A REAL RALLY GAME (possibility)

Of those of you who have played Need 4 Speed, and have played the secret
rally level, (accessed via entering your name as EAC RALY or EAC RALLY
and going to the desert track), who would agree with me that they could
make a fabulous rally game/sim with the same graphic engine and a slight
tweaking of the sim engine??????/
There is a crying longing need for a DECENT rally sim, good old faithful
Sega Rally arcade being in my opinion the only one I know of. There are
a few others, like that RAC Rally one or whatever from Britian, but they
are dismal.
Please feel free to comment or forward the suggestion to the makers of
N4S...

It's pretty cool. I actually bought Need4Speed just to play the Rally circuit
on it. The cars shown have too stiff of a suspension to properly rally.
I think we need to make more mention to EA about it, but they don't seem
very responsive.

Sega Rally is the closest thing, true. I just got the demo for RAC rally,
and it's pretty weak. Silver Lightning Software is working on a rally sim
based on Rally Australia. That looks like the only possibility for a decent
rally sim so far. The problem is convincing game developers, who are
primarily American, that we need a Rally sim. Unfortunately, most Americans
have absolutely no idea what rally is. :( (or how incredibly cool it would
be in a sim)
