  2. Jun 16, 2003 IndyCar Series is a game that will appeal to fans of the sport who aren't looking for a strict simulation, but the lack of depth to the modes will only make it worth a rental for most.

We've done the gags in Reality Check so let's crack on with the facts. Indy Car Racing is a bastard hybrid of Formula One and NASCAR, and IndyCar Series (made in Cheshire) is a comprehensive simulation of the popular American sport. And while much of the marketing has been aimed towards our Stateside allies, it shouldn't be dismissed over here simply because we know nothing about the sport.

All you really need to know is that the cars travel in excess of 230mph on a series of left-hand ovals, and that the races are very, very long. Naturally, truncated versions are on offer here - from 10 laps and upwards - and it is wise to start with reduced length races, unless of course you are serving a medium to long-term custodial sentence. IndyCar Series falls comfortably into the genre of 'Prison Gaming', in so much that nobody outside of Her Majesty's Pleasure will be able to find enough hours in the day to enjoy it to the full.

Indycar Series Game

In easy mode, your car is invulnerable and you can largely bludgeon your way to the front. But it's a measure of how much respect the game instills that you won't want to, preferring instead to wait for an opening and use skill and timing. Split-second precision is called for, as the speed of the game is impressive, with the scenery flashing past in a mildly terrifying blur.

Clearly a labour of love, the attention to detail is almost perverse, with one of the circuits offering less downforce and slipstreaming due to it being a mile above sea level. The realism continues under the bonnet, and almost every aspect can be tweaked, assuming of course you're a fully trained mechanic. Laden with extras, including a Masterclass and unlockable footage of the history of the sport, there is enough here to make you go blind. Not everyone's bag admittedly, but if you accept the challenge of the mind-numbing action, it's oddly satisfying. Skeeter, pass me the horse tranquilliser.
