IRL 2000 fits nicely between the average NASCAR 2000 and the excellent F1 World Grand Prix. The game is more arcade like than both those games, but the sense of speed and impressive sound make it very enjoyable to play. And even though it has arcade type physics to the game, it is hard to master as the competition is very aggressive. It is a nice "change of pace" game from F1 World Grand Prix and a definite plus to superspeedway driving for those of you disappointed with NASCAR 2000.
