NHRA Championship Drag Racing: Speed For All Reviews

No proper controls for PC, unplayable

It's ok but.. definitely dissappointing as a DieHard Drag Racing fan of over 14 years, this game really is a mixed bag The Graphics are great, arguably the best part of the game Sound mixing sounds broken, the sounds themselves are good, but the mixing, especially when shifting, sound broken, as sound will cut off for a second when you shift gears; the gameplay itself is just.... wrong. I'm convinced that Team6 & GameMill Never seen an NHRA race in their lives, because the gameplay is very, very unrealistic, cars have almost too much grip, the cars when you wreck, feel like tossing a toy die-cast around, and the physics feel extremely wrong for an NHRA Dragster, if you watch any NHRA race, yeah it looks identical, but they got how it all works completely wrong, If you want an accurate representation of what it's really like driving an NHRA Dragster, download NHRA Drag Racing 2 or get a rom of NHRA: Countdown to the Championship on the PS2. The overall career mode is ok, I do like the premise of helping uplift a failing team and making your way to the top, while some things feel a bit strange, like the UI being a bit of a pain, you get used to it after a while. one thing to note is none of the cars have any manufacturers on them, NHRA Has 4 major Manufacturers, Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, and Dodge, this game features none of them, although some divisions like Pro Mod & Pro Stock, try to very faintly hint at what they're trying to be, I don't know if this is because of legality issues, or if Team6 simply couldn't get the Licenses to any manufacturer, but regardless I can live with it. one thing that does disappoint me though is the Multiplayer, you'd think its like an actual Online Multiplayer match, but no, it's actually akin to a time ghost system, where you race a replay of a players lap time, instead of racing actually online with them. NHRA Speed for All is a disappointing game, It's especially disappointing when you realize this is the very first NHRA Drag Racing video game in over 15 years, I just wish that Team6 & GameMill put more effort into this game, to be fair us Drag Racing fans could have what IndyCar is going through, where they havent had an IndyCar game in over 20 years (not including iRacing), and the license is in rights hell, so who knows when they will get another game; speaking of not getting another game, it's unknown if there will ever be another NHRA game, since as of the time im typing this out, this game is already 3 years old, and no updates on a new game have been made since, so for all we know this is the last of NHRA as a game we'll ever see. My Final Verdict: if I had to recommend NHRA Speed for all, I'd say, not really. maybe as a small pass time when you're bored, or if you love NHRA that much, but even as a DieHard fan, I'd say just skip this game, It had so much potential to be something great, unfortunately that's not the case, I await whatever Team6 & GameMill have in store for the next Installment, if there even is one, but if this is the most we'll get, then I'll still stick with the PlayStation 2's NHRA Countdown to the Championship.
