It's the same as the dreamcast version. A lot more tracks and cars compared
to the arcade but the graphics aren't as good.

Disagree, the graphics are better on the pc. But there is quite a lot of
slowdown if
you haven't got a good pc.
I've got a P2 450 and its chugs a lot at 800x600. The best I can get is
640x480, medium detail then
its totally smoth. To get things smooth at a high res, you need a top pc.
Good force fedback effects by the way (MS version)

Are the game physics as good as the arcade? Graphics?
How long has this been out?
Thanks

Sega Rally 2 for the PC has been out since last year in Europe
and Japan. It's only been brought to North America recently. I'm not
sure if there are differences between the different PC versions (on
the Dreamcast, at least, the American version includes the Peugeot
206WRC).
As for the game itself, it is a near-perfect replica of the
arcade version. Quite the opposite of Sega's pathetic renditions of
Daytona and Manx TT. It also adds several new (and good) tracks, as
well as the best selection of rally cars available in one game (one
major omission, though: no Fords). Without commenting on the
real-world accuracy of the physics, let me just say that if you
enjoyed the arcade game you will definitely enjoy the home version.

Long Live Nigel Mansell!
Sounds good. I know the physics aren't acurate, but I do love the sliding
around in the arcade version. Sounds like a keeper.

I actually purchased the game from Compuexpert myself. It is the UK
version. There is no US release of the game, but in the PC world that
really doesn't matter.
IMHO, the reason why this game wasn't released in the US was because it
would have killed the Dreamcast game, which stunk (again IMHO).
The PC version plays much better, looks much better, and oh yeah, it has
network play.
If you like the arcade game you'll really like SR2 PC. I wouldn't be
comparing it to Sports Car GT anytime soon..but SR2 is a fun little
diversion.
I just need to find someone on a network to play against (It's IP to IP
only)
