NASCAR Heat vs. NASCAR Thunder (2002)

[steveo_wrx]

Well guys, I'm itching for some in-the-pack racing action and I can't wait for Pro Race Driver. Which of these games is better and why ?

Heat = more modes, more realism, better graphics, more like racing.

Thunder = more drivers, more tracks (Pocono), more arcadey.

Depends what you're looking for. Personally I can't stand Thunder. Heat's 'Beat The Heat' and 'Race The Pro' modes are sweeeet.

Good succinct feedback. Thanks, Zion.

BTW, does either game have Watkins Glen or Sears Point ?

thunder has all the tracks.

They both have both of those tracks. Heat just does not have Pocono...don't ask me why! Doesn't make sense to me.

i have both games and i play heat alot more because it is more realistic then thunder but thunder does have more tracks and drivers

HEAT has better graphics???
Not on my XBox, Thunder looks 10 times better, that's the only thing I don't like about HEAT. Make the HEAT graphics better, of add system-link to Thunder. Combining the 2 games would be good.

on Thunder the cars bounce alot on the track,,feels like your floating on the road,,Heat has alot better feel to it,,great crashes,better sound also,,but Thunder has more cars to pick from and more tracks.

Yeah, Heat blows Thunder away on the graphics. Thunder is nothing but a PS2 port. Heat has MUCH better graphics.
