Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

Re: Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

Any other OS staffers that need to come to Terry's rescue? I thought I could give my opinion here about the review that was given. Anyway, back to my original point, what the heck is a 2/5 score. The other reviews I have seen on this site are ranked out of 100. Given this context, 2/5 tells me that this game gets a 40% mark which clearly tells the reader- this game is a piece of crap. Such a commentary on the game is so completely out of line with other reviews that I must infer that it is incorrect. In all honesty, if Terry doesn't like the game because he prefers a sim, then give it a 70 to at least acknowledge the good points of the game. I hope I'm not ambushed by OS staff now for these comments. Remember, this thread has been opened to invite us to voice our opinions on this review.

Re: Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

I have only two complanints about RalliSport Challenge. You can beat the snot out of the car and it wont change how it reacts on the track. Its not real but thats not stopping me from enjoying the game for what it is. My other complaint about the game is that the tracks go get repeative. But they are so well built i can over look it.

Why do noobs put so much emotion into a NUMBER. He clearly stated if you are into arcade racing, you'd assess it around a 4. Your probably one of those people who counts every xbox game on gamerankings and uses that to troll forums or something.

PS - The reviews aren't out of 100 because of whiners like you.

Re: Our RalliSport Challenge 2 Review

This reviewer (Terry) obviously has one big problem....he takes himself too seriously. I've played tons of racing games and only a handful have been better than Rallisport Challenge 2. The time attack mode alone offers hundreds of hours or racing addiction because it allows you to raise your overall ranking on Xbox Live. The challenge of sliding through turn after turn to improve you times is beyond addictive, and fun. I just don't get this review at all. A 2/5?? That score does not reflect the quality of the game, or the fun and challeng offered. I give the review a 2/5.

everyone has different taste, some people actually like the EA Nascar series, but I can't stand the handling of the cars...I prefer a more realistic racing model. This is Operation Sports, meant for more 'hardcore' sports gamers. The reviewers are harder on sports titles. Madden and ESPN Football get brought through the ringer because people that visit this site are sports fans that want detail. Terry just did the same thing with Rallisport Challenge 2, reviewing it as a sports gamer, rather than just a casual racing fan.

Also, anyone who puts huge stock in rating values isn't getting the best advice, IMO. Read the review, he said that an arcade racing fan would give it a 4, so he qualified his review score. I'd much rather read a review like this than one that doesn't mention anything of substance and just gives a game a 90%. We all don't like the same things, read the review and form your own opinion.

Just my 2 cents, i've seen reviewers catch way too much flak, most of it undeserved.

I should have known someone like yourself would post something like this. Anyway, Erv, I can assure you that I didn't put half as much emotion into my post as you put into yours. At least I didn't resort to name calling. By the way, noobs is not a word. I'll assume you meant knobs. Rather than respond in detail, I'll let the intelligent people who read these boards judge the quality and value of your post.
