NIRA Intense Import Drag Racing

''NIRA Intense Import Drag Racing'' is a drag racing simulation video game developed and published by Bethesda Softworks.

Reception

IGN rated the game a 7 of 10 saying "Overall, the game designers did a good job with ''NIRA Intense Import Drag Racing''. I didn't like it quite as much as ''Burnout: Championship Drag Racing'', but it was fun and it did keep me coming back for more, at least for a while. The only big problem with the game is the graphics and sound aren't up to par with other modern racers, and that it's a niche title that appeals to hardcore drag racing fans and may alienate the average gamer who's just looking for some quick fun. Intense Import does have a high learning curve, so expect to spend some time exploring all of the aspects of the game. But if you do have the patience for it, you'll be rewarded with a drag racing game that's surprisingly fun and entertaining."

Stephen Poole of GameSpot rated the game a 6.4 of 10 saying "However, it turns out that ''NIRA Intense Import Drag Racing'' is little more than an add-on pack for ''Hot Rod Championship Drag Racing'' designed to run as a stand-alone product. I'm thankful that Bethesda at least kept the sticker price low ($19.95), but the bottom line is that everything that had kept Hot Rod from introducing drag racing to the gaming masses is still alive and kicking in this latest incarnation".
