First one is still my most played game on split screen, single player soon wears off though. Also looking forward to this release.

It's down for May 21 at Play but hopefully they will move it forward and then Dixons/Currys do even further.
This is a must buy for me, can't wait to play it on Live as well.

The video I saw of this showed some really bad slowdown in 2-player split-screen mode - could spoil it a bit :(. Also, there didn't seem to be much car damage happening...
But it does look very nice from the screenshots, though...

Does anyone know if you can have a Windscreen viewpoint like CMR, I loved the added weather effects making it more challenging to keep on track and it added that bit more realism.
The thing is ..........with this AND Toca Race Driver 2......coming out within a month of each other which one do you go for:confused: ....?

Toca 2 (or is it V8 Race Challenge 2?) out of morbid curiosity and Rallisport 2 cos it's the sequel to the only racing game I really liked on the XB.

I haven';t got an XBOX, but have played this on the PC, graphics are very good and gameplay too, although it can be very difficult in some races. Might buy an XBOX, thinking about it anyhows.
There some really good info on the game over at the http://www.xblracing.com forums. One of the mods there is actually invoved in producing the game. Various snippets are things like leaderboards ghosts are downloadable ala PGR2. For Live you can have 2-16 cars ghosts, or 2-4 cars with collision. By ghosts it means your opponents cars are just outlines of the cars and totally transparent "inside" the outline and no collisions. Worth reading the threads for.
Is this out for the PC then? May need to ament the thread title if it is.

It'll probably find it's way on the PC eventually. The first one did not long after it was released on the xbox. About 6 months or so I reckon, unless it's going to be an xbox exclusive but I don't think this will be the case.

Can't comment on the reliability of that since it comes from an Xbox Racing Forum.
btw what's 131 x 50 ?
I already said. That's how many and the size of all the rar files that people are leeching.
How different is it to the PC version of the first game...which tbh i thought was pants in all areas cept for graphics. (though alot of that might have been due to the utter lack of thought that went into converting the menu system)
I loved the original (although not played it in a while...), definately have to get the sequel! :thumbs:

Whoops sorry Dave I missed that. My mind automatically blacks out anything suggesting piracy, call me Honest Matt if you will, that's just the way I am. :)
Yeh - can't wait for this game either! Might actually get me to play something else other than PGR2 on Live! Haven't even touched Splinter Cell 2, Links or Rainbow Six yet!!!
This is absolutely fantastic. Dare i say, it even gives PGR2 a run for its money :eek:
It looks absolutely superb, plays superbly, and feels generally very polished.
My only (very minor) criticism is that it does seem rather easy so far, & i'm by no means the greatest driving gamer.
Overall 9.9/10
Sounds great :D
IIRC the first one was mega easy for ages, then got much harder later on. So high hopes for this - especially on live :D

Shame on you :nono:
Get on those 2 games NOW :D
Best. Rally. Game. Ever.
Love it to bits, maybe even more than the woman in my life! Hmm maybe if it could give me sexual pleasures then yes but those graphics are so slick and sexy! If you ever want to show off your xbox get this game. Being a driving game fanatic I can be quite critical sometimes and when I fired this one up watched the intro and drooled a bit, I simply couldn't wait. Then there I was selecting my car tuning it and ready to go. 3..2..1..GO! Stunning. Then i came to the 1st bend. Disappointed, or so I thought. I took me around a 30mins to an hour to get used to the handling but I dont know how I wanted that car to go round the first corner, it must have been because sometimes I think I'm a driving god and then when I lost total control was disappointed? Anyway been playing for ages now and completed the amateur career and I just cant put it down. Moving on to professional career now and hope its a bit more challenging. I was always winning by a min of 20secs per race in the amateur career, bit too easy. Some of the stages are simply breathtaking and you might crash simply because your admiring the scenery and replays are cool. Watching your car power slide round hairpins in super slowmotion is sooo good. Cant check out multiplayer yet, I'll do that when I purchase the full game but this is soo much better than TOCA 2, but then it is a whole different kettle of fish...
buy it.
9.6/10 :clap:
oh yeah its widescreen and dolby including custom tracks.

