WRC for PS2

My boys have a PS2 and I usually only take part when they want a second player or to get them through a tough track in GT3. I decided to pick up WRC (World Rally Championship) for myself and check it out. It has a great cockpit view unlike most PS2 driving titles. Quite fun! Only problem I have is that I can't get it so take advantage of our Logitech "Driving Force" PS2 wheel. The manual says it supports a wheel, but I can't figure it out. Best I can come up with is that I have the newest iteration of the Logitech wheel and there's something different inside that is causing the problem. Funny thing is that when the game is booting - the wheel moves around (just like on the PC) so I know there's communication. Any idea's? - Dave Cook

You helped me figure out how much of a dumbass I am. I plugged my Momo into the PS2 and then realized in the controller setup there were more options than I originally thought. Arrow to the right and there was the option for the wheel! Hehe. I'm off to Portugal. You the man :) BTW - my PS2 Logitech wheel works too. I hear that WRC2 looks pretty good. Console gaming's not so bad! - Dave

Yes the graphics are pretty and the replay camera's movements are neat, but the physics model is lacking. I guess Mobil 1 RC and Rally Trophy have me spoiled. -- ________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com ________________________

and again I have to ask; how come a Rally Game where 300hp cars can't accellerate past 50 km/t in a 10 degree uphill slope is in such high regard? -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 DE RECTIS NON TOLERANDUM EST

Because it's the only one with stages of any length? Because you can tweak the physics to make it at least a little better? In all honesty though, Mobil 1/RC2000 (I assume that's what you meant) does seem a bit like the GP4 of Rally sims. Someone on RAS (I think) once said (paraphrasing) "GP4 is not a good simulation of driving a Grand Prix car, it's a simulation of what it would be like if you were a good Grand Prix driver" RC probably falls into a similar category - the immersion seems to outweigh the flaws. The reason I think RC gets a pass is because there is no other game out there with real-length stages (as opposed to F1-200x vs. Gp4), and it doesn't have the glaring deep down faults like Gp4's PO system. It also wasn't hyped up like Gp4. Kendt Wondering what we'll see first - a CART sim, a *real* WRC rally sim, or West Racing Legends ;).
