This game is as good as I've played for dirt track racing.The track changes as it goes and is very challenging to play which is a good thing.I started out in rookie and usually you can win every race from the start ,not so with this game it takes some some hours of playing to get a good feel.The cheap price scared me a little bit but the $20 is the best $20 I've spent.Grafics are good sound is good all in all I think this game is a taste of the real dirt track experience,all you need is some clay dust and methenol fumes and you would think your there.
My all time favorite game is World Of Outlaws 2002 from Ratbag for the PS2. I still play that game religously everyday....until now!
This is pretty much an updated version of the 2002 game. Its a BLAST!!! And $20 ! WOW. The graphics are just right, not amazing but very realistic and just fine for my taste. The sound of the cars in unbelievable! The mud flying and the changing of the track as you race is awesome!
This game is gonna get played at my house until it burns up because it is awesome. I would of gladly paid $50 for this game.
MUST BUY!!!
esp ROLLING WHEELS RACEWAY i was hoping sooo much to get the op to race that track but it wasn't in the lineup but still aq great game i love watching , going to the track, and now playing thanx thq
If you are a fan of Sprint car racing, you need to get this game. Its well worth the $20. If you dive into the game not expecting a Forza Motorsports 3 presentation and gameplay, you will be just fine. That being said, the game will provide lots of fun for racing fans who like to get sideways. The graphics are similar to the 2002 Ratbag Playstation 2 version. When i am going into a turn three abreast, I am not paying much attention to how nice the rims look on the car next to me. The controls and physics seem accurate, but don't purchase a steering wheel. The wheel is very slow to respond and is pratically useless(Xbox steering wheel works great with Forza but not with this game). In career mode the difficulty is not too challenging, but will provide practice for XBox live which is much tougher. The career mode features Accuracy, Time and Speed challenges along with the standard track events. As far as the challenges, the Time ones are the most difficult. Career mode also provides a garage to upgrade your car very similar to the 2002 version. This game also includes an arcade mode which is more challenging than career mode. There is no difficulty setting in career mode. There are also about 47 accomplishments to achieve. What sets this game apart from the 2002 Sprint car racing is the online feature. I am a big fan of the World of Outlaws and to me this is the best dirt track game out there.
If you loved the previous sprint car games, you'll love this. I couldn't wait to plug in my simulator. I raced my a$$ off and couldn't get anything better than 5th on the wheel. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. THEY NEED TO GET THE WHEEL WORKING ON THIS. For any racing game not to support steering wheels is a complete flop. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed their developers are reading these reviews and are working on a patch that gets it to work. Other than that I like everything.
This is a fun game and my review falls in line with other reviews from people who like the game. Hopefully this game will get enough support to make a follow up. I would not mind seeing the game get turned over to Rainbow Studios the people who make MX vs ATV, after playing a demo of MX vs ATV Reflex it would bee nice to see this type of graphics in this game. Also i would like to see World Racing Group bring the late models and modified's to the game, and more tracks and some dlc. Well that's my take.
Just bought WoO for the Xbox. At first try out of the box I was excited, but soon found that a steering wheel is not supported. I found this hard to believe, so I emailed THO and they responded "Steering wheels are not supported for this game. We apologize for the inconvenience." I express my disappointment and asked that it be fixed in a patch if possible. As I told them a racing game without wheel support is like a dairy farmer that don't drink milk. I'm playing with the control pad and can see the game has potential, but without being able to adjust the sensitivity and or the wheel lock, it's pretty hard to control. The game does responds to a steering wheel, IOW gas, brake work, but the steering has way too much play, almost 4-6 inches left to right before it kicks in. Being an old dude that has little experience with the smaller joystick on the control pad, I have been having a hard time, my son who is used to the controllers has a little better luck. But still when you are in the pack it is very difficult to keep from over steering. If you like racing with a joystick you can have some fun with this game. Lot's of excitement and the physics seem pretty good, if you can control it. With a properly config. steering wheel I think the game would be a blast. I hope that a fix is possible. My recommendation is simple, if you play with a stick buy it, but if you like the feel of a wheel in a racing game your not going to be happy. I'd probably pass if I had it to do over.
I thought i would give this game a try. I love racing games, however this one comes up short big time. Graphics are bad, looks like your playing on a ps2. It plays as if you cant control the cars at all. I had it for a short time then got rid of it. I really tried to get into it but just didnt click for me. 1/5 stars
I am a long-time dirt racing fan and have played all of the better games out there for the Xbox 360. (Dirt 2 still rules...) so I couldn't wait for the Outlaws game from THQ to arrive. When it did I stuck it in the Xbox only to find out it does not support steering wheels! I tried using my Microsoft Xbox wireless wheel and it does work most of the functions but there is no way to calibrate it so it is all over the place. This is just stupid in the age of game consoles and realism. This game should have a big sticker on it that says it is not in the modern world.
The good news is that I only tossed $20 away on this piece of junk. If they get steering wheel support, this could be a great game, until then the Dirt 2 game stays in the Xbox and THQ's World of Outlaws game moves another step closer to the trash bin.
