RalliSport Challenge 2 Critic Reviews

There is a huge single player career to play through with a tremendous variety of locations and courses, the graphics are so good that no description could do them justice and the handling is perfect, making for a supremely enjoyable gaming experience.

This must-have sequel includes more than 40 cars, 90 courses from Australia to the frozen North and, for the first time, online play. Amazing graphics provide plenty of scenery to chew up as you race over mountains, across deserts, and through the mud.

Probably the best racer currently on the Xbox. While the game does have a few flaws here and there, if you have any interest in racing at all, don't look any further than this.

Sim purists will still want to get their "Colin McRae" on, but those looking for a fun and challenging rally racer that bends the rules in favor of fun will want to make RSC 2 a permanent addition to their Xbox library.

One of the greatest racing games I have ever played. it has a perfect balance between arcade and simulation. Combining breathtaking graphics, with incredible game play.

When the dust settles, RalliSport Challenge 2 is the best racing game that I have ever played. It combines awesome graphics with incredible gameplay.

I love this game. There's just something about your car flipping end over end 5 or six times that brings a great big smile to my face! This is also the first racing game that I have actually saved a replay to the HDD because I had such an awesome wreck in it!

It's easy to pick up, great to look at, and has plenty of variation to keep it interesting.

The only glaring flaw throughout the entire title is the lack of a damage system that has actual consequences; meanwhile the rest of the game may as well serve as the benchmark that future rally racing game designers should aspire to.

It combines easy to play arcade racing with brilliant graphics, loads of variety and game play time, realistic sound, excellent multiplayer support and in depth car setup for those who wish to use it.

The game's damage model has also been vastly improved.

Barring the slight audio and Live issues, I have no qualms with RC 2.

Having improved on virtually every aspect of the original, as well as adding 16-player Xbox Live support, RalliSport Challenge 2 (RC2) is set to move out of the basement and be this year's full-fledged off-road racing blockbuster.

This is just a fantastic game and I hope people can look past its arcade racing roots.

Those who struggled to get to grips with the original game will be delighted to know the handling has been rebalanced to allow for greater accessability.

The end result is an engrossing racing experience - one which draws upon both the simulation and arcade ends of the racing spectrum and balances them perfectly in order to provide the most enjoyable rally racing experience on the Xbox.

Rallisport Challenge 2 isn't just a sequel--it is easily one of the most purely pleasurable driving experiences you're likely to encounter on any platform.

More cars, more tracks, more modes and some of the most impressive graphics the Xbox has ever produced.

I haven't had this much fun playing a racer in a long time. Heck, my flatmate and I enjoyed it so much we went off and bought a new Xbox rather than be separated from the game when it came to time to return the box I'd borrowed to review this game on. It's that good.

While the visuals and hefty number of cars stand out quickly, the first thing I noticed was the special attention developer DICE paid to tweaking the handling. Cars are now more responsive and there's a much greater sense of control overall.
