FIRE THE FIRST PIXELS! by Phil Burgess
Every drag racing fan knows that what goes on for those few glorious seconds on the quarter-mile is just the final reflection of hours spent in the pits fine-tuning dozens of adjustments to compensate for track and weather conditions. Now there's an entry-level opportunity for fans and foes alike to discover the mechanical complexity of the sport as well as the vicarious thrill of piloting a 330-mph hot rod down that thin ribbon of concrete and asphalt. ND's resident gaming expert, Editorial Director Phil Burgess, previews and reviews the hotly anticipated NHRA drag racing game for PS2. (page 18)
