Sega Rally 2: Sure is pretty!

Just got the demo from 3D Files. Has the same really exaggerated "hang it out all day" slides as the first one. Lots of fun if you like arcade racers. I've only played it for a few minutes, and can't wait to try a LAN game. Even if you're not into the game, the graphics are stunning. Even with the 800x600 limit. Tim

It's the same as the first tho in that it has no longevity, nothing to keep you interested and too high a price. Fun for an hour or two maybe but you'll be left wanting something more substantial. M

Sounds like the difference between a one-night stand and real committment. So how is that different from NFSx? Still could sell a million copies if it's as good an arcade-style racer as NFS3/4..... When I want longevity I fire up GPL - that takes committment. If I only have 30 minutes available and don't have time or energy for committment, a round with NFS or CMR or one of those will do just fine. > It's the same as the first tho in that it has no longevity, nothing to keep > you interested and too high a price. > Fun for an hour or two maybe but you'll be left wanting something more

am I right in thinking that the demo supports multiplayer, because you mention you can't wait to play it on the LAN? cheers rob

IMO, SRC2 is worse thatn NFS3. Commercial PC version of SRC2 has been*** around here in Hong Kong for months and I recently get NFS3 (whcih is in dirt cheap "Classic" package) SRC2 in PC lack the kind of FF support and worse, the perspective of SRC2 is very poorly done. I am learning GPL for weeks and yes, it is the kind of racing game I am playing in long run. (Well, Hong Kong does not even import GPL, I have to order it from Chips'n Bits) Regards, Griffin. : Sounds like the difference between a one-night stand and real : committment.

NFS is much better... CMR is fantastically better. SR2 isn't all that. If I'd paid for it and not just played it on someone elses machine I'd have felt robbed. It's about as good as Daytona and Sega Rally were (on the PC). M

>am I right in thinking that the demo supports multiplayer, because you >mention you can't wait to play it on the LAN? It seems to, Rob. I haven't had a chance to install it on my second machine and actually try it, but you can click on Multiplayer, and choose from TCP/IP, IPX, etc. Tim

Hm, Sega Rally 2 makes Screamer Rally look like the GPL of rally games! Awfull! CMR is way ahead of this simple game. And if you find the graphics stunning, what games have you been playing lately?!? Take a look at NFS 4: now there are some stunning graphics! (Don't get me wrong: I'm talking about the graphics here: the best I've ever seen in a driving game, I'm not talking about gameplay and car handling...)

(Don't get me wrong: I'm talking about >the graphics here: the best I've ever seen in a driving game, I'm not >talking about gameplay and car handling...) Never played Screamer Rally. I only played the NFS4 demo, and the control and handling with a wheel felt so funky and wrong that I didn't spend much time on it. I've been playing Viper, GPL, N3, SCGT and SODA lately. Tim

I regard it just a product featuring a popular character. =) Y.Minami
