As great as this game was at the time, Rallisport Challenge 2 blew this game out of the park. RSC2 is still my favorite rally game of all time. The landscapes are pretty, and the handling is one of the best I have ever seen in any racing game ever. Thanks for both this review and NFSMW and keep up the great work!

I never got a chance to play the first Rallisport, but man, am I glad to have played part 2. Loved the option to upload my own MP3s on the xbox console and use that to race with. so many great memories of doing that. i wish they would bring back that option.
I love it when you review racing games

Yes and how painfully annoying and insane the police fines are. That ruined what otherwise is an absolute amazing game overall.
Its amazing how good this game looks, reflecting light on different surfaces of the car, 17 years ago. Rallisport Challenge 2 looked even better and is one of the only childhood games I can look back and say they still look good.

I remember playing this game endlessly on the Xbox growing up in early 2000's! Reminds me of the classic Colin McRae games too
You should take a look at SEGA Rally on Xbox 360. A very fun and underrated racing game in my opinion.

Very underrated, love the PSP version too.
So glad I recently found this channel. I've been buying tons of retro racing game in the last few months, and you've reviewed almost all of them. This game and its sequel were among my recent pickups. Fun games.
Man this was my childhood right here, and i couldnt remeber for the life of me what this game was called XD
Great video! I love the way you do quick reviews!
I have this game for both the PC and original Xbox. It is awesome!
The graphics for RC were outstanding for the time, especially for a console. It still holds up pretty well today, though RC2 looks better.

My dad bought this game when it came out. First time I actually played it was about two years ago. And I really enjoyed this game. Nice to see someone actually covering it in a video.
I enjoy your reviews. Great work!
First game I ever worked on was porting this to PC. Fun to see a review of it now ColourShedProductions

I had this game. I recall when this came out on the OG box. It was insane, I was hooked on this game. Freaking incredible.
I loved RSC2 - will you be checking it out in future?

@@DOSBrony The Xbox is a gold mine of fantastic racing games (and some not-so-good racing games that I still adore). RalliSport Challenge and RSC2, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing and PGR2 (which is my personal favourite), various Colin McRae Rally titles, OutRun 2006, Sega GT 2002, Need For Speed Underground 2, Burnout 2/3/Revenge, Midtown Madness 3, The TOCA/V8 Supercars games, Midnight Club 3, Juiced, the list goes on. I also have a soft spot for games that weren't as well received but that I loved like Dakar 2 and Quantum Redshift. I very patiently await the day that Microsoft brings PGR and PGR2 (or really any of the above) to Xbox Backwards Compatibility.

Great review! Must dig it out and give it a go on the xbox 360. Rallisport challenge 2 is fantastic! But sadly not backwards compatable.
Well done for covering this awesome game. This was a real test of graphical horsepower back in the "earlier" days of the PC's march towards photorealism. This game was no slouch, considering such greatness which came before. Such as Colin McRae Rally | 2.0
This is the game that made me buy an XBox. haha I played a demo version of this at Walmart and had to have more of it in my life. MUCH MORE! Thanks for the review man. Love the channel! Also, greetings from NC, USA!
This was also my first game on OG Xbox was thinking about it the other day then this came up. Good stuff!
Oh wow I was just thinking of getting this game, best timing for a review ever! XD
Just picked this up after watching your review, its pretty dam good.
Love your reviews, more please.
8:08 This has sort of been done in the Forza Horizon series, more specifically the Horizon Rally DLC in the first game.
I had a playstation 2 but love rally game's and always heard the Xbox had way better rally game's, I might pick up a Xbox just to find out, or though I did actually like Richard Burn's on PlayStation 2 and WRC rally Evolved.
Awesome review man! Being a huge Xbox 360 fan, I recently decided to buy an old Xbox about 2 years ago and also bought the Pound HDMI kit for it and ended up loving the system so much I bought 3 more for backup and now have over 100 OG Xbox titles. Dirt Cheap mind you (one OG Xbox I only paid $10 canadian for). Rallisport Challenge is a blast and I love how you mention the positive aspects of this game instead of just bashing it like IGN does on all their reviews. And to answer your question, Forza did take their tracks to the sand and to the rally aspects with their the Horizon titles, just not the snow. The rally DLC for Forza Horizon 1 is amazing! Loved your comment about all the Xbox games having aggressive A.I.....so true!
This game was fantastic 20 years ago and is still now. My friends and I played so many rally games in the past years. Various titles of Dirt or Colin McCrae. This one is more of an arcade type of rally, which makes it fun for a quick challenge because the car almost never gets stuck and never breaks. We started playing Dirt Rally for 10 minutes but then kept playing Rallisport Challenge for 2 hours.
Excuse me but this game was released for Windows aswell but great video as always! i loved playing this as a kid
This game was my childhood on the xbox, thanks!
Another bangin review dude :)
These thumbnails are blending together man, I almost didn't notice it was a new one.
AYE I love Your racing game reviews, maybe check out the later titles in the WRC series for the PS2? I still love Rally Evolved and play it on the emulator with my T300.
Keep up the hard work, you'll going to expload!
You need to do a review of Enthusia Professional Racing!

