Rally Cross 2

"A very deceiving game that could of offered so much more."

I'll review the most important aspects of a racing game:

Controls: Beurk! Probably the worst for a racing game. Its more like a 360 fiesta than anything else. Even after several hours of practice, the turns don't seem a bit easier. Just turning a little bit too much cause you too spin around like crazy. They should haves used the same engine than R4, it would of definetly well matched with a rally game. Very frustrating. Total: 2/10

Graphics: The visual aspect of the game isn't horrible, but it dosen't even come close to rivalising with high quality games such as Gran turismo, R4 and NFS: High stakes. Overall everything is too pixelated, bland and unimpressive. Total: 5/10

Sound: Sigh... The music and sound effects are just boring and depressive. The engines sound like constipated bee's, but it match's well with the rest of the game, because it is mediocre. Play with the sound off is my advice. Total: 4/10

Value: Well... Its not totally worthless since you have the create a track mode that is quite fun at first but that wears off a while. There isn't many cars(compared to gran turismo and R4) and the game is so frustrating that you probably won't have the courage to race that much to get a new one. Definetly not worth a buy, but a good enough rental. Total: 6/10

Two player mode: Once again, because of the create a track mode, it isn't horrible but it wares off shortly so don't expect nothing great. The fun will last one or two days... Then you'll be back to playing any quality racer you have. Total: 5/10
