   Excellent game. Better with the speed wheel. I especially liked choosing any car to race. I’m a beginner and still enjoyed the game.

   How cool is this game, i really enjoy it, one thing that is not mentioned above is the online multiplayer races. I love them and i am really addicted, the missions are all achieveable and are all ranked in classifications from Easy, Normal and Hard deplicted by 3,2 or 1 star. The price is a snip for what you get back in content. Will be playing this for some time yet.

   Indy500 Evolutions is already several years old by the time I picked up this game. I expected older graphics, and from the mixed reviews I assumed it would be a nostalgia pickup with little play value. After all, I have had Forza 4 for a while now, and am eagerly awaiting Forza 5 when Indycar racing returns to console!This brings us to this purchase: unable to wait for my open wheel fix, I saw this little game for xBox360. I am really glad I did. While the graphics are dated, I found that one reviewers description of the accurate physics and having to learn to drive these cars for what they are to be very accurate. After 3-4 practice laps I was turning laps reliably, and competitive! Then came the variable of the other cars: 33 of them! I had no issues with AI making silly cuts, and was able to race wheel to wheel! Btw, I struggle with most games, not an expert. I learned really quickly that banging into other cars results in lots of lost places; but I found myself pulled in by the challenge to race clean. All to often in other games I win by bruising my way to the front. Not so here. Thankfully, they have a restart race option so I can redeem myself after a last lap 1st to worst! I found myself missing 2 hours without realizing the time passed! That is, to me, the essence of video gaming: to lose yourself in another world for a few minutes or hours, and come back completely happy.This game is by now marked down significantly. I would imagine if you are reading these reviews.

   First off, it’s a bargain title, so don’t comein expecting Gran Turismo 5 or Forza 3. That being said, this is a fairly good racing title. It’s fun to run the old tracks (including my favorite and old home track, Riverside!) with the old USAC cars. Indy Roadsters, Gurney Eagles, Lolas, Mclarens, Granatelli Turbines, Lotus’, etc. It’s a nice history lesson, trying to drive around tracks that modern indycars can take at full throttle and realizing that there’s no down force and the tires aren’t as wide or sticky as modern tires.Overall, it’s a great game. The graphics are decent. Not stellar. But the gameplay is good if you’re patient!

   To Be Simple – March 31, 2023

   Indianapolis 500 Evolution, published by Destineer, and developed by acclaimed racing developer Brain in a Jar, is a game that covers Indycar racing from 1961-1971. I am sure that some people will dismiss this game based on its budget pricing and lack of cutting-edge graphics. However, this game is a tremendous accomplishment in terms of bringing an exciting era of Indycar racing to the Xbox 360.First off, this game is not for people who only want a simplistic arcade-style experience. The handling here is realistic and requires a steady hand and knowledge of how to draft and race in close quarters. There are three difficulty levels. Even on the medium level it is not easy to simply go out and qualify first every race and then win. The hardest difficulty level is very tough, as any mistakes will result in a loss. That is the way Indycar racing should be, though.Users can do a quick race from any of the eleven years between 1961-1971, using one of the actual drivers, in their actual car. There are a ton of drivers included. Andretti, Dallenbach, Brabham, Ward, Foyt, and Unser are but a few of the racing greats in this game. There is also a career mode that covers all eleven seasons. Credits are earned throughout the career to upgrade equipment. There is even the ability to mix and match chassis, gearboxes, and engines from different years. Each season includes the Indy 500 race, with the correct unique qualifying process of the Indy 500 (Bump Day included). Season scoring is tr.

    Love the historical accuracy of this game, not the easiest to play, steering is very sensitive so there’s a bit of a learning curve.
