EA’s NASCAR 08 Now on Store Shelves

Electronic Art's NASCAR 08 racing game is now available for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

The latest installment of Electronic Arts‘ rated-E-for-everyone racing franchise NASCAR 08 is now available at retailers for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 game consoles. Just like real NASCAR racing, the game itself is replete with corporate sponsorship, with players competing to win the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series on all 22 NASCAR-sanctioned tracks. The game features advanced car tuning for peak performance, along with newly enhanced visuals with motion blur and cinematic environmental effects. Players can also tap into a new Career Mode for long-term achievement, and challenge up to 11 other drivers in live races.

In the game, players develop their racing skills to earn contracts and unlock classic racing cars from big-name NASCAR drivers. The game also features a new vehicle telemetry visor which enables players to monitor their car’s performance and status and get real-time feedback on their cars’ handling. And, exclusively on the PlayStation 3, players can use the Sixaxis controller to run three-wide, truly getting a feel for side-by-side racing…or, potentially, the feel of major crashes.

NASCAR 08 is priced at $59.95 for the Xbox 360 and PS3; the PS2 edition is priced at $39.95.