Played this last night and seems pretty good - at least the cars have a bit of weight about them now, unlike the first one.. :gag: Great graphics and the handling is definately weighted towards arcade rather than sim.
Good fun! :D
Is it just me or do the cars look and feels massive..? There's no way two lanes of traffic could safely traverse some of those 'proper' tunnels (not those shed efforts in Sweden).. :nuts:
As gta15 the manual control slow-mo replays are fantastic... :dork:

The 1st 4 pics in particular look almost photo like. Pretty impressive. I think I will definitely be getting RSC2. The XSN angle of RSC2 appeals also as it works really well with Links. Can't see much multiplayer racing on those narrow tracks though. The last few pics show the wireframe a bit.

OMG just how good does it look. :eek:
People are getting worried about the narrow tracks ruining the racing, I had some absolute classic four player split races on the first one, I cant see as this being too much different. Of course there won't be the split. There's gonna be bumping but shouldn't derive from it too much.
I doubt I'll bother too much with wireframe either but I dunno.

i found the bumping pretty fun especially if damage is on high and you end up crashing them into a wall :)
A few races we had we used the wireframe cars but imo theres no problem with the track sizes.

Nope - I had pre ordered it and went in yesterday cause I forgot when it was supposed to be delivered - they told me it had been put back till July . Hopefully they were talking out of their hoop but they definitly told me this.
hmm this annoys.. hopefully they were misinformed. its not like the game isnt finished!
bah.. that was going to be my 2nd game for my hideous xbox .. looks like i'll have to wait
Game's web site still has it as the 21st May. I checked on xblracing forums where one of the people responsible for the game posts and there's no mention of a date change. So hopefully their "hoops are being well talked out of"
Edit Doh - get forums name correct. Plus a collection of stunning (old and new) screen shots here (http://www.xblracing.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=20410) just to wet the appetite.

He also said, graphics aside he wasn't that impressed. I am still hopefully tho.

Who's getting this on the day of release then?
Tag is "ccartmell" if anyone wants a few games.
This game is STUNNING... plays like silk..
I love racers but prefer the arcade type to the PGR's/GT4's of the world... sliding round corners is so damn cool..
Very nice game

eh? I wouldn't put PGR in the same game class as GT4? PGR is ALL a bout sliding round corners..!
Perhaps that was supposed to be TOCA2/GT4? In which case I tend to agree.. however I will be checking out Fozzy Bear racing (or whatever it is called) when it's released.

Well I bought it today and I really wish I hadn't bothered. It's crap on Live. Most people have it set to only display wireframe models of the cars to help with lag. you can only talk to the person infront or behind you which is rubbish.
£35 well spent:gag: Oh and the graphic are no better then any other rally game out there.
You can only talk to in front and behind? Is that on 4 player as well?

I know it's a small feature, but you can play single player and be signed in at the same time. Toca 2 - take note.
Oh, and I noticed it for £34.97 in Dixons today.

I consider that a big feature these days! All games should have it as standard, even those that don't offer Live play.
IIRC, Prince of Persia lets you do that.
Bought it in Gamestation..

I got this today and it is awesome. Even the Crossover races are much better than I thought they were going to be. The level of detail in the different environments and the handling of the cars makes Rallisport Challenge 2 one of the most enjoyable racing games to play. I'm a big fan of the original (played it before Halo on X-box launch day if I remember right). I used to play on Normal difficulty but I didn't notice a difficulty select option when starting my profile/career. Are the Amateur, Pro, Champion (etc) classes now part of the difficulty selection or have I missed something? Already on 300 points out of 420 in Amateur class after 15 events.
Think i'll go and buy this tomorrow morning.:D

Is this better than TOCA 2??? I've already got PGR 2 and buying this as well as having TOCA 2 seems like an over kill.
So should i trade in TOCA for this???
Definately one worth buying.
Had about 6 races on xbox live, won 3 as it happens :eek:
Pretty easy to get used to the handling actually, especially after playing pgr2 quite a bit recently.
Tried two modes so far: rally and rallycross. 4 players and no slowdown what so ever. The width of the tracks haven't caused any problems so far, none of the races have been that close to tell.

