Editorial Reviews :
Sega Rally 2 is the sequel to an arcade game that made its home debut on the ill-fated Sega Saturn video game console. Despite the Saturn's demise, the original Sega Rally still holds a warm place in the heart of video game fanatics as one of the best arcade-style racing games ever created. Now the series follow-up hits the console system after a successful run in arcades. And with cars and tracks not found in the standup version, Sega Rally 2 fans should be very pleased with Sega's efforts to enhance the gameplay fun for the Dreamcast version. On the flip side, casual racing fans may find the difficulty level a bit too advanced for their tastes.
Sega Rally 2 favors more of an arcade-style fantasy physics model than its predecessor, but don't expect this game to be a Sunday drive. Those looking for an exciting romp behind the wheel will likely be disappointed after numerous sideline crashes and races end prematurely due to expired time. Purists and road jockeys weaned on the likes of Gran Turismo may be able to handle the challenge factor here, but casual arcade-style racing fans may find the race too hot to handle for long-term, frustration-free fun.
Buyer Reviews :
Sega Rally 2 is a perfect conversion of the arcade game on the Dreamcast, and there's also plenty of extras to keep you busy. Additional tracks, more cars to choose from, and the ability to customize your selected car add replay value. Keep in mind however, that Sega Rally 2 was originally designed with arcade play in mind. That means that it never approaches the depth of Sony's Gran Turismo games, and it's geared torward those who just like to pick up the controller and go. My only gripe is with the ridiculous difficulty of the game in the 10 year races mode. In some of the later tracks, you have to execute the race flawlessly in order to even get a decent rank. This gets extremely annoying, because you have to beat them in order to unlock all of the cars. Oh yeah, there's also some slowdown here and there. The game seems to switch framerate speeds in the middle of the action, but this can be fixed considerably with the 60 fps code (it removes effects like mud and water sprays to boost the game speed). If you are waiting for a racer with alot of depth to come out on the Dreamcast, you may want to pass this one up. If you just want a quick racing fix though, Sega Rally 2 should be enough to satisfy you.
