    Another failing of the game is the online mode. Like most non-mainstream online games, the problem with including online modes is that there might not be enough people playing to justify buying it for that very purpose. I sat with the only created room in the server for twenty minutes, and not a single soul joined, let alone the maximum of eight. Read more

    • Great attention to detail., Smart graphics., Enough to keep you busy for a while (if you persevere).
    • Too “techy” for mainstream gamers with too much fiddling., The actual racing is too mediocre., Nothing but oval circuits (yawn)., Very tough AI., Fails to put right th...

    IndyCar Series 2005 isn’t quite like any other racing game I have ever played. Like Gran Turismo it is extremely true to the sport but unlike Gran Turismo it is very hard to just pick up and play. But fret not, after the first hour or so the game is very enjoyable. Read more

    Despite a lack of interest in Europe, Codemasters' IndyCar Series makes a reappearance this year in the form of IndyCar Series 2005 . But this year the big problem remains; the game is based on an American sport which does not see wide appeal outside its homeland. This means that to be successful the game needs to stand out through its qualities. IndyCar Series 2005 is an improvement, although the changes are minimal. Read more

    If you live in the USA, as a racing fan you may well see IndyCar racing as the ultimate speed on track fix and although there is a number of racing series, IndyCar is perceived as the biggest and the best. European racers see F1 as the ultimate and comments from Euro speedsters that IndyCars is more about racing around oval tracks with loads of crashes is a rather jaundiced view, although everyone will agree that the Indy 500 is high, if not top, of the list of one off...

    8.0/10
    Reviewer: PS3 Game Reviews

    To most Euro console racers, the appeal of playing out an entire season driving round in counter-clockwise circles must be limited. To dismiss Indycar 2005 however, would be to miss out on an absorbing and deep racing simulation. Read more