I wouldn't trade in TOCA 2 for this even though in some ways TOCA 2 did seem to be influenced by the variety of racing in the original Rallisport Challenge (Ice Racing for instance). But between PGR2, TOCA 2 and Rallisport Challenge 2 any other racing game is going to have to offer something really special to warrant a purchase against these. I don't have X-box Live and I think all these three games offer great value for money even if you intend to only play them offline.
I dumped TOCA2 for this. I am glad I did. This is a fun game. I think my driving skills would prefer the tracks to be a little wider in places (bridges"!"!!) as I dont fancy trying to learn all the courses..
Anyway.. liking it .. very pretty. Lots of scenery.. the birds are a bit of an afterthought tho! ;)
Still.. a very enjoyable game. Will be going on LIVE later i think..

This game is great. So far, I've completed the Amateur and have almost finished the Pro section.
I've played once on Live and it was great but wanted to get some better cars before I played again.
I ended up playing this most of the day. The graphics really are something else :D
Just completed amateur. Took 2 hrs according to the stats. Came 1st in every race first go apart from one where I was second and redid it to get 1st for completeness. Good game. I like the ice racing which is good fun.
Does anyone remember when the X-box was first launched there was a Rallisport Challenge thread on here where you had to get the best time on one stage or circuit in a specific car. The one I remember most (checks records) was the Ice Racing, North Hill Circuit using only the Ford Escort Cosworth. You could change the car settings however you wanted but you had to use that car on that circuit in time trial mode. On the 15/4/2002 I got a lap time of 31.92 on the North Hill Circuit with the Escort Cosworth. It helped me in the game as well because I got 5330 points for Ice Racing Open in Career mode using the same car.
With the UK release of Rallisport Challenge 2 maybe we could do something similar. The format of this challenge probably sounds a bit redundant to those with X-box Live, but not everyone is online. If there's a stage or circuit that people find difficult, some friendly competition might help to turn it into one of the easier ones. Or maybe there's somebody who thinks they can't be beaten on one stage and would like to challenge us.

The manual seems wrong or unclear in it's description of how the career selection works. It indicates you select the difficulty when you create a career. But there's no selection on that screen. Only once you select the career is there a selection of difficulties along the centre of the screen. Maybe once you've picked or started one of these you can't alter it.

I'd be interested, it's a quality game.
really not impressed with the live implementation tho. you CAN only talk to the person in front and behind. No idea why but its really annoying. :cuckoo:
Im still not sold on the track width either, however i do not mind the wireframe concept in multiplayer. Although when you have several wire frames in front of you, its hard to see what the track is doing... :(
beautiful graphics, and good sound. I just wish the LIVE implementation was more PGR2 instead of (I think) moto gp..

Great game, had a go at a couple of hill climbs on Live and the wireframe thing didn't seem as bad as I thought it was going to be.

On Rallisport Challenge there was the difficulty settings you couldn't change once you had made your profile. This difficulty setting affected the points you got in Career mode and the driver AI. It looks like the difficulty setting no longer exists and they have just incorporated increased difficulty into the driving classes as you advance. You don't have to start on Amateur or even Pro but each class adds up to the total points you can earn and you would have to do that class eventually to get maximum points. So even though it is very easy, Amateur class is a good way to learn some of the stages and circuits, to unlock some stuff and to get 420 points on the board.
After approx 2 hours:

I'd be up for XSN. It's one of the reasons I got this game as the rally single car aspect fits nicely. If it's like the way we do the golf (Links) it's probably worth setting a competition up soonish with 7 days before the start. That way it gives enough people time to sign up. Then end the competition 7 days after that. If you get enough people signed up you can always start early.

I've joined but you've not password protected it as I didn't need one. That means anyone could join.

Nope - see previous msg. I think a private one means you have to send invites via gamertags. But I think you can password protect a public tournament so that only people who know it can get in. Mr Speed is your man for instructions as he sets all our golf ones up.

You join the competition via the XSN wensite using the name and pwd given in the thread.
My copy arrived this morning so I've joined... Hopefull will get time to practice before tomorrow!
Thanks for the invite Sabre UK, when is the deadline to complete the competition? My copy from Amazon hasn't arrived yet.
Nice one, joined. So we have to wait until tomorrow to begin?
Joined :) Is there no restriction on cars then?
I've joined - haven't even unwrapped this yet, but I intend to have a go later.
Seems like picking it up was a sensible choice though.

