In Beat the Heat challenges, players can take on all-new racing scenarios that capture all the thrills, drama, and split-second decisions of real race-day moments. In Race the Pro, players try to outrun the best in the sport by racing against "phantom" cars driven by real NASCAR Winston Cup drivers. The power of NASCAR Heat and Xbox provides racing fans with "photo-realistic graphics." This term is used to describe the ability to take a screen shot from the game, hold it up against a photo of the exact same image and have difficulty noticing a difference between the two. Inessence, blurring the line between fantasy and reality and providing the most realistic NASCAR console game ever. If you just want to pick your favorite driver and race at your favorite racetrack, NASCAR Heat will give you that option and you can race against the best competition out there in either a very deep simulation mode, or a fun drop-in and race arcade mode.
