 AVault | PC | IndyCar Series Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
IndyCar Series is primarily a virtual version of the IRL’s season, although the Indianapolis 500, the year’s keystone event, can be played by itself.
IndyCar Series does a good job of putting virtual drivers into the full atmosphere of a professional race.
If you set the physics and damage mechanics to their most difficult level, there are no automatic aids to keep your position in the qualifying order during the so-called “rolling start” lap or to make sure you don’t run into other cars while pitting.

 IndyCar Series for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 IndyCar Series Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Fortunately, the game is successful in capturing the essence of the sport, with its emphasis on strategic driving and having steady nerves when racing in the pack, but it's not an entirely realistic re-creation of the sport--newcomers can almost immediately jump right into the game's hardest difficulty setting and compete reasonably well.
The IndyCar Series lets you participate in a full season (15 races) of IndyCar racing where you can work up through the ranks over the course of the season by performing well in races.
But most importantly, the frame rate in the Xbox version of IndyCar Series is much higher and tends to be steadier than the frame rate in the PlayStation 2 version, which is lower and tends to stutter a little when there are several cars on the screen at once.

 IndyCar Series 2005 (Xbox) Reviews. Xbox Games Reviews by CNET.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
IndyCar Series 2005 is Codemasters' second officially licensed IndyCar game and, despite the fact that a PS2 version will be released in Europe, it's exclusive to the Xbox in North America--at least for the moment.
All 15 of the circuits used in the latest IndyCar season are featured in the game but, while no two of them are the same, you won't be surprised to learn that they offer very little in terms of variety when compared to other racing games.
IndyCar Series 2005, unfortunately, does very little to combat this, so if you're unlucky enough to find yourself in a race with punks who get their kicks by parking in the middle of the circuit or by racing backward, you're basically going to have your race ruined.

IndyCar Series is a game that will appeal to fans of the sport who aren't looking for a strict simulation, but the lack of depth to the modes will only make it worth a rental for most.

The Indianapolis 500 option lets you jump right into IndyCar's most prestigious racing event, but unlike with most of the other races in the game, you actually have to qualify in order to compete.
