  1. The game doesn't overwhelm players with options, and the modes of play are relatively straightforward. What RalliSport does best is provide gamers with a thrill of speed and a style of control that demands their full attention.

    Xbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make aXbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make a good rally game, dear Dice. There's is some issues with it, including: crazy difficulty in "normal" mode, beginner is bearable; cars handle like Forza 1,2 which was bad and almost identical, but you can actually feel here different types of road and grip, tho you couldn't turn without drift whatsoever... so it should be named Initial D: Rallidrift Challenge, tho AI opponents can handle turns alright. I almost beat it, but I don't feel like finish it, cos I've had enough. I suffered through "normal" difficulty at first which is insane, but also tried "beginner", where you can actually beat solo, timed point to point races, but races with opponents become too easy. The game is kinda fun, but it's not very well done, it's more like a tech demo of a racing engine. There's also custom soundtracks support (super eurobeat recommended) and a killer car is a Nissan with 150hp if I recall that right. I'll give it 65. We'll see if you did it right in your second attempt, Rallisport 2. Full Review »

    Easily my favorite rally game. It's great to play on your own, but it really shines when you play it in multiplayer. Those over the topEasily my favorite rally game. It's great to play on your own, but it really shines when you play it in multiplayer. Those over the top crashes and great selection of courses will keep you laughing for hours!

    Oh yeah, and the graphics are amazing too.

    Best graphics I have ever seen in a video game. Fun to play. The developers put a lot of effort into this game and it shows. A must have game.