Hi mate, round one is tomorrow 11:59PST, but the event is now full. I didn't realise it would get full so fast.
Next time I'll make it for more people, this one was only for 8.
Career Points: 620 (Amateur 420, Pro 200)
Events Completed (Amateur 21 / 21, Pro 10 / 36)
You can definitely notice the jump in difficulty from Amateur to Pro. I'm still getting 20 points for each event but there have been a few stages where I didn't get the fastest time on one stage. I wasn't too keen on the night-time rally stage in Sweden (SS4 Heden) that I was just on. You have to concentrate on the Sweden stages more than the others so trying to navigate at night is even more tricky.

The night ice races are hellish. One slip up on pro and you're screwed. I've had to re-attempt them more than a few times.

When you select XSN in the game it says something like "get your password ready" - is that the password from above, or one that will be emailed to me or something? :confused:
Those night races are very difficult, I just did one at night in heavy rain and a really long spanish one - not easy at all!
I think the hill climbs are defintely my favourite part of the game so far (as it was with the original), you can really give it some welly when coming down the hills! :D

How come Sabre did two races? His avg time is different as well, I don't get it...
Which Hill Climb stage is the competition for? I don't have X-box Live but would like to have a bash at getting a time on it. Which car can/should I use?

Man it's crazy!:nuts:
Jackknife Base 1:16.102 (Final)
Jackknife Ridge 1:07.523
Jackknife Ascent 3:58.566
All times in the Peugeot 405 T16. Not a brilliant time, but breaking the 4 minute barrier for Jackknife Ascent is a good milestone to reach. Plenty of room for improvement though.
Had a proper go at this today (instead of 2am last night!) and set a decent time in the Nedmobile (AKA Peugeot 405 T16).

Agreed, 1:14 is an excellent time for Jackknife Base. I'm not on X-box Live so I can't see everyones' times and I think I'll stick with the three times I've posted above. I suspect for Ridge you'll only be able to shave a couple of seconds off 1:03. But you should be able to get a good 10+ seconds off my Ascent time of 3:51.
Hmm this is proving a toughie....

Smeg - Did I miss the first round? Bottoms (quite literally).
Must...try...harder...
Edit : Which round are we on now? :nuts:
Thanks for the update reecie. Excellent time there Matt. :thumbs:
So it is Jackknife Ascent up next, I've got 3:51.578. But I got that time before improving on Ridge and it included a poor Base run within that time. So I think 10 to 15 seconds or more can easily be taken off that time. However, it is much harder to maintain the same level of concentration on a longer stage, even if it includes 2 of the 3 stages you know very well. Good luck, I hope to have a few attempts this evening.

No m8. Once started you can't join plus it was full although Deathchef hasn't taken part in any rounds so far. It will finish 8am tomorrow (26th) so look out for another starting and join that. The next will hopefully have 16 players.

dan13l, I think we are on Jackknife Ascent now but we might still be on Jackknife Ridge for a few hours, I'm not sure. Why not just take part and post your times as I've done until the next competition, it will be good practice. You can only use one of the first 4 Hillclimb cars (the first class), try the 405 T16.
Oh good the time counted :D

No worries, I'll join the next one, Im already on XSN for Links, Top Spin etc... I'll keep an eye out for the next compo.
I received my copy last night, very impressed so far.
So with the XSN tournament you can race the same stage as many times as you like before the round deadline? And the fastest time is the time that gets recorded?
Is there a restriction on what cars can be used?

That's right yes, you can look at the XSN website and see all the details of each others races too, such as what car they used, top speed, average speed and the number of attempts. It's really good!
Jackknife Ascent: Latest time
3:46.538
(and I still had time to crash into a tree/reset the car).
Cheers twicenightly, I was worried that it was a 'one shot' deal. In which case it could prove very frustrating.

