    Great graphics, shallow gameplay. Probably won´t last for so long. Multiplayer (split-screen) is satisfying but nothing special.

    Xbox'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 andXbox'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. Expand

  1. In addition to lots of racing choices, "RalliSport" has impressive force feedback in the game controller.

    Overly long and unimaginative tracks punctuate the wide selection of courses and it's impossible to know them all well enough to become fond of their individual traits. [Summer 2002, p.88]
  3. Some incredibly intense racing.
