crab music options in rallisport

**Rochey69r** · 05-09-2002

in my opinion rallisport could have been a great game.
it has the best visuals i have seen in a car game.
great damage and handling of cars.

things that let it down:

29 cars. this is just weak. if you want a game that beats GT3 then you need at least 60 REAL cars.

poor music options. you can choose what songs you want in the main menu. but while in a race when you really wanna listen to say metallica - master of puppets you cant just go to music options and change it! you have no choice of what song is playing!

dissapearing act - when you go of track your car is reset magically on the middle again. you can only go off a certain distance b4 you are reset on the track. im sure most people wana have it so they know if they take a corner to hard and go off track they will pay for it! not just get reset back in the middle of the track!

there just had to get that off my chest!

make 60 cars. all customizable.

make the simple feature of being able to choose what music is playing.

and dont make the cars magically reset so kwikly!! or at least make an option!

I play rallisport challenge on my demo disc. That game don't impress me that much. It is fun though, if I was gonna get a racing game. I would wait until something better comes out. Late

I think they should also put more of a heart into it... i.e improve the reward for winning etc... not just have a cup rotating for example, basically put a bit more soul into it.

I do like this game loads though.

To do with the resetting of the car if you crash point:- when playing on normal skill level you still lose enough time to make winning that stage difficult so you are still penalised for crashing....+ you lose points for the car damage caused.

Agreed!

I love the physics in Rallisport Challenge... Its really easy to get a good powerslide around a tight corner. I rented it and played it on easy and ended up beating the game before all the races were done. Those last hill climbs are killer. I wish I could try it on normal now.

**TheGeezer** · 05-09-2002

yeah a flew through it on easy but normal is allot more challenging

**Rochey69r** · 05-09-2002

i have been waiting to recieve it for about 2 weeks now.

i have 3 packadges waiting to arrive for me! lol

1. xbox loyalty pack (rallisport, halo (which i am selling as i already have it) and a controller

2. Halo Prima guide. glady given by the kind folks at XBA and Prima. i chose halo as i thought y get something else when i can be a master at the greatest game of all time. with a lil help from the guide of course.

3. PGR and ADVANCED AV PACK because my HIGH DEF pack dosnt work.

im pretty lucky eh?

so you recon i should do it on normal?? (rallisport that is)

**TheGeezer** · 05-09-2002

I would go through some of it on easy to get used to it and then start going through it on normal. it is quite a jump between the levels. Some of normal is bloody frustrating at times.

**Rochey69r** · 05-12-2002

cool man,

thanx for da advice!!

any1 got ralllisport?? like it??
tell all!

**Rochey69r** · 05-12-2002

yeah i did the dodgy on microsoft. lol

i sent both cables you get with the high def pack is that ok??

i didnt send the box or instructions or receipt where i bought it

is that ok? what did you send

dont be so greedy. the music ability by itself is good enough. and if you dont like the music you got on there get rid of it and fill it full of one song.......or just restart and hope for the best.

being reset on the track......ok for one thing this game isnt like GT3.....no where near it. when you race in a sport like this you arnt supposed to cut the corners....of course roaming around would be cool sometimes. i also think there was a little hold back becuase it may have been too hard to make the game roam free and such.

i do, however, agree that there should have been more cars available to play. 30 is a good amount though.

the key factor is are you having fun? that is what makes it a bad game or not.

you can also email the developers and pitch ur problems to them....im sure there will be another RSC on the way next year.

thats the thing they could have fixed the music option easily!
same with the reset feature just have it so you can choose between reset feature on or off.
30 cars is weak no one can give a good point for that.
you cant upgrade them. that sucks.
im still waiting for it to come in the mail.

p.s Holdens rule fords suck!

**JJaX** · 05-13-2002

I just play 4-player multiplayer. And i think the game is a blast.

I do agree it sucks that you reset to easily if you go of course. But thats nit picking a great game..

Yes 29 cars is not alot but the game is not competing with GT3. It is a Rally game. Besides how many of the cars would you actually use anyway. I use the Skyline GTR about 90% of the time.

poor music options. you can choose what songs you want in the main menu. but while in a race when you really wanna listen to say metallica - master of puppets you cant just go to music options and change it! you have no choice of what song is playing!

I will give you that. But if you want to just listen to Metallica, then just select it in the options before playing.

dissapearing act - when you go of track your car is reset magically on the middle again. you can only go off a certain distance b4 you are reset on the track. im sure most people wana have it so they know if they take a corner to hard and go off track they will pay for it! not just get reset back in the middle of the track!
The developers wanted the game to play fast and to be fun. They want you to spend as much time on the track then off of it.

there just had to get that off my chest!

make 60 cars. all customizable.
The reason why the cars are not cutomizable at least in RS 1, is that they wanted to stay away from that aspect of the game to make it more of a pick up and play type of game. I like arcade racers and I believe they set out and accomplished what they wanted to.

make the simple feature of being able to choose what music is playing.
I can go for that. Like the way Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding allows you to with a push of a button

and dont make the cars magically reset so kwikly!! or at least make an option!

I agree and disagree with that. If you are making an arcade racer, reset. If you are making a simulation, do no reset

hehehe i race the nissan Skyline 100% of the time. Thats my baby!

well i dont like many of the cars in rallisport. a lot are from the 80's! i want more choice!! i want more choice ******!

well what if im listening to Metallica and Millencolin and Greenday and The Offspring and a whole lot of others. my point is it could have easily been fixed!!

AGREED!!

how about an option of reset or no reset?
