Man this game rocks! Way better than PGR in my mind. I almost crapped my pants when I saw a herd of Zebra run by in the desert track I'll post back later when I've played for more than 30 min :P

Funny. That should be contained in the promos for the game.


-Rallisport Challenge-

"Stunning visuals!" - EGM

"Amazingly detailed vehicles and landscapes!" - Gamepro

"I almost crapped my pants!" - Some guy on a message board

[Huckleberry]

fortunately i read this thread before playing my shiny new copy of rallisport. i called saturday night live, ordered a box of "Oops, I crapped my pants", and was all prepared for my first sight of zebra herds.

this game is awesome...i grew up driving on gravel roads in rural illinois during the time when daisy duke was keeping me up nights. now i live in a concrete and blacktop wasteland. this takes me back to the days of 4 wheel drifts, bootleg reverses, and jumping my parent's car over any little bump i could get airborne from.

...great game...!

I just got rallisport and i must say its fun,hard but fun.i only played it for 20 min so far and i think its a good game to pick and play.ice racing is really cool making the a$$ end of the car slid all around.just good old fun.

[AlBoogy]

Thanx for your early impressions gregg. Dont pay any attention to that moron, every post is about someones mom. He will be out of here before you know it.

[JADE8704]

i must say, i think this forum is losing alot of maturity with the recent new comers(not all of them)...i hope the mods do something about this...and for the people who have just come in around Feb.-March, this is the best xbox site on the web, and the forumers here are the best and most unique of all the xbox related websites...so please, if you're going to post something immature and disrespectful, do it somewhere else

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Tru, i see what you're saying, but everyone knows that we are more mature, but you also know that not everyone can get along.

Anyways back to the post. I think RaliSport is great game, and it has definately made it on my "Must Have" list!

P.S. Finally ***spot.......oh my bad i mean Gamespot finally recognized greatness when they see it, and gave RaliSport a 9.1!

Untill next time, the GRAVEDIGGER has spoken

[Kero]

wow!
it must be amazing!
whenever you see a 9+ game from gamespot, you know it's a must get
and it got a 10 for graphics
they didn't even give halo a 10 for graphics!!!
this game must look freakin nice

[doctorrevill]

I picked Rallisport up today as well, and there is this downhill section on one of the Pacific courses that is amazing. You go from a nice wide road to one that is basically just wide enough for your car. I geared my car for top speed and was in 4th place going into that section and I must say the thrill of overtaking at 150mph is amazing in that section. One mistake and you lose it too, I hit a rock in that section once that sent my flying down a ravine, the replay was absolutely amazing too. I can't glow enough about this game, if you like to race you must own this game. I don't think I will ever unload this one, this is one I can see me playing in a couple years down the road, just like the original Sega Rally for Saturn. Whew. I just just wish I had gotten some sleep today, work is gonna be a *****.

See Rallying in the USA June 1 and 2, 2002 in Wellsboro, PA. Near US Route 6.

Oh, dudes!!!!!!!! I bought Rallisport after work today and I seriously cannot stop playing this game!!!!!! This is a MUST HAVE!!

Let me put it this way: If you liked Project Gotham Racing, you will LOVE Rallisport Challenge!

The graphics are insanse! And the gameplay...oh man....THE GAMEPLAY is SWEET! It's so realistic! The car handles with the different terrain...very realistic feature.

The car damage is great, too! Everything from dented bodies to broken glass...and check this: As you continue racing on gravel, for example, the car slowly gets dirty! And, by the time you are finished with the race, your car is filthy! It's so gradual that you won't even notice while the dust and dirt are caking on!

This game is a must have! On my new HDTV Widescreen, the game is exceptionally breathtaking! The detail is so immense!

The game is not too hard to learn, especially for those who have played PGR...but, I will say that the handling seems a little nicer...the graphics, in my opinion, are even better than PGR, though, I still am a PGR fan.

Also, what I really like about it is that the dude sitting next to you gives you instructions on what lies ahead...and he tells you with perfect timing!! This is an awesome feature! You have to see for yourself to really get the full effect. Of course, you can turn his voice completely off if you like, but, I prefer it, atleast for now

Personally, I give this game a 9.5 out of 10!! My only qualm about the game is that it is not System Link compatible, however, it is 4-player compatible via split screen gaming. Otherwise, this game would have received a perfect 10!!

To me, it's the "Halo" of Racing games!!! And, coming from me, since I am a HUGE fan of Halo, that is an extremely great compliment! I will conduct a review after I put in about 10 hours into it...so, that gives me about 2 more hours to go!! lol

BUY IT!!!

[linkycat]

I checked out this title today.... AWESOME GAME. I'm not a huge racing fan, but I love me some Rallisport Challenge.

Seriously folks, run, don't walk to the closest video game store and pick this sucker up. I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

That's my point of view... I could be wrong.

Rallisport is sweet. The textures on the ice track are unreal!

[Dub]

I always like to see what most gamers thing about a game before I go get it and Rallisport souds like a must have. I like PGR, but this game sounds better. I'll have to cop my copy today.

[Spaztic]

hey maximus thanks for posting the same thing twice! Your point really stuck with me after reading your post again!

what gamespot has to say:

It's somewhat noteworthy that the Xbox is only a few months old, and yet, it already has no fewer than 10 driving games available for it. However, none of those games deserve your attention as much as RalliSport Challenge does. This is easily the best driving game currently available for the Xbox, and no Xbox owner should be caught without it.

...if gamespot said this it must be good.

I saw it for awile the other night! picking up my copy today! This game is unbelieveable!

I'm glad to see after a few months after launch. Games are starting to look better. Well, in the eyes of gamespot at least. UFC Tapout, JSRF and now RSC got some decent scores lately.

lol, bryanhls! Dude, actually, I see that the Mods combined two threads to make this into one, since it appears that it's the "Official" Rallisport Thread. I posted my first one in the General Forum and I saw this "Official" one, too...so, I copied what I had to say and didn't go back to edit my first one. Anyway...looooong store!

Just get Rallisport!!!! It's Sweet!!!!

[stewy_gt]

The time has finally come, and now we can experience the driving excitement. Gamespot.com, the site that widely accepted to be biased towards the Xbox has made their review (9.2). I wonder what happened? If gamespot gave it a 9.2, that means this game is good, very good. Another Halo, but in the form of racing. To me, this is the 3rd game that shows the power of the Xbox. Halo, DOA3 and RSC. Everyone should get this game, find the money.

[studepaber]

this is true no? if not then what game is? and don't say GT3 b/c I used to be in love with the game but now I've found a new love.
