* Graphics (other than the resolution, see below) - the immersion is good, I like the sense of speed, and I can pick out detail a good distance down the track, which helps in choosing a passing strategy, avoiding a wreck, etc.

Here is a list of Likes, Eh, and Dis-Likes: I bought this game yesterday and put in about three hours with it last night, and raced in 17 different online races, trying out Martinsville, Daytona, Talladega, and Atlanta. It looks like this will be more of a process (with patches) than an event (with initial release). I am glad I bought this game if anything else, to support a new developer in creating a good Nascar racing game again. With this in mind, to sum up my thoughts on Nascar 2011 - while it approaches (but doesn't meet) the standards set by the other three games, it blows away the EA games. I love all three games and they have set the standard for my expectations. Today, prior to buying Nascar 2011, I've been driving F1 2007, Dirt2, and GT5 for the PS3. I didn't bother to even try the EA versions for the PS3. I went from those games to the EA Nascar games for X-Box but was really disappointed, particularly in the graphics, even after putting in some time on them. I got started on Papyrus sims on the PC 10-15 years ago.
