NASCAR Heat 4

NASCAR Heat 4 is the fourth (after the reboot from 2016) installment of a series of racing games dedicated to NASCAR. As in the case of previous installments, the title was developed by Monster Games, which has created such popular games as NASCAR Heat, NASCAR Heat 2002 and NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona.

Mechanics

In the game we're driving licensed cars and fighting for victory in several racing series, including NASCAR Xfinity, NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, plus we can try our hand at Xtreme Dirt Tour where we race on gravel tracks. The game has 38 authentic tracks and over 150 teams that took part in the 2019 season.

The title enables us to choose the driving model to our individual skills - experienced drivers can choose a simulation variant, while newcomers will appreciate the presence of an arcade variant. This is all the more important because the devs have introduced a number of realistic improvements, such as the possibility of choosing tires to suit the ground type; sometimes our chances of winning may also be increased by the appropriate use of wind tunnels.

Game modes

The pillar of NASCAR Heat 4 is a career mode, in which we not only fight on the track but also control an entire racing team. In addition, there is an extensive multiplayer mode waiting to be tested.

Technical aspects

Compared to the previous installment of the series, NASCAR Heat 4 boasts improved visuals and a better sound layer (thanks to new engine sounds, among other things). In addition, the devs focused on the user interface, as well as on the AI of the opponents.
