World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars is a lot like a NASCAR game, both are games that just kind of showed up to the party – no chips, no dip, no ice, no nothing, not even materials to make a balloon animal. That’s a real shame, who wouldn’t like a game where you get to slide cars around a quarter mile oval in the midst of 23 other drivers (7 in online multiplayer – if there are 7 other people online playing this game when you are)?

I know I was kind of looking forward to it. Some of my favorite racers have allowed me to get sideways. You can get sideways in this one almost too easily; the problem is that’s not really fun. I hate games I’ve got to work to be good at and never really give me a glimpse of the fun I’ll have once I am good.

You’ve got 3 racing options in the game – arcade, career, and multiplayer. All pretty self-explanatory, I’d say. There was only one other person on XBOX Live when I tried getting a game, so about 3 months after this game launched, you’re already not buying this game for its online multiplayer community, you’re buying it for career mode.

Nothing’s really out of the ordinary in this game’s career mode, all you really need to do is race, win, buy better parts again, and race some more. There’s also car customization, but that’s so simple it’s almost criminal to call it customization with games like Forza Motorsports 3 out there.

There is a new effect for the camera – it shakes. Well, I guess in a first-person point of view you see everything shake as opposed to just the vehicles shaking from a third-person point of view. WoO: SC takes the way a first-person shake looks and applies it to every single way you can look where you’re going. It’s a far better way to put you in the game than just making you feel as though you’re driving a remote controlled car.

Also, all racing games going forward should adopt the tear-off. In the racing world, they’re a replacement for the squeegee. They are a sheet of plastic that goes on either a helmet’s visor or a vehicle windshield that can quickly be tore off to leave you looking through an unobstructed windshield or visor.

This too, feels like something to enhance the feel of driving the car as opposed to pushing a remote controlled car to its limits.

We’re not here for any of that, though, the answer is that it is largely accessible enough. Unless you’re playing with one hand or you’ve got motor issues in your hands, this is a game you shouldn’t really have any problems with.

There’s a lot of precision driving to be done to keep your sprint car from running into another car, into a guardrail, or off the track – sprint car racing is the perfect mess needed for precision driving.

There’s nothing in the game that you hear that is really relative that you won’t be given to read about or at least see, i.e. when a flag is waved on the racetrack.

No subtitles, only 2 controller configurations to choose from, no changing the difficulty, not really much to do to make it accessible at all. Allowing for only 2 controller configurations was probably done to make it easier to port from XBOX to PlayStation as one is the standard XBOX layout and the other is standard for PlayStation.
