RalliSport Challenge review!!1

pablo32,

The problem is the whole Bill Gates thing for some around here.

As far as I can tell he is the anti-christ and we are all doomed if the XBox makes it in the gaming world.

I can\'t figure it out, but it sure makes for some interesting reading.

BTW, can\'t wait to get my hands on this game.

I think Rallisport does look very good generally..... however I dont think it looks anything better (going by these screen shots) than WRC on PS2 which has 81 tracks BTW..... ok it doesnt have animated trees, but then it does have allot better animated in car views and has animated crowds.....for me being in the UK, I feel that as the xbox console is hitting the streets at £100 more than PS2 together with the games being on average at least £5 more aswell that Im simply not going to consider the Xbox.  The Xbox needs to show me something far better than what the PS2 can deliver for me to justify the more expensive outlay.... Im sure allot of UK/European gamers will think in a similar way.... if Microsoft dont reduce the price it may well sell, but in no way the amount that the PS2 is currently flying off shelves in the UK (and MGS2 has only just come out which will fuel PS2 sales even more)  There is a huge PS2 user base in the UK at the moment and I just dont see how Microsoft can hope to steal any of that user base with its current pricing policy.

ok, so i finally picked up my copy of rallisport

indeed it does play well,  and the cars handle good

BUT  

poor AI and EXTENSIVE blur distract from my enjoyment

good thing i dont pay full price for my games

My god people! Arguing over such idiotic things......the graphics are ok I have seen very few games on the PS2 that looked as amazing as DOA3 for x-box.



    If I were to pick at every thing that was wrong with MGS2:SOL I could find many things about the story line and some parts of the game That I found very bad! The fact you only play as Solid Snake  for 1/10 of the game mad me mad. Whatever game it is for any console there WILL be jaggies. They may not be that noticable but they ARE there.



      That game may have the best gameplay of any racing game ever created and if it has a few jaggies here or there I wouldnt care.

   FF7 and many jaggies and it was my favorite game of all time! It had a great story, great gameplay and it was just a very fun game. MGS was my 2nd favorite game ever and it wasnt jaggie-proof. It was fun great story and terrific gameplay.



     The important thing is graphics dont mean ANYTHING if the gameplay/storyline is messed up. If I played a game that had NO jaggies and looked more than real but had horrible gameplay and a story I was burn the game.

yer missing the point, the blur distracts, NOT ADDS, to the racing experience

look at the area beside and behind the car, they use bumpmapping, but ANYTHING in front of yer car, N64 style baby!

jaggies, i dont mind at all, i almost expect them
but THIS is pathetic
feels like im gonna drive on vaseline at any second

made you mad??  come on man, playing as Raiden, you get Raiden in all his glory, which added 100x to the storyline, plus you had Snake by your side the whole time adding input and they handled it in such a way that it made snake\'s character 100x better.. it made you mad?  your just as shallow as those who say Jaggies ruin a game..

PSX couldnt do AA

Bob,

May I direct you to this thread: http://www.psx2central.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=16709

A little old, but the feeling was there.

[Bobs_Hardware]

wow :eek:  lots of things in that thread i\'d like to reply to..

i even disagree with some of the things Ryu said!  now that\'s rare..

but my point was that playing as Snake for the sake of playing as snake, is shallow.. his character was improved much more the way Hideo did it.

Snake was still the main character, he just wasnt the main playable one.. this is how hideo wanted it

people thought the second half sucked??  yeesh, i thought (besides the tanker episode) the first half sucked, and the second half was fantastic..

(we haves gotten off topic me thinks  )

Why do you post ugly pics?

You were right when you said you\'re full of crap 95% of time:) ...no offense...

ugly pics?  thats a perfect example of my complaint.  the blur

have you played the game?  if so, you cannot honestly say the blur isnt distracting.  look below and above the line in the pic i made.

me thinks chrono said what im thinking

Damn BizioEE, take the xbox outta your ass..
I know you love it, but its just a console

I really don\'t want another racing game, even if it is good.

You may not, but millions of other people do!

well what can I say, I thought this game would be good, but didnt think it would be better than anything I already had on PS2... I have to admit I was wrong!

I played this game at the weekend and I personally think it is the best looking rally game Ive ever played.  The only thing I dont think is better are the car models.  Id say they appear if anything to have slightly less detail and a bit of allaising probs, but nothing to make a major difference.  Where it excells in my opinion is in the track detail and overall solidness.  I really dont think the blurring is a problem when its running.  I still think WRC is excellant and the rally stages on GT3 cool aswell... but in terms of graphics, this game would defo get my vote over the PS2 equivalent, and Im a PS2 owner!

i would of loved it if it wasn\'t for some of the GOD awful graphics , the fact that i have already played GT3 and WRC ....and the fact you have to wrestle with a BEAR sized contoller to get your car round the track !

 


the left nipple is brake

the right is the Gass !

LOL.... I didnt find the controller a problem.... perhaps Ive got bigger hands

i would of loved it if it wasn\'t for some of the GOD awful graphics

You do know honesty is the best policy?
