Editorial Reviews:

NASCAR Thunder 2004 takes you into the screaming speed and backroom grudges that make up a professional racing season -- understand what the pros do: that racing is a contact sport! Advanced AI creates more intense rivalries -- if you're rough on your fellow competitors, they'll retaliate!

Summary: On the edg excitement
Comment: This game i so freaking real it is beyond amazing,keeps me on the edge of my pc chair,and yes can get your goat when ya get tapped by another car lol. Grahpics are amazing I use the GeForce 9800 GTX video card and run the game at 1600x900 resolution,having drove dirt track cars for real, it brings back some good and yes bad times lol. Way to go EA Sports ya did great on this game, I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Good game, bad company
Comment: Thunder 2004 has a very good game engine, yet it has some serious flaws. Which is why EA won't support it, and is the reason why I will not support EA.
The premise is very good, although behind the times for the "year" it names. The tracks are unbelievably accurate, watch through the Nascar "in-car" on TV, they did such an outstanding job getting the track layout correct.
But... the flaws start with computer programmers deciding which car adjustment does what. Usually, they're opposite from reality. Cautions are so bad that there needs to be a reset button, and the worst is the cold shoulder from EA for any type of support.
Buy at your own risk.

Summary: EA NASCAR Thunder 2004
Comment: This was my first game. Could not get around the track at the beginning. As I got better, I became addicted. When I got the wheel, the game became my past time. You must build a fast car to compete. That is the best part. A lot of stradegy is needed to build the car of your dream. If you mess up, you will go broke because it takes money, which the game starts you out at 4million, to build the car. Once you have built the dream car, set the AL at 100%. You can stay with them. After a year I brought the Sierra NASCAR 2003 and became spoiled. I sold my EA NASCAR 2004 and I miss it but when you have Sierra 2002 and 2003, you have the best. Donald Lindsey

Summary: you need patience with this game
Comment: Ok, I'm not going to talk about computer specs or anything, but im sure everyone's computer is supreme compare to mine, however I can still play the game decently. I'm not a car junkie so I NEVER touched the car settings, I will in the future when I have the time to play with it. This game takes time to develop really. I enjoyed the furious battle for position and the AI is really competitive. The car handles just right for me. I dont know why the bad reviews from others. I'm not even a NASCAR fan but I love the competitive-ness. I recommend this game to whoever loves a good competition. Its also a great way to learn about cars as you fine tune your beast into a champion.

Summary: I agree - NO REALLY, IT SUCKS
Comment: Just want to help anyone out there considering this game - it really sucks. I played it 3 times then uninstalled it and threw the disc in the garbage (I don't throw anything out!!).
I am currently playing a 2001 version of Total Immersion Racing, which blows this game completely away.
DO NOT BUY (Unless you are buying the 2004 5-Pack).
The 2004 5 Pack includes:
NBA Live 2004 - which is a great game.
Madden 2004 - which is a very good game.
Nascar Thunder 2004 - which is unplayable.
NHL Live 2004 - which is unplayable.
Tiger Woods 2004 - which I haven't tried yet.
Good luck!!!
