GameCube Rally racer, ported from the Europe-only PS2 game. Rally Championship features 25 officially licensed cars from Peugeot, Honda, Ford, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and more. It boasts 33 races across six rallies over four global regions -- everything from ice to dirt, to rain and snow, to day and night, and from Africa to Whales. It's got real car physics so that when you speed over a bump your Lancer's suspension will work overtime, and if you take a corner too fast you may find your car spinning out of control. It has real-time car damage so that headlights crush out, hoods cave in, bumpers fall off, and much, more -- and it all transpires with satisfying thumps and bangs. Also features multiple views, from third-person to first-person and cockpit.
Here in the states, blinded by NASCAR, we really don't know anything about the rally. You'd think with all that empty space just sitting around Oklahoma, or wherever they keep it, that we'd have scads of these off-road endurance tests. But then there'd be the whole issue of size. Rally entrants trim all the fat in favor of lean machines that look like those really expensive remote-control vehicles found at the community center on Thursday nights. There's just no room for an SUV on the ribbon-like routes snaking along cliffs that characterize rally sport. Now, straight outta Britain is Rally Championship, trying to bring a little endurance to the GameCube. Read More »
