Ind圜ar Series does what a good racing should do, plays great and is fun to play. The racing action is fast and smooth, and the sense of speed during a race is impressive. The different modes available will please most gamers with the options available. Ind圜ar Series offers gamers a solid racing experience. You will have to take the tests several times before you complete them. You're expected to drive like an Ind圜ar driver, so you must follow all of the rules exactly as explained during the tutorial. These tests are difficult and unforgiving. After the tutorial is finished there is a test to see how well you'll perform. Each class offers a short tutorial, done with the in-game graphics and narration, about a different skill set for racing an Ind圜ar. Masterclass is composed of several different driving classes.
It's a great learning tool for novice race fans and drivers who are unclear about the specifics for Ind圜ar racing. The Masterclass mode is an excellent tutorial for racing fans and gamers.
The driver with the slowest lap time is bumped out of the starting grid and out of the Indy 500. The Bump Day is when you have one more chance to make it into the Indy 500. If your lap time wasn't good enough, then you could get moved into the Bump Day. The computer will then simulate the other drivers to determine their lap time. You have to qualify to determine your best lap time. As in the real race, there are a certain number of drivers that can compete in the race. The Indy 500 mode allows you to compete in the prestigious Indianapolis 500 race. There are two other modes available in the game: Indy 500 and Masterclass. Obtaining the trading cards is difficult at the higher skill levels. This is a great feature, but it can be distracting to some gamers. The type of card rewarded is based on the skill level you select in the game. By obtaining the different cards, you will unlock additional features in the game. These trading cards are considered career goals in the game. As you finish a race in the game, and at different skill levels, you can obtain trading cards.
There is also the option to race as either one of the professional drivers available in the game or select your own custom driver.īut the game doesn't allow you to create your own driver right away you have to earn this option. The faster the qualifying time, the better the starting position you'll obtain. For each race you need to qualify to determine your starting pole position. You have the option to set the number of laps for the race and the skill level. The Ind圜ar Series is your opportunity to compete in the Ind圜ar season by racing on 15 different tracks. There is nothing more humbling then to conquer the easy level and then crash & burn on the normal level. This is a great way to test your racing skills. As you increase the skill level, your car will take more damage, the tires on the car will wear down faster and the rules on the track are enforced. The easy skill level allows you to race without sustaining any damage to your car, having your tires wear down and unlimited fuel. The skill levels range from easy to custom, and there is a huge difference between the levels. You have the option to test drive the track, change the number of laps for the race and adjust your skill level. The Quick Race mode allows you to jump right into a race while still allowing you to change specific settings about the race. There are several modes available in Ind圜ar Series, from a standard quick race mode to an in-depth season mode. But this shouldn't distract gamers from enjoying Ind圜ar Series on PC. I hardly see any television coverage for Ind圜ars or any of the Ind圜ar drivers in commercials. However, with NASCAR enjoying increased popularity, Ind圜ar coverage seems to have dwindled. I always remembered everyone in my family sitting down to watch at least part of the Indianapolis 500 every year. It seems Ind圜ar racing has taken a back seat to NASCAR when it comes to mainstream popularity. Ind圜ar Series comes from CodeMasters, known for other popular racing titles including both the Colin McRae Rally and ToCA Touring series. Players slide behind the wheel of a 650 brake horsepower vehicle to blast toward the checkered flag at over 200 miles per hour. The licensed Ind圜ar Series features a tour of major arenas, including the famous Indy 500.
