RalliSport Challenge 2....

[Grondar]

RalliSport Challenge 2 is going to be released soon, and I am just wondering if anyone is planning on checking it out?

I haven't played the first, and am not familiar with the game and its engine, but was thinking some here are excited about the games release?

If so, what are you looking forward to, and why are you going to check it out?

Thanks!

Im picking it up. I loved the first and the XSN racing team support (4 racers per team) sounds awesome.

I've got it pre-ordered. The XSN functionality might make it surpass Links as the best XSN title.

A few excerpts:

>>>That sounds like a ridiculous amount of competitors for an off-road track, and it is, but some relief comes when more than four competitors are racing since collision detection is automatically turned off. When more than 4 racers are competing, the rest of the cars show up as wireframe models that can be passed through, making these events feel more like multiple ghost car racing events.<<<

Racing without collisions? That's complete bullsh*t.

>>>It’s hard for me to recommend this title to those that feel like they are die-hard race game fans because I know how unhappy they will be once they get their hands on it. You, the race game nut will have issues with the controls and with the way the modes induce crash-up derby-style driving. In contrast, it is very simple to recommend this game to anybody that is a mid-level or below racing game fan. There is mucho gameplay content, great online playability and features, and amazing graphics encoded on the RalliSport Challenge disc, making it one of the more entertaining racing games for the Xbox. RalliSport Challenge 2 is a near must-own for the aforementioned causal race gamer. Those of you who like the smell of exhaust fumes in the morning will want to give this one a quick rent before you give it the $50 blessing.<<<

This is a solid review, and it helps to confirm my decision to pass on this game. Sounds like Sega Rally 3 and little more. An arcade fest. TOCA 2 and Colin McRae Rally 04 will do just fine, thank you.

Plus I have a real hard time supporting an XSN title since MS decided to put the franchise on the shelf for a year. Why should I support XSN when MS isn't supporting sports gamers with XSN this fall and winter?

Take care,
PK

Re: RalliSport Challenge 2....

Ive heard a couple of things here PK. One is that the racing is exactly like the review said but another that when racing multiplayer that the collisions can be left on, but will cause a lot of problems with the number of people on the track.

Tracks being so narrow and not made for multiple cars will cause for some major collisions, so it sounds that most people will turn off collisions to go to the distorted graphics of the wireframe to race. I agree when i read about the wireframe it turned me off. Will have to wait to see some impressions before I plunk down the bucks to get this one.
