If You Can Get It to Work It is Great

Rallisport Challenge for the PC platform was as with the name a challenge to get working with the computer setups I had used, but once done Wow what a beautiful game, the graphics are fantastic. The challenges the courses give are numerous and are given in a well progressed order leading to a great play time/software play return ratio.

With the comments above you would expect this product to be readily available in some of the major store chains in Southern California. It is has not been at the time of this writing.

The challenge part of getting to work properly on a PC might have been part of the problem. The game I suspect was originally developed for a platform other than the PC and then converted. Because of problems with such a conversion the marketing and effort to get it to the PC world may have fallen a little short.

One of the splash screens this game starts with is a NVidia 'The way it is meant to be played'. Try this with an Ge Force Mx4000 and you are going to have problems with ice racing unless you turn off the antilansing.

To get the program to work properly on my machine I had to turn off all the McAfee programs associated with computer security I was using.

Is it worth going through some effort to get this game working on your machine given what else is out there? Compared to the other motor sport games out there is none that have quality of graphics combined with game play this one has in my experience (Need for Speed, Colin McRae, and EA Sports).

This is a three CD set game. The price at this writing is about ten dollars. If you are not afraid to play around with things a bit to get them to work this would be a good one to get. Although it is a toll call you can still get technical support on this product.

Best Rally Game EVER!

I was a little skeptical about this game because I hadn't heard much about it, but this is the most detailed and realistic game out there. You do need a hefty video card though, I use a 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 with no flaws. It is definitely recommended if you have a 1Ghz processor or better for this game to run good. The car models are better than Playstation2 quality (gran turismo 3) and there is a huge car selection. Great game for everyone.

Not what I expected.....

I am disappointed..., great graphics, but to me, that's about it. They have the sound close, but not close enough, there is a very vauge car setup screen, and the cars really don't handle that well. Put it this way, I was driving one car on a track that had some long streight streches. I assumed that it would be best to have the "tall" gear setting for this. I assumed that I would still be pulling higher sppeds before I had to slam on the breaks, but no. The engine revved out WAY before the next turn. Not nearly enough car settings. But it is multi-player "A+". I think they could have done better. But again, the graphics, especially the ice tracks, are pure art!

Good but not perfect!

This game is good but still I feel there is a little bit lag time (around 1/5 second) between my Logitech MOMO Force Feedback Wheel USB and the wheel from the game. I also own a NASCAR 2003 SEASON. Compare with these two games, I like NASCAR 2003 SEASON more because it has no steeling wheel lag time.

The graphic is good and clear, easy to manage option setting and the fast racing mode which I like most whenever I have a few minutes to spend before I go out for a dinner with my girlfriend. :)

Anyway, forom the price to the game, this is "almost" a must own game. If you are very tricky racing gamer, you can also concider NASCAR 2003 SEASON which is the best game that I played so far.

Ultimately disappointing

This console (X-Box) port results in slick graphics, annoying music and unrealistic physics. The intensity, the hair-raising stress of on-the-edge racing is completely missing. If you think this is a 5 star racing sim, you should get out more often!

One of the better looking !!

This game shows some brilliant visuals just because of its advancement in graphics technology, but its somewhat shameful that it couldn`t deliver graphics that could beat the less advanced Playstation2.
The smoke and dust effects aren`t upto mark, not even equal to Ps2`s Gran Turismo 3 which isn`t at all a full pledged Rally game.
I give it 4 stars because of the vertex and pixel shading utilisation to a large extent.

RalliSport is Superb

The graphics are beautiful. You'll need a strong pc. With the microsoft usb force feed back wheel, this is the best driving game out there (nascar is boring). Get used to playing the AI. There are no game servers that support online play, at least none that I found. Not even microsofts gaming zone. Game does support IP to IP. IcQ me for a race 10814584

Heard of Richard Burns Rally?

Colin McRae is totally arcade and NON-REALISTIC rally game. Its ridiculous as to how many times you can totally pound up your car and you axle will not give out. In the trailers they had the races seem like real thrill with the actual car turning end over end but in the real game the car is like a solid rock, pulverizing everything in its path. BUT you cannot hit those American speed limit signs, they are made out of concrete or something and will stop a 160mph car flying down the tarmac roads.

Besides Colin McRae Rally being totally unrealistic its a fun game as an arcade game, like that of Need for Speed Underground, but its nothing near the physics in Forza Motorsports for Xbox or the GT series for PS2.

I am VERY surprised as to why there does not exist a realistic simulator for driving for PC while the consoles are taking all the fun... Maybe they figure people with PC also have consoles or perhaps the PC is not made for realistic sims...

In conclusion, Richard Burns Rally>>>Colin McRae>>> Rallisport Challenge>>> Need for Speed (anything, well, besides Porsche unleashed)

RaliSport Challenge is Awesome
