Rallisport Challenge Xbox

One of the most amazing racing games for the Xbox

Strengths: Stunning graphics; four game modes; realistic driving conditions; collision detection on the money; pleasing sound effects

Weakness: NOT a racing simulation; no online play

Rallisport Challenge is a racing game for the Xbox that captures the essence of what rally races are all about. Although the game is not a true racing simulator, its arcade-like features don't make the game any less desireable. In fact, the arcade feel adds to the excitement and electricity of the game. The first thing you notice when you play the game is how visually impressive it is. The cars...

An awesome racer that had me running to the store ...

Strengths: Great graphics, excellent damage model, solid controls

Weakness: Not Rallisport Challenge 2

I had played just about every newer Xbox racer out there from the very arcady (Need for Speed Underground 2, Midnight Club Dub Edition, Burnout Revenge) to the simulators (TOCA Racer 2, Forza Motorsport). Both have their advantages, the arcade ones are a blast, while the simulators are challenging. The likes of Forza, however, can be a bit too steep of a challenge for a guy like me who doesn't...

Good game for a great Price

Strengths: Graphics, Damage, and Control

Weakness: Speed

This is a very solid racing game that really made me like rally racing again. I have not played a good rally gtame since Sega Rally Championship on the Dreamcast. This game still has, despite its age, good graphics, sound, control and lasting apeal. My only complaint would be that the sense of speed seemed kind of slow to me.

Rallisport Challenge

Strengths: Decent Graphics, Decent Gameplay

Weakness: None, but nothing really great either

This game is just Ok. The graphics are decent--no complaints about those. The gameplay is pretty good, no real complaints there. I honestly don't have very many complains about this game. The thing is, I don't have much to say about it. It's a fun game, that you will get sick of relatively quickly, but you might pick back up again. The cars are pretty cool, I'll give it that.

The little dirt track racer that could. . .

Strengths: Four types of off-road racing, 25 licensed cars, realistic crash damage, decent graphics, budget retail price

Weakness: Limited tuning options, more arcade than simulation, frustratingly difficult steering in open classes, slower pace than traditional racing games

Live your wildest roadracing fantasies as you speed through mud, ice and gravel on your way to the off-road racing championships. This is what the box art suggests, but it's not all that far from the truth. Rallisport Challenge has already seen a sequel on Xbox, and the original has now made the Platinum Hits value line. If you're looking for an arcade-like off-road racing game, this one just...

Rallisport Challenge Xbox

Weakness: graphics

Rallisport may have great graphics but it has no real physics attached to those graphics. When you brake and turn you lose control even at 20km/h. Whenever you mess up you tend to finish in first place but when you do amazing you come in last. This game is fun but too much of a frustration to recommend but the multiplayer is fun.

Rallisport Challenge Xbox

Strengths: Graphics, controls, sense of speed

Weakness: if you are looking for a sim, this isn't for you

Rallisport Challenge remains one of the best racers on a system full of great racers (from what I have heard). The Rally side of racing is well reprsented here and this is more than worthy of a place in your Xbox collection! The graphics are great if you are into that and the racing is fast and intense. The game has a bit more of an arcadey feel than sims, so if you prefer games like GT over...

Rallisport Challenge Xbox

Strengths: Good graphics, fun gameplay

Weakness: Less race sim than some might want

Rally race fans should look into Rallisport Challenge. Nice looking cars, nice looking tracks and nice looking environmental effects make for a believable looking game. Different races modes give some replay value, though the gameplay isn't as much of a rally racing simulator as some fans might want, though for pick-up-and-drive action, there's plenty to be had. Rally racing sim fans might want...

Rallisport Challenge Xbox

Strengths: Excellent graphics show off the power of the Xbox. Arcadey handling adds to the fun.

Weakness: Rally fans may want more detailed physics models seen in other games.

Rallisport Challenge is everything you could want from an Xbox racer. It's fast and flashy and fun to play. The graphics are the star of the game. The cars look excellent and fit perfectly into the tracks of the game environment. Even the weather effects look believable. The four different race modes keep the gameplay varied. The handling on the cars can be a bit arcadey, allowing you to...
