You can choose from more than 40 rally cars and race on different tracks from Australia, the frozen Nordic, and the Pacific Northwest. As you test your skills in five different rally sports, you'll experience variable weather conditions, broken windows and missing hoods, and realistic physics. Expand

    There is a huge single player career to play through with a tremendous variety of locations and courses, the graphics are so good that no description could do them justice and the handling is perfect, making for a supremely enjoyable gaming experience.
  2. Rallisport Challenge 2 should win the award as the best looking game on the Xbox. Its graphics are nothing short of amazing, but the audio package is typical for racing games.
  3. Despite the addition of greater physical damage to your cars this time around, I rarely feared for my life, which is something I look forward to in a rally game. [June 2004, p.131]
  4. If you're a sim nut, avoid Rallisport Challenge 2 like the plague. After this review, I seriously can't see myself ever wanting to play this title again...If you like mindless trigger mashing and insane powerslides (even if they're artificially forced), then it's probably a 4/5 for you.

    The poor reviewer (read: bastard) at Operation Sports obviously doesn't know what he's talking about....

    This is an incredibly rich driving game. It's bar-none, the best way to get out from your mid-life crisis, even if you're under 40. Nothing like a heart-thumping romp against (very good) AI, and I haven't even touched multiplayer online racing yet! If you must buy one game this week, make it this one. Expand

    This visually stunning game offers little if any driving challenge. It is basically a pure arcade racer trying to pass itself off as something else. The handling is so easy and unexciting that the experience quickly becomes tedious. The stages are beautiful, painterly even and everything moves quickly and smoothly. Expand
