Woah this is pretty interesting, I had no idea the PSP game is worth getting.

Sega Rally 2 had tight handling? I don't know 'bout that, felt more like soap in a bathtub to me, your car never stopped sliding sideways, almost like a hovercraft.

I got this translation from I don't know where, maybe ntsc-uk or rllmuk.
| Code: |
Once started, the player has is presented with the race entry screen where they can sign up for forthcoming events. At the start, one can only partake in 'open' events, time trails and other challenges (like a typically timed rally, sponsorship event). Prizes can be obtained by doing well (placing first, so far).
Once entry has been confirmed, the main menu screen is available showing:
Garage
Race (takes you to the next event)
Home (where one can enter new races, etc...)
Sponsorship (if offered)
History/Records
The Garage has more options:
Configuration (parts, class, etc...)
Shop (buy new parts here)
Practice
Car selection
Most of it is easy enough to understand. By default (I think), the cars are on automatic. The transmission option is in Garage->Config->Transmission->Auto or Manual (1st and 2nd option). The options go:
Class
Parts
Tyre
Dampers
Transmission.
One has to configure tyres yourself and is essential to doing well in a rally. The tyre options are:
Slicks
Wet slicks
Hard gravel
Soft gravel
Wet gravel
and Snow.
The shop are:
Air filter
Exhaust
Muffler
Flywheel
Clutch
LSD
Suspension
Brake
Gear
Alloys
If you're unsure, just select a part anyway and you get a little picture to show what is what. Performance changing parts are broken down into response and power, which is shown down the bottom right hand side of the screen. |
I haven't done too much career yet though, it's your typical time sink where you start underpowered and level up. The only reason to play it is probably to unlock more tracks for time trial mode and to hear that cool track that plays before every race.
All of that's pretty unimportant, because there's ARCADE MODE! Play that, I like it a lot. I love the handling, drifting feels great (especially on tarmac, go figure) and the game's pretty smooth. You can unlock the original game and cars too, DO IT! |
