Sega Rally Championship 2

"Rally Different Ages Mixing... good."

This rally game is pure rally. Very good rally gaming, and if you remember that this game was the first game excluding Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast, it's harder to believe, but this game is the better rally simulation you'll see on sale.

Graphics-9/10

OK, they could be better if the game had been done now, but remember, this was the first game for Dreamcast! An excellent way to start the graphic work. And for rallies it suits well.

Gameplay-10/10

The game is really fun. Lots of tracks to explore, including new superb game modes. And the hidden cars are rather hard to unlock. The car management is quite realistic, and the button display is good. The time ranking on internet is great, pity that it closed.

Story-NONE

Well... you are a rally driver, and you have to win the championship... surprised?

Audio-10/10

The sound effects are good. The brake effects are pretty good and the motor sounds are even better. The co-driver helps are good and the music is helpful and nice. And you can change them on Options if you thing they're not on the correct place.

Video-8/10

When you see the intro, you will get really impressed with the video. And there are the podiums when you finish the arcade or one of the 10 championship years. The videos are cool, but not as great as the other Dreamcast titles. Why? Check the date...

Replay ability-10/10

Good and nice. With so many set-ups for the cars, so many cars and lots of tracks and championship years to get and win, so don't think that you will sell this game quickly, like almost all of the other rally simulations.

Buy or rent?

Buy. There are so many cars to unlock, so many tracks to explore and so many set-ups for the cars, that it will be a crime if you rent this game. Well, if you buy the game right after that... it will not be a crime.

The game is cool, nice for a rally game and the best gravel driving simulation out there. If you buy this one, probably you won't get frustrated easily. And you have 7 character to input your name. Cool, heh? But that doesn't matter. You are a veteran rally fan and you love to revive Lancia 037 Rally or Fiat 131 Abarth times, buy this game. Don't forget that although there are the real cars, the tracks are fake, but they're always cool and nice to play on them.
