NASCAR Arcade Rush

NASCAR Arcade Rush is exactly what it promises, delivering a streamlined, casual racing game without any specialized complicators or the like. Abusing the colors in a charming look, it offers a light and uncompromising gameplay, perfect for lazy afternoons, but far from the sophistication that many motorsports fans expect.

NASCAR Arcade Rush is disappointing in a lot of ways. I was really just wanting a simple Daytona-style arcade racing game and instead I got an uninspired and frustrating kart racing game with little to keep me coming back. I wanted to love it, I tried to love it, but at the end of the day I went back to better games in the genre. I really want the arcade racing game to have a renaissance, but with entries like this, I doesn’t look likely in the near future.

NASCAR Arcade Rush isn’t necessarily the game fans of the genre asked for and its lack of content doesn’t show promising longevity.

NASCAR Arcade Rush could have been an interesting real-life inspired take on a Mario Kart-style racer, but it doesn't have the ideas or the content to pull it off.
