Awesome game so far. The basic premise is that you get to race diferent american and rice burner cars off-road, in snow, uphill, etc.
You would specially love it cause you get to drive your WRX, and its a sweet choice here. You get to customize stuff like tires, suspension, etc.
The driving physics are realistic, you cant just accelerate all the way to the finish line. Its easy to lose control, specially on snow.
Very nice racing game. And the graphics are sweet.

Wow..sweet graphics.
-
Yeah, its fun playing "Hog of the Roads" in this game. And the force-feedback controller provides a nice vibratey feeling all thru my guttyworks.
-
lol...is there a Darango 95 to filly around in?
-
sounds like fun

Sweet, I didn't know it was out for PC. I played this a lot on XBox. Should be fun on PC.

When I'm not flying AH, my other gaming is a mod for Le Mans race cars (http://www.rsdg.net) for EASports' F1 2001. I've also done a bit of Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 3 and the newest Papyrus NASCAR Racing sim. I'll have to give RallyeSport Challenge a whirl. I was afraid it'd be too arcadish, but it sounds like it might be worth a try.

If you want a good rally sim check out Rally Trophy. It's the most realistic rally game I've seen, more so than Rallisport (at least the XBox version of Rallisport).

I don't know if any of you build models, but right now http://www.modelexpo-online.com/ema004/ is having a 99 cent sale on its Heller 1:43 scale F1 race cars: Williams, Lotus, and Benneton.

Gofaster, great tip, thanks.
I've forgot all about RSDG.;)

Does rallisport have a cockpit view yet? (it didn't on XBox)
It was ok on XBox but I won't bother with any driving sim with no 'in car' view...

Skurj - no cockpit view. Thats a real bummer.
And the more I play the more quirks I find in the physics engine, wich has left me disapointed. The first hours its fun but after a while the gameplay is growing tedious.
-
I tried the demo and was left VERY unimpressed and glad I fought the urge to buy it in the shop when I saw it before playing the demo. I did'nt think the physics were that impressive or the graphics for that matter, considering the age difference no better than Colin Mcrae Rally 2. I'll keep playing CMR2 while I wait for CMR3 early next year.
-
Revvin, try Rally Trophy. Blows away CMR2.

I can't fairly compare any driving sims because Rally Trophy is the only non aviation boxed sim or game that I have ever bought for myself. Less than 2 hours after downloading the free trial version, I ordered one. The reviews said it was great, but what really sold me was the classic cars that you could choose from; Mini Cooper, SAAB-96, Volvo Amazon, etc.
It's pretty fun, for a boxed game. I found myself, however, trying to see how far and high I could jump the cars... trying to fly...

Yeah I agree eskimo, the biggest attraction of the game for me was the mini cooper and the cortina.
The game was fun for a few months, but the ugly problem with rally sims is... Noone has figured the best way to do multiplay yet...
Tho i have ideas...
It would be nice to see all clients connect to a host, on the green flag, all drivers go at the same time, over the same section of course. At each checkpoint your current time differential between the other drivers is displayed, or at least how far behind the next guy you are. Doesn't have to be all racing bumper to bumper, just times distributed between clients.
It seems so simple....
some wheels for your RT rides..

Stratos baby :)
I still enjoy trying to get the most out of her on all the different stages, especially with the mods that let you try different surfaces (gravel, tarmac, snow) on different rallies.

I've gone back to GPL once again!
With all the gfx updates these days its looking mighty fine.
Also runs at MAX fps at 1024 x 768 x 32 with 4x FSAA with anisotropic filtering enabled. (in OPenGL) runs abit slower in d3d, but I find Opengl looks better as well.
best FF of any racing game I've tried, and also the best netcode at least in road racing, permitting 19 players to race against each other. (heard good things about N2002 but I like to turn right once in awhile...)
Will check out n2003 as it maybe papy's last, at least for now

I'm glad I went back and re-read this thread. I almost put it on my wish list for Santa!
