7<\/h2>\n

Summary: <\/b>Monster Games’ latest racer contains some elements similar to its NASCAR series, but the sprint cars have a gameplay feel all their own. <\/p>\n

Concept: <\/b>NASCAR developer Monster Games takes you back to the roots of racing \u2013 sprint cars on dirt tracks, complete with real drivers and a multi-series career mode <\/p>\n

Graphics: <\/b>Frame stutters occur every couple of laps <\/p>\n

Sound: <\/b>The local track announcer is a nice touch, but he\u2019s not used much <\/p>\n

Playability: <\/b>Maintaining optimal control and speed is a subtle task, making the simple dirt tracks trickier than they might appear <\/p>\n

Entertainment: <\/b>I enjoyed racing spring cars on dirt ovals more than I thought I would <\/p>\n

Replay: <\/b>Moderate <\/p>\n
