    This game is great. It looks good, sounds good, and (most importantly) plays good.

    Yes!!!! Finally a very good racing game which can be greatly played even with the gamepad and this is a decisive feature. Impressive graphic and longlasting gameplay. Good, good, good job!!!

    This is an incredibly rich driving game. It's bar-none, the best way to get out from your mid-life crisis, even if you're under 40. Nothing like a heart-thumping romp against (very good) AI, and I haven't even touched multiplayer online racing yet! If you must buy one game this week, make it this one.

    This game rocks! The graphics are awesome and game play is just flat out cool. This is worth getting even if you already have the mighty PGR2 - the gameplay is very different.

    One of the best games i have ever played. The most exciting in this game is that is very very fast and the graphics are REAL...

    Wow, I don't think you'll ever see a better looking Xbox game. I'd also say that it's the best racing game on Xbox. That's saying a lot considering how many great racing titles are on the system.

    Just recieved my game today, and let me tell you it's amazing. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are near perfect. I'm not much of a racing lover, but I still enjoy this game. Its not too sim and its not too arcade.

    Absolutely brilliant the graphics are outstanding and sound is crisp, however it does have a couple of faults like any other game. Those being no kmph/mph register when reversing, fog is overdone and no co-driver when racing other races outside of rallys. But no a fantastic game and buy!

    A really great game. Once upon a time i used to play world chamionship rally on the ps2 and i loved it. It gave a real fealing of speed and danger and the graphics were brill for the PS2. Since then nothing as come close to being this good on the xbox (including the great PGR2 which didn't quite have the sense of speed). Now rallisport challenge 2 has bettered the ps2 game in nearly A really great game. Once upon a time i used to play world chamionship rally on the ps2 and i loved it.

Now rallisport challenge 2 has bettered the ps2 game in nearly every respect. I love the courses, the cars, the variety, the graphics, the sound and THE SHEER BLOODY SPEED. The only thing i don't like is the difficulty of the game as it starts at too low a level and everybody will storm through the initial amateur stage without dropping more than a few points. Online the game is impressive with upto 4 cars with collisions turned on or upto 16 with other players appearing as ghosts. This is good but i consider it a bonus extra because the career is so good. Final words: very strongly recommended.… Expand

    This visually stunning game offers little if any driving challenge. It is basically a pure arcade racer trying to pass itself off as something else. The handling is so easy and unexciting that the experience quickly becomes tedious. The stages are beautiful, painterly even and everything moves quickly and smoothly.

    60fps in-game, replays are just 30fps.. also the co-driver sounds awful, robotic and unrealistic, nothing like the original RSC or the Colin McRae series for example. The graphics are good in-game (but nothing earth shattering) and the gameplay is decent but again nothing mega special. The replays and co-driver spoil it for me - I'm surprised none of the glowing reviews mentioned 60fps in-game, replays are just 30fps.. also the co-driver sounds awful, robotic and unrealistic, nothing like the original RSC or the Colin McRae series for example.

    Just an all-around great rally racing game with good graphics, fun gameplay, and tons of content. Seriously challenges the Colin McRae Rally series.

    My Favourite racing game ever. Great campaign and driving physics are perfect. Wish they would do a third one although it will never happen. Shame....

    Great game but when you lose wheels and the story mode is so hard for beginners even on easy mode and that is only way to unlock cars but overall its pretty good Player 2 mode is best

    There is a huge single player career to play through with a tremendous variety of locations and courses, the graphics are so good that no description could do them justice and the handling is perfect, making for a supremely enjoyable gaming experience.

    Don't let its sophistication scare you - at the end of the long, mud-splattered day, the game is above all else accessible and fun. [June 2004, p.94]