Is that set by the Tournament Commissioner?
I find it unusual in normal Live play the host can force all the other racers to use a certain camera position. Force manual/auto Gears, force car etc... but camera. Odd.
I suppose it is harder to drive in car/bumper view as opposed to behind the car but I think it's more of a preference.
Can you imagine if you were forced to use the 1st person/rider view on MGP2!! :gag: :D

I see that when you look at your friends list on this game it says:
What game they're playing
Whether they are playing or not ("Idle")
Whether they have voice on or not
How long they have been on
If they are playing Rallisport then it shows what track they are on, what position they are in and even how far around the track they are. If they aren't racing it shows them as "Idle" or "Watching Replay"
Is it only this game that does this as I don't remember any other games giving all that info?
I thought Links did the same thing, doesn't it tell you what hole they're on and that sort of thing.
Jackknife Ascent: 3:45.528
Unfortunately, on the last easy corner before the end of the stage I crashed, then had to reset my car but I still beat my previous best time. So I think a time below 3:40 is going to be essential to win this round. I think it is even possible that a time closer to 3:30 is possible because my Jackknife Base time still wasn't that good.

Cheers twicenightly, I was worried that it was a 'one shot' deal. In which case it could prove very frustrating.
Is that set by the Tournament Commissioner?
I find it unusual in normal Live play the host can force all the other racers to use a certain camera position. Force manual/auto Gears, force car etc... but camera. Odd.
I suppose it is harder to drive in car/bumper view as opposed to behind the car but I think it's more of a preference.
Can you imagine if you were forced to use the 1st person/rider view on MGP2!! :gag: :D
the only way to play racing games is bumper/first person view!! behind car sucks big time, no sense of speed!!!! :)

the problem with this game is that you have to drive behind the car on some courses as you simply can't see whats coming otherwise.
3:33:352 - that will do for me, I just hope Matt's already gone to bed :suspect: :lol:
Just had time to do one go (and a pretty rubbish time) before work. I think it would be better to have a couple of days perhaps to do each round as I was out all last night so had no chance of playing. Still it's the taking part that counts :) It would be better if it was like links so you could do the rounds in any order when you wanted rather than having to wait for a new code.

I thought that might happen.... so I got up early. Hope I got time.
Ok i give up, couldn't beat my 1.36. Managed a 1.37 with a crash but it's annoying me to the point of quite bad language now :p
Well done Martin :thumbs:
Git. ;)

I've been marked as a DNF :( Despite having recorded my time a 07:30 this morning. Not fair :cry:
Edit: Still a good competition - well fought out at all levels.

Yeah, even though I did pretty badly I really enjoyed it and will definitely go for the next one
When's the next one starting? Count me in :)
Sadly I think the deadlines were too tight - not everyone managed to compete in yesterdays Round. Deathchef didn't manage any of them :(.
We got tons of people for the next one. May I suggest:
Season for 64, with a password so no worry about all slots filling up:
5 rounds - one for each event, Hill Climb, Rally, Rallycross, Ice Racing, Crossover.
Limited to the first car class in each event.
And the early tracks which everyone will have.
Thoughts?

Can you do all those events individually then?
If so will our rankings for the events like rallycross be based on times, scores or positions?
Perhaps a couple of days per round or something? I found it a bit tight on the last event last night, only having time to pop on and do a few attempts
Didn't know you could have as many as 64 people :nuts: That's excellent! Be great if we get that kind of figure playing!
You can do each thing individually or with friends. Obviously with friends will make it ******* hard - I did the first hill climb with Martin and, well, it was difficult with two people. Perhaps have collisions turned off for the next one so a lot of us could all get together to do some of them.
The different modes are: Round Robin - got to meet up, arrange a time for people to race, then it goes knockout. Very hard to organise IMO.
Season - wot we dun.
Team Season - errrr like Season but in teams.
You can indeed have up to 64 people. I'm thinking a week for each event, spanning a total of 5 weeks. Giving everyone plenty of time on it. I'm happy to set it up or someone else can, I really don't mind :D

Excellent idea, count me in. 64 racers - sweet.
I'll be racing individually, even though you can't hit the wireframe ghosts I still find them distracting.

A week per event sounds like a good idea, then people will all have a chance to have a go.
I would set it up now but I'm not near an Xbox so can't see the best courses so if anyone wants to set it up I'll join too.
