Good physics and a comprehensive NASCAR experience make this a must-have title for casual and serious gamers. There is no shortage of racing titles in the world of video games. Furthermore, titles that connect in some manner to real-world racing bodies have a reputation for placing the brand over the gaming experience. In other words, it can be very difficult to stand out in this segment, or worse, stand out for the wrong reasons. NASCAR Heat 3 from Monster and 704 Games does indeed stand out, but we’re happy to say it’s for the right reasons. In fact, it’s so good we suspect its appeal could spread beyond NASCAR fans to sim racers in general. Try NASCAR Heat 3 for FREE on Xbox One and PlayStation 4!
