Silent N Deadly 0 Posted May 13, 2003 I was wondering what Rally game do you guys think is best. I want to buy a Rally game but I can’t decide which is the coolest. I am looking for something with really realistic handling, and graphics. Also if it has good game play, and lots of cars and maps. Thanks… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 13, 2003 Nothing really great that I have seen, waiting for Colin McRae Rally 3 to come out on PC. CMR2 was definately good fun and had a fairly good feel to it. Besides that I only laughed hard at the other rally games... I switched to F1 series from EA sports, and Viper Racing has been my love for years. (you know what I mean...) EDIT: Mobil 1 rally was a joke too, everything but the driving was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitViper 0 Posted May 13, 2003 My favorite was always Rally Championship 2000 (Mobil 1 Rally Champ in U.S). Â It's handling wasn't spectacular but it has the most realistic rally stages and overall "rally experience" of any game. Â All the other ones are just loops, over-exaggerated sliding, and driving directly against other drivers... which doesn't represent the rally experience (if you know what a true rally is like). http://pc.hotgames.com/games/rallyc2/review.htm http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,3758/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybrid 0 Posted May 13, 2003 For the ultimate in realism, get Rally Trophy, don't even bother screwing around with anything else, I've played them all and I used to be a pretty serious racing simmer, but I can't seem to find the time latley. From the stats you might think those cars seem pretty slow. Just try driving one, you'll be humbled pretty quick Rally Trophy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bn880 5 Posted May 13, 2003 Yeah sure, something was very unrealstic about it if I didn't like it. I think I remember, it was terribly unrealsitic, nothing like a real car. I would have to try it again and tell you to be sure. EDIT: Or maybe I know how to power slide in real cars but M1 Champ is a joke. Again, I have to check that game out someday and double check.

AirwolfPL 0 Posted May 13, 2003 My favorites (well, maybe not all of these are strictly rally games but who cares): 1). Test Drive 2 2). Need for Speed: Porsche 2000 3). 1nsane 4). Need for Speed 4 I like Live for Speed too, because it's the most realistic racing game I've ever played Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Die Alive 0 Posted May 13, 2003 I think the only rally game I had was Screamers 2. (I think that was the name.) I enjoyed it for a few days. I remember they had 3 differnt cars, one with front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the pivot point in the driving model. It was workable though. You could change the driving properties via a config file. I did alot of modding to that game. You could crank up the damage so hitting a tree would end your race.. like in a real rally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 13, 2003 You are probably right... anyway, if I was to buy a rally game now, I would wait for CMR3, honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted May 13, 2003 Can you guys recommend a good formula 1 game? Preferably on that runs on older machines aswell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 13, 2003 F1 2001 by EA sports is pretty good IMO. How old of a machine? Maybe Indy Car Racing, the original. There was also CART Precision Racing by Microsoft, it was quite good technically but abused the systems back then. (I'm a turbocharged fan so I loved that thing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted May 15, 2003 Thanks for the tip ... now that i think about it, i had F1 2001 on Playstation before i sold the whole thing. Anyway it was great! Im gonna see if i can find a demo or something first though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you have a force feedback wheel then search the net for instructions on how to get it working in GPL (or ask me). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 29, 2003 Colin McRae Rally 3 demo is out for PC, 121MB have a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallenPaladin 0 Posted May 29, 2003 I hope CMR 3 will beat CMR 2, but I`m sceptical after the terrible DTM Race Driver from Codemasters. They stabbed a dagger into my heart with this f**king game and I was so looking forward to it. In the end it was nice graphics, terrible steering, terrible AI and frustrating starting positions any time (position 6 and worse) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 29, 2003 Yeah I hope so too, I am downloading the demo, but man, 1KB/s... we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted May 30, 2003 Well I've tried the CMR-3 demo ladies and gents: I think it's very good. It will probably be the most realistic handling Rally game... So far I tried only keyboard setup but the car seems to do what a real one does at first try, the graphics are stunning and damage is nice. Another neat thing is the driver and co-driver move around in the car according to seemingly real physics. So do the parts that are hanging off the car. Hood will even open up and block your vision if you screw up. (you will don't worry) And they even added standing water, I don't remember CMR-2 having that. Anyway I don't want to spoil it. Bad stuff: It's not completely finished, like they say it's 95%. It doesn't seem to crash though, which is good. Sounds need a tiny bit of work IMO. Fade (no not BIS fade), the graphics are great but there seem to be so many shading effects on the car that colors are paled out, the rest of the world is fine. If you even look at some screenies you can see a very red car turning into a sticky-note pink one. That's exactly my worry with OFP2, hope they watch for that. And, hopefully there will be some sort of car setup, hmm. Worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
