Introduction:
Welcome to NASCAR Unleashed. This is an arcade type racing game that has a NASCAR feel to it, even though most tracks are not NASCAR oval speedways. The game is a very easy completion and only the Time-Trials require a little but of effort. The game will be fun for a while, but became more of a chore for me to play. You can use two controllers for nearly any achievement you are struggling on, so keep that in mind.

Play Through the Championship Mode:
There are three sections of races in championship mode to complete, and each section gets a little bit tougher. Playing through this should get you nearly all of the achievements without even trying for them. Overall this will probably take you around 5 hours to complete and you should have little to no frustration depending on your skill with racing type games.

Quick-Race sessions:
Now load up quick races and knock out some of those achievements that require two people, you can just use two controllers and make sure your main profiles vehicle has everything going for each achievement.

Time-Trials:
Now you should be nearly complete with the game, you just have a few pesky time trials to complete. You need to achieve gold on each track and there is little room for mistakes on most of these. Avoid running into hazards and walls, and use your boosts as often as you can. There are not many tips I can give you, so just keep practicing.

Conclusion:
Overall this is an easy completion and I recommend it for somebody looking for a game to entertain them for the weekend or so. There is not much I can say about this game other than it becomes a chore very quickly, so keep that in mind before renting the easy completion.
