Looking to buy a rally sim...

- Codemaster Colin McRae Rally 2.0
- Bugbear Rally Trophy
- Ubisoft Rally Championship 2002
- Microsoft RalliSport Challenge

Any other? Which is the best?

Rally Trophy is the only "simulation" of Rally motorsports in that list.

I have Colin, Rally Tropy and Rallisport. They're all fun and vary as far as
being sims, but Rally Tropy is the closest to a sim. Rallisport Challenge is
a blast if you suspend all reality and just have fun. Plus it has the
funniest moment on replays: on the Safari track 3 zebras turn their heads as
you go by.

Rally Trophy ;)

Rally Masters is still the most realistic physics model for me. The graphics
are just average by current standards, but it has excellent feel and
control.

Mobil 1 Rally Championship (aka Rally Championship 2000).

For the PS2: World Rally Championship (BAM! Entertainment, ca. 2001).

Rally Trophy

I had a cow run across my path in Rally Trophy, which my son thought was
hysterical!

Did anyone ever manage to actually hit one of those "wildlife"
inhabitants?

Not yet, but I have been closer to them, in the game then in real life
luckily.

Have to agree - Michelin Rally Masters is the only sim of rallying
where you have to be in complete control of your car to go fast - and
the different physics models of fwd, 4wd and rwd have give satisfying
levels of difference between the different cars.

Sounds are terrible, though - though that might just be my set up.

CMR 2.0 is fun though - and to be fair the physics of it are damned
good (though no doubt someone who has actually driven a WRC car will
tell me differently).

I've not tried the others mentioned here.

I always enjoyed Rally Masters for some reason. Real easy to get some
realistic power slides on, and that Audi S1 looked awesome :)

...or else you would know that Rally Trophy enters the above category you
mentioned in your paragraph! ;-)

Have to agree too :)

This game have been so timeconsuming for me the last 3 years online...
really nice and quick online "menu"...never more than 2-3 minutes in the
lobby - and out rallying with so much competitors from all over the
world...

The other night was the first time in 2-3 weeks for me, and I started
RallyLobby.exe - plong! after 35 sec I was in a 3 lap race in Italy with
4 other guys...I like very much to take the Megane out and kick som T16'
as... :)

Still the most popular online rallygame after 3 years. On an average
middle-week night (european time) I count 20-30 players on 3-4 servers.
Maybe the physics isn't RallyTrophy-like, so what? It's a game, isn't
it? I'll rather race than fiddling with setup's for hours...:)

I bought RalliSport Challenge (also a DICE-game) at x-mas, and have
tried it online 4-5 times, but there is only some 2-4 guys there...:(
Great fun though---the Koenig DownHill on ice in a 800 bhp - 250 km/h
car is - yes - a little frustrating..::)
