If you own any of the other titles released by the now defunct Papyrus, this is a nice one to add to your collection. NASCAR Legends was released in October of 1999 and was based off of the same game engine used to create NASCAR Racing 3 which was released two months earlier. The 1970 season was a historic year in NASCAR as the battle between the Ford Motor Company and Chrysler reached its pinnacle. The Aero-War, as it is called, was to see who could make the most aerodynamically superior vehicle. Ford used its one year old 1969 Torino along with Mercury’s 1969 Cyclone. Dodge used its famous 1969 Daytona along with Plymouth’s equally famous 1970 Superbird. NASCAR Legends recreates the shapes of these cars rather well, although there is room for improvement. For example, the height of the cars is much too high compared to how they actually were. Painting flaws are evident as the Cyclone looks exactly like the Torino and the Superbird looks exactly like the Daytona. Once you hit the track it is clear that you are not driving one of today’s NASCAR race cars. In order to go fast you really have to take it easy through the corners and not overdrive the car. Tire ware was poor back then so don’t abuse that right front. With attention to detail aside, I still find this to be a fun game to play. There is even some web sites that are still around that have downloads to fix things such as the height of the cars as previously mentioned. Have fun!Read full review
Fun game. If you like old school nascar its fun to see superbirds and torinos run around. Its an older game so graphics are not 2008.
