The parachutes flap realistically behind the dragsters. The smoke rising from the burnout clouds your view as it passes by. The cars are beautiful and fun to look at.
I have never seen Bethesda's X-engine look better. The only skill you need to have in driving is starting off quickly and keeping the car from drifting to the right. Once you finally get lined up, the race is over before you know it. It takes forever unless you have it done automatically. For instance, the most difficult skill you must acquire is how to line up the car at the starting line. Basically, the game is long on tedium and short on action. The only complaints I have about this game, unfortunately, are fundamental to its enjoyment. You can make practice runs, make a single race on a number of tracks, compete in a full-blown circuit, or try your hand against your buddy over the Internet, LAN, or modem line. Once your car is assembled, it's off to the track to prove who has the beefiest car and fastest reflexes. In the tinkering stage you can choose from multiple chassis (the 1932 Ford Roadster is my personal favorite), and customize the engine, transmission, wing, tires and suspension with more options than I truthfully know what to do with. Basically, the game consists of a tinkering stage and a racing stage. The result is a superb game for drag race enthusiasts and closet motor-heads alike. On top of that, they add the potential for endless fiddling and customization. Bethesda brings to vivid life all the fun and action of racing in a straight line.
