Well your first order of business would be to buy a grammar guide... As for your question, I guess just wait till 09 since it comes out in about 4 months.

Yea even though 08 is so much fun and all, in 4 months when 09 comes out you will be like damn I shouldn't have wasted my 50 bucks or how ever much it is on 08.

I was about to post something to the same effect, haha. I thought Nascar 08 was an all time low for EA, it went way off of the good Nascar games like Chase for the Cup.

NASCAR games have completely gone down the $#&% hole... Ever since NASCAR 2005, I have refused to buy another NASCAR game unless I see some drastic improvement...

For anyone that doesn't know, the demo came out for Nascar 09. It's way better than Nascar 08, you can tell in the first 5 seconds that the game play is much improved. The only complaint I have is that I wish there was a camera view that zooms out a tad more on the car. I hate having my car so close up, but it's really just a personal problem.

Well that's good news, I'm like Xx_Anywhere13, where I think that EA has completely destroyed NASCAR gaming ever since about 2005. It's a pretty big disappointment being a race fan, too. I have seen a few commercials over the weekend (actually while watching the Sprint Cup yesterday) and it does look like an improvement, but I'm gonna probably rent it before putting some real dollars into another crappy race game.

I'm kind of waiting on IGN's review on it before I do much. I'm a huge race fan, and after 2005 things just went down hill for EA and the Nascar franchise. I'm really hoping that this game brings it back up to what it once was.

Well the franchise itself is certainly on a revival path I think, but not so much with the game, sadly. IGN's review was pretty unfavorable. I downloaded the demo and think I'll have to agree -- it's a big snoozefest.

Luckily this failure has been headlined with Jeff Gordon and not someone more awesome like... Kyle Busch.

Personally I think IGN was a little rough on Nascar 09. Yes, the spotters are terribly inaccurate as always, but the graphics and playability are way up from last game. Game Informer gave Nascar an 8, which is right around where I'd put it. There are still things to work on though....
