I got a friend that owes me a game for the PC, Don't know whether to get this or not... I've read mixed reviews, some great, some not so great... I love , no, LOVE, GP2, and am a big fan of NASCAR, Fatal Racing, NFS etc. Anyone reccommend buying Network Q RAC Rally or not? I'd really appreciate the inside track on this one :) Thanks in advance, And if it wouldnt be too much trouble, could replies be emailed too? I dont get a lot of time on the net these days :(( Again, thanks a million, Stephen McSweeney. -- Sleepy (A descendant o' Dublin with titanic skill) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Steve McSweeney | "I got a drug and I got the bug and I got something better ----------------| feelin' strong..." -- Beck, Beercan.

Stop!!!! Don't buy it *yet* Europress have f*cked up badly. Ocean Software are bringing out a compilation with 3 games and a joypad. They licensed what they thought was the original RAC Rally game from Europress. Unfortunately for Europress, due to a legal mix-up, Ocean ended up getting the rights to the brand new Rally game instead :) So, for about 29 quid, you get 3 games and a joypad (including the new RAC Rally game). Not sure when it's coming out, but it will be before Christmas. On the other hand, in my honest opinion, Screamer 2 feels a lot better to drive. Basically, it's Sega Rally for the PC. Gorgeous graphics, nice feel in the car handling department. -- .. "Some might say that sunshine follows thunder"

Did you try the demo? It sucked! No matter how fast went, the car would always corner -- no real driving feel. Really too bad for a 19mb demo too! I've only seen one game recently that sucks worse - Destruction Derby 2 Doug -- ===== From the desk of Doug Burg - My Unofficial "Need For Speed" page: -----> http://members.aol.com/speed1racr/html/nfs_main.htm <----- My current list of items forsale at AuctionWeb can be found at: "You can make $$$ or you can make excuses, but you can't make BOTH"

Hey, I disagree, RAC rally is a great rallysim, it drives better than Screamer 2 and the grafix are better than GP2, even on a low spec. machine.
