Rallisport Challenge PC demo released

David G Fisher posted a link to Microsoft's 220 MB Rallisport Challenge demo. Posters bragged about download speeds and lamented the lack of a cockpit view, which led some to skip it. Others found it a fun arcade game.

"Get behind the wheel of 4 cars from the game's 29 machines on 4 very different tracks." Maybe Microsoft has a sense of humour... =) -- - Igor -

Yes, maybe they've put it in there as a teaser! ___ The demo is limited in the following way: - Only 4 cars available - Only 4 tracks available - No absence of cockpit view ___ :-) Ice D "JTBurn" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ed I completely agree with you, and if you've read my posts I'm pretty much a sim nazi. At the same time, I don't know how DICE does it, but once again they've produced a game that's significantly flawed but so much fun that I can't take it off my harddrive. It's a sim lite with better physics than stuff like Porsche Unleashed, many of the cars are unique to this particular game, and the tracks - while ridiculously short - are possibly the best I've found in this sort of rally-lite. I mentioned this in another thread, but I think I'd rather have the hood cam over a cockpit with a wheel that can't be removed anyway. And you have to know that unless it's a Papyrus sim you aren't going to be able to remove the wheel. Jason

Someone actually did that a few years back. The demo had a cockpit, and the final didn't. I don't remember the game though. I guess it was quite forgettable :) -Larry "Ice D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0JKC9.13174$[email hidden]...

~3.5mb/s [:o) Is there a way to get the sounds work properly on the demo? They seem way too high pitched... like 10 times too high :/ It seems like a decent arcade rally... and looks great. -- - Igor -
