Customer Reviews:
Alot of fun for your $, July 5, 2001
Reviewer: A gamer from St Charles, MO United States
I found this game to be very exciting, different and a lot of fun. Some people find the cars hard to control but if you watch the video clip you will find out that rally driving is not easy! Some of the car models are not familar makes in the U.S. but each car has its own driving character. The game has great scenery and excellent "damage simulation". It gives you races in all types of terrain and weather (even a fun night time race where your headlights illuminate the path.) Racers are given track terrain and weather type before each race. The game defaults to the transmission, tire, braking and suspension type most beneficial for the race environment. You can change these if you want to. Instead of a map you are given directional arrows and symbols for upcoming turns and hazards and your co-pilot also announces what is coming up. There are 5 levels of expertise to keep the game challenging. The game also offers an awesome camera from inside the car which is great during replay. I have all the well known race simulators but this game is one I always come back to. My only complaint is that the opponents are really hard to beat! If you are looking for a fun, simple little simulator and want to get off the race track then I recommend this one.

The cars don't look real. They didn't handle worth a darn. Graphics need serious help. Wasn't worth the money.
