Aaron,
When is this game scheduled for release? There is nothing on the
Infograme's web site. They are the producers, aren't they?
Thanks,
Alanb
anyone try this? Arcade or simulation?

"V-Rally 2: Expert Edition - 6:18 PM EST
After the phenomenal success of V-Rally, experience the unique driving
sensations of V-Rally 2. You'll be behind the wheel of super-fast cars, your
sole objective: to become the World Champion. V-Rally 2 pushes realism to
the extreme: animated driver and co-driver, cars get damaged and dirty in
real time... V-Rally 2: closer still to reality!
DOWNLOAD - 60 Megs"
they say it pushed realism to the extreme, but then refer to graphical
realism, not slip angles....
which leads me to create another ras qoute:
"We're not gamers, we're slip anglers!"
and for those who don't know, anglers would refer to fisherman, at least it
does in the states, hence the play on words.
Since there is no control option other than the keyboard, it's a bit
hard to say.

The
graphics are decent but not nearly as nice as those in Mobil 1Rally
Championship. Also , the car physics I would guess is less realistic, at least
using the keyboard. The game seems like it would be fun anyways, especially
since it has a Track Editor, assuming it allows you to create interesting and
varied tracks. The demo course has the "invisible wall" problem, which keeps
you from straying from the course even when you wreck. Looks like it will be a
nice diversion if you like both sims and lite sim/arcade racers, but not for
diehard simmers.
Another Infogrames rally game eh?
I'd hold off on this one if I were you.... at least until it's been out on
the shelves for awhile, as infogrames are well known for their poor
support/lack of patching their programs... So If there are any bugs you'll
have to live with them for at least 6 months before you can hope to see a
patch! :-(
As an example, when Rally Masters came out, earlier this year, many people
asked for a patch to fix some obvious problems and include cars that were
described in their press release, and were told told for months and months
that a patch would be available any time soon, or next week or in a
fortnight, etc, etc...
They finally did come out with a patch, but I honestly can't say I've seen
anything corrected/improved in the game, and many of the cars that they
originally adverted are still not available (they claim some sort of license
red tape, but they could have at least included a paintkit so we could do up
our own!
Also... Their "Test Drive" series of games stink, purely arcade... Just take
at look at the 24 hours of LeMans game, what a bummer :-(
