RalliSport Challenge

THE GOOD:
- The graphics

THE BAD:
- Bland boring tracks
- Awful car physics
- can become a chore

SUMMARY:
I rented this game from a local video rental. I read reviews saying this is a classic rally game that up there with colin mcrae so i thought yeah i'll have to check this out.

One thing that that i noticed immediatly from playing these compared to colin mcrae games and the ps2 world rally championship 2 is that the tracks are really boring! Yes the graphics are amazing, but i'm here to do rally than admire the friggin scenery. Theres just not enough turns! If anyone wants to see what i'm talking about get WRC2 on ps2 and race in corsica rally, greece and cyprus rallies. Theres so many turns that you'll be in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear for most of the rally. In Rallisport challenge theres hardly any turns at all, which means its not hard as colin mcrae or WRC2. For most of the time i spent...

SUMMARY:
Rallisport Challenge is one of the few racing games that is fun, rather than "a chore". As with Sega GT 2002, racing feel like something you have to do to get upgrades or new cars. This game is not so. Although you can't upgrade the parts, you do get cars, but it doesn't feel like a chore to get one.
Now on to the real game. You are a professional racer. You can race in various areas like the sahara, mountains, forests, yadda yadda. You race in the Career mode to race against already set records. you get so many points for completing the race, so many more for how much your car isn't damaged, top speed, and the bonus which is if you finished in the top three. Going too fast, though will cause the slightest bump to make you do barrel, rolls, flips and other fancy aerobatics. You can also do those same aerobatics...over cliffs. Don't worry, when your car gets...

THE GOOD:
graphics, course design, physics, variation, true to rally roots

THE BAD:
minor quips: very unforgiving (though that could be looked at as good based on realism), mostly racing against clock (which is also staying true to rally roots)

SUMMARY:
a rally enthusists wet dream! this game IS all things rally and probably the best display of it. hands down the best rally game thus far. definately fun but more importantly addictive.

THE GOOD:
- Graphics
- Audio
- Arcade Rally Game play at its finest
- Co-driver instructions
- Lots of camera angles

THE BAD:
- Particle effects could have been better
- No in-car camera angle
- Graphics

SUMMARY:
Before I start I’ll just say that up until 2 weeks ago I was an avid PS2 worshiper and would never have considered buying an Xbox. However, shortly after play Turok: Evolution on the PS2 I knew that if I wanted the best quality gameplay and graphics from a console that I’d need to upgrade to an Xbox.

Anyway, back to the review at hand. Quite frankly If you love rally then you’ll love RC. It is with a doubt the best ‘arcade’ rally game I have played and leaves GT3 rally mode on the PS2 in its dust. Crisp clear graphics are predominant throughout with textures becoming more detailed up close. Unlike GT3, RC has a flawless draw...

THE GOOD:
A realistic game that's also great fun to play. Great damage modeling. When your bored in a multiplayer just have a 'ramming off the cliff' match. Superb.

THE BAD:
Often some dodgy turns. Its too easy to teleport back on track, whenever you miss one turn you can teleport and its okay. That's not very good.

SUMMARY:
One of the first racers on the X-Box, Rallisport does not dissapoint. I was originally very dubious, as most realistic games turn out to be very boring. Not so here. Rallisport is incredibly realistic (right down to shattered windscreens), but is also a flippin' good laugh.

This was wrongly underhyped. In truth, it beats Gran Turismo 3 in every single aspect, but sadly, the lack fof publicity for it was criminally bad, this game is fantastic, but who knows about it?

There are tons of options to unlock, thankfully, as this gives an extra incentive to play more (X-Box motto...
