In V-Rally 2, they've tweaked the car flipping quotient so that it's a lot more tolerant of bad driving. You can now scrape along the side of the road, or even run up a slope, without constantly falling into last place. The physics of the cars have also taken on more bounce; they feel lighter, more buoyant and absolutely responsive. The real highlight of the game is how smooth it can maintain 30 fps even while you're neck-to-neck with three other cars.
This helps V-Rally 2 achieve a sense of speed not commonly seen in a rally racer. The car models are also among some of the best I've seen on the PlayStation, with both exterior and interior vehicle detail.
A couple gripes; There's no way to configure the game to use the other analog stick as a throttle, and your navigator's voice quickly begins to grate. Otherwise, V-Rally 2 is the perfect balance between arcade fun and sim intensity. This is considerably better than the original V-Rally, and it seems that a lot of lessons have been learned about what people want from this kind of game. The cars no longer flip over at the slightest hint of trouble, and they now have much more of a Sega Rally-type feel to them.
The controls are spot-on, the graphics are excellent, and the selection of cars will have ardent Euro car fans enthralled. This is a superb racing game VR 2 is every bit as fun as Sony's Rally Cross 2 , plus it gives you real cars and authentic Rally features. It's the perfect combination and easily my favorite Rally game to date. The changes made to vehicle physics and handling have done wonders.
It's more forgiving than V-Rally yet not too soft and arcade-like; it's just right. Replay value is high due to voluminous amounts of tracks and cars. Two-player works great as well. Rally fans must have this game. V-Rally 2 is put together extremely well, from the opening cinemas to the gameplay itself. The frame-rate stays high, and courses though a tad short in some cases are designed well.
Although, I have a preference for the tracks I created with the in-game editor--especially the one with the super-high jump. The game is pretty amazing graphically, too especially night courses when the headlights come on. Overall, it's a bit technical but it's also fun.
Bring your passport when you play Need for Speed V-Rally. EA takes its popular racing series global on 42 stages in eight locales ranging from Africa to Sweden, Unlike previous editions of Need for Speed, V-Rally is hardcore rally racing that emphasizes vehicle control so you can deal with the inevitable slides, flips, and rolls on the games courses. Choose from 11 official cars, then play solo or take on a friend for smooth split-screen action. Three game modes and a detailed customization menu ensure an ideal racing experience for all.
The new "co-pilot voice-over" feature provides useful warnings of impending twists in the road. The graphics are exquisite, featuring richly detailed, smooth scrolling environments that effectively convey a sense of depth and distance with only minor occurrences of pop-up. Came control is responsive, but requires patience and practice, so arcade drivers will easily be frustrated.
The sound effects are adequate, but the hard-rock music all sounds the same. Although it may not be the game for speed freaks, rally enthusiasts will immediately appreciate the depth and details of this well-crafted game. It's a worthy addition to the Need for Speed lineage.
The racing field is getting more and more crowded so it takes something special to stand out from the rest of the pack.
Electronic Arts has slapped the Need for Speed name on a rally game for name recognition and have hoped for a winner. The obvious question is how does it stack up against the other racers on the market? V-Rally throws an enormous 42 tracks, 11 cars and weather ranging from snow to rain, directly in your face.
Your cars are completely customizable and you have a number of different racing modes to play. Don't forget to throw in the two-player split screen for some head to head racing and what you end up with is a decent game that is not without flaws.
Racing games seem to have taken over fighting games as the current rage. There have been tons of racers released lately, each looking for a niche that will let their game slide ahead of the pack. V-Rally looks to attack the rally racing niche, which is probably one of the least represented of the racing styles around.
For those not familiar with rally racing, let me explain. Rally racing is races through different terrain in 4-wheel drive vehicles. The vehicles are usually modified economy cars like the Honda Civic or a Subaru. These cars will race one race on muddy roads, another on gravel and a third race across the dirt of a jungle. There are also races at night, in the snow and ice and across dry pavement. Basically, a rally race is a race that the pretty boys shy away from.
This is down and dirty racing. The main thing this game has going for it, aside from the minimal competition in this field, is the unheard of number of tracks. This game has 42 tracks. Some of the tracks are set in a lapping configuration so you can set the number of laps per race. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
Home Emulators Platforms Games. All PSX Games. Things get harder later on - the barked instructions are non-stop and the comers as treacherous as anything the Belgian Grand Prix could throw at you in the rain! Different play modes include Standard Time Trial, Arcade, Trophy and Championship, and to progress and open up the theoretical maximum of 80 circuits and 26 cars you have to work your way through sets of tracks, with your cumulative time for the lot taken as your finishing position. This means you can't relax even you're way out in front.
There's no option to race online against others, as usual. Lag is still the suspect that is dragging down the station every time we ask about the absence of proper multiplayer support, but there are enough people with high-speed connections.
It's also the feature that could make a console conversion like this. By way of compensation, you can register with V-Rally 2 Online and upload scores and tracks made with the supplied editor , but the only true multiplayer action is two-player split-screen.
It's fun, granted, but if you're already privy to a decent rally game then there's nothing here that should make you think twice about shelling out for more. As for the Expert Edition tag? If this is for experts, we'd like to see the version designed for those with learning difficulties.
