    Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

    We have just posted our RalliSport Challenge 2 review. Find out what Terry Crouch has to say about it.

    "One area that very few will find anything to complain about is the graphical detail in "Rallisport Challenge 2". Like its predecessor, it’s been built from the ground up to take advantage of the power of the Xbox, and it shows. Dust effects are beautiful, the rain splattering the windshield on a wet race is something to behold, and the car models themselves are drop-dead gorgeous. Once you get past the effects and the car models, you’ll see that a lot of the environments feel strangely familiar, however."

    Re: Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

    A 2 out of 5? Way off here. OS gave MTX and MX unleashed higher scores than this game and they aren't even close to the quality of this game. I don't see how anyone can give this game less than a 3 or 4 out 5. I would actually assess it around 4-4.5. It does error more to the arcade side of things, but I am really pleased with the "feedback" the cars give on the various road surfaces. I find the control tight and responsive. I think the car selection is excellent and track variety is great too. I have a blast especially with the rallycross and crossover tracks.

          I agree 100% with your review Terry. Excellent. I also like the addendum at the end on the type of racing gamer you are in explaining your score and the average gamer score. Nice touch. I agree whole heartedly with the score as well. It does so much I dislike as a racing gamer that I just cannot get into it. PGR2 and TOCA do so much more and better.

          Good to see you back on the review front.

                I think you guys should call this an opinion on the game not a review. A lot of subjectivity and very little objectivity. Seems like it really belongs in a forum than a posted review. 2 out of 5...how many POS games have had scores like that. I have been a long time reader and usually don't post, but I thought this review is doing a disservice to the game.

                      I have to agree. Do you realize what a 2/5 means? A great deal of effort has been put into this game and it plays very well. It may not be what you are looking for, but a 2/5 is not accurate in any manner. A 2/5 would perhaps be appropriate in grading your bias and subjective review. Very poor work here and not what I have come to expect from Operation Sports. A pitiful effort.

                            Very poor effort....Last two reviews (RSC2 and ESPN Baseball) that I've read have been very underwhelming. We'll always have the message boards at least...
