Sega Rally 2: Hey Meiji, I still like it! :-)

I spent a while playing the demo this afternoon, and I like it a lot more than you did. Definitely more fun than the recent Need For Speed games, mainly because the control is better with a wheel (although FF is practically nil). I like the feel of the slides, arcadey as they may be. Really cool to run way up into the corner, tap the brake, put it into a slide, and just skim the outside wall all the way around the sweepers. I hope DTR is this controllable, although SR2 makes it a bit to easy to set the car in a slide by getting off and back into the throttle. Anyone break the 1 minute barrier on the demo track? I got 1'01"610 with the six speed Subaru, but I flubbed a couple times every lap. 58 seconds seems do-able. Tim

Sadly I wasted a wet Friday night playing it once. Did 5 years of the Championship and I have to say there was no incentive to carry on. It would have been nice to get new cars as you went along the years but no.. I could choose any whenever I wanted. M

>I spent a while playing the demo this afternoon, and I like it a lot >more than you did. I've been reading other posts on it, and it looks like I'm the only sucker that likes it. Heh. Now I know what it feels like to be the heretic -that one screwy guy that likes Cart: Precision Racing or NASCAR Revolution. I must say, that feeling sort of sucks. Oh well, back to trying to beat my lap time. =8^P Tim

He i don't like it at all but who cares what i think about it as long as you enjoy it all is fine. We don't all have to like the same thing glad there are people with dif. taste, keeps the world a colorfull place. Yep the graphics look as good as any other recent title but i think it's way and i mean way to easy. Yep the 1min barier is easy to brake i tried it three times and ended up somewhere around 55 sec or 56 dunno anymore could have been faster but didn't enjoy it enough to put the time in went back to gpl instead. Enjoy your game and don't mind what others think Andre Hanegraaf Amsterdam

I'd just like to say, this is the most sane, reasoned post i've ever seen here. Don't be posting here again! :P Z. Please remove my_pants when replying.

Like i said i don't mind so much what you say or think, i'm interrested, ehhh well on second thought maybe not so much in your opinion anyway. Excuse me for having brains. Andre

David Erb heeft geschreven in bericht ... Yep i know, for some reason my smiley didn't apear in the reply so it sounded like an defensive reply but wasn't. I tried to make a joke of my own statement...you see, it came out very poorly i understand should have been Sorry for having brains ;) not as an asult towards Z but as a joke excuse about being on this list. Damn shit the more i try to explain the weacker all gets...

All of the other tracks are way cooler. Sega put out a really bad demo. I've played the full pc version and own the dreamcast version. The demo is not really a good indication of the full game. Sjoerd
