The story

RalliSport Challenge 2 is a 2004 rally racing video game, and the sequel to the 2002 RalliSport Challenge. This game contains new features such as a cockpit cameras and ability to change car at the last moment. However, stats like total horsepower and number of gears have been eliminated from the car selection screen. Cars are split up into 5 categories with 2 subcategories each plus "Classic" cars. There are 4 paint schemes on each car and drivers must drive 31, 87, and 249 miles before unlocking a new one. By winning all championships in the career mode, all paint schemes for all cars are unlocked.

What it’s like

Bright, saturated daylight over dusty gravel, spray-flecked tarmac and drifts of snow, with the camera hugging the car or sitting in a cockpit view that rattles over every bump. The sound is engine roar, tyres sliding on loose surfaces and the crackle of the road, layered under a soundtrack you can swap for your own music. Its vibe is brisk, competitive and a little giddy, with a satisfying loop of chasing times, unlocking new paint schemes and cars, and watching a leaderboard tick over. It suits a lazy weekend afternoon, a short burst of play between other things, or a session with a friend in split-screen. The pacing is quick and the stakes are low: a crash costs seconds, not anything painful, and there is no violence, gore or cruelty. It is for players who like the feel of driving itself, who enjoy measurable progress, and who want an arcade rally game that rewards precise cornering and bold drifts over long stretches of story.