@@Converge3 And it's also the first A.I. to actually make me sweat if you choose a difficult race. They didn't follow a solid path and felt life like when they were trying to pass you.
This is still one of my favourite rally game of all time, and Rallisport Challenge 2 as well. Wish they add these games to backward compatibility list someday.
Wow, only 2 days after I get the idea to suggest this series in the comments (Which I forgot to do), this pops up! I hope you plan to review RSC2, it's an improvement and one of my top 5 games on the OG xbox.
You should totally review number 2 it's fantastic
Fun fact! The game demos were for the following: Mechassault Project Gotham Racing There was also a Fast and Furious game and something else that I cant remember. It was some sort of third person shooter game. Also this is one of my favorite racing games of all time.
This really takes me back, mainly because Rallisport Challenge was my introduction to Xbox. Most of my memories of this game come back to how my dad bought it, the Xbox, plus Crazy Taxi 3 and Blinx the Time Sweeper one day, but seeing as my dad is also that guy who likes to haggle on fixed prices in stores, we only paid just over 50% what the total came to. I still feel bad for the guy who sold it to us - he looked so horrified at being haggled with but also like he was so desperate not to lose a big sale, so he just settled on it in the end. It's still an awesome game though. The road stages in particular have this feeling like you're right on the edge of grip, where if you get it right you can be lightning fast, but pushing it a little too far means game over, and it's always been difficult for racing games to properly nail that - but this still feels tight. The snow stages are great too, you can chain 4-wheel ice drifts through corners like it's nobody's business.
Great review. I used to love this game as a kid. Please review Project Gotham Racing 3, such an underrated game imo
Is the escudo still as OP as it was in Gran Turismo 2?
DICE made MotorHead? Wow, didn't knew that. MotorHead is an awesome game, I recommend making a review on it! Great arcade racer! :)
I bought it last week off eBay for like $6 for the original Xbox I love this game 19 years old and still looks great
i started playing rally games when i first played the colin mcrae demo from the official playstation magazine in 98 or something and i loved it. but in the modern rally games drifting is so unbelievably difficult. its like every dirt track is covered in ice and im driving with slicks.the only parts / tracks i like are the tarmac sections because then its actually fun to maneuver corners.
Rallisport challenge my favourite rally game, and it has 4player Splitscreen!!!, although, apart from the missing Bugeye Subaru, Rallisport challenge 2 improves on everything the first one did!
I loved this game back in the day!
This was the first xbox game I bought. Having got Sega GT2002 and Jet Set Radio Future with it. This brings me back, good times.
Oh my god this a nostalgia trip, man. I was 13 when this game came out andI was mowing lawns for money to buy video games and fucking beef jerky. 15 bucks a lawn and I had like 8 lawns to do so it was pretty good... but this one, fairly wealthy lady gave me fucking 50 bucks to mow her lawn once ever 2 weeks..I mowed that bitches lawn so good, got that 50, went to Willow Video and bought this game. I played it so much and I remember thinking how good it looked and how great the physics were. It got lost though the years but I wish Id have kept it.. Id love to play it again. Great video!
I know other people have already suggested it but I think you should do Test Drive Unlimited. Keep up the good work
very nice review now i am definitely getting this someday also i have a review suggestion for you. May you please review Hot Wheels: World Race for PS2 or Xbox?
Wow....so much nostalgia!
Love the reviews! Are you planning on doing the Burnout or Flatout series at any point?
^^ fingers still crossed for Gran Turismo on PSP. Series will be completed.
This game still looks great, I have it on PC and if I buy an old Xbox I will certainly try to get this one and it's sequel.
Rallisport Challenge was the game that came with the first Xbox I purchased in '03. I had also bought Project Gotham Racing 2, and Baldur's Gate II[?] as well. Of the 3, I had dumped countless hours of enjoyable racing in PGR2 and RSC.
Really wish you'd review 2 as it was the superior game. There are none on youtube newer than 10+ years. This series needs more love
Rallisport challenge 2 was my childhood 😍😍😭
I played this in m childhood and still remember all of it to this day. Omfg.
Is the next forza review coming soon?
The split-screen was the highlight of this game.....
U born for this !
Awesome,the game surely looks cool for the time, can you review Import Tuner Challenge
There is one cool story about this game maybe u know it. There was some guy who played this game on xbox as a kid along with his dad. Some time later his dad died due cancer i think. That guy put xbox in a box and u know forget about it. Ten years later he found a box with xbox in it and it was all dusty something like that. He turn it on and found this game again and played it. But in some stage he found a ghost car u know best stage time which his dad set back 10 years earlier. He played for a little while to catch that dads ghosy time and when he overtaked, he stopped before the finsih line so dads ghost can be there as some memory from his childhood. I dont know if this is true story but its definetly a nice one and emotional.
Just wondering if will do rallisportchallange2 review? I own that game and it was my first ever game too and I’d love to hear you opinion on the game
There are Rally Tracks in Forza Horizon 4, and the implementation of Seasons means you can drive in the snow too. Thus, Microsoft got Arcade Rally Racers covered to some extent.
Might be my favorite rally game ever
This alongside Project Gotham Racing and Sega Rally 95. They're my favourite racing games of all time.
Most fun i had was racing uphill with summer tyres on the wintertrack.
I remember playing this and RSC2 on the original Xbox with my racing wheel when I was like seven years old. The memories are real! RSC2 was good but I think I'd prefer this one for nostalgia purposes, but also for the same reason I prefer GTA IV driving over GTA V driving; the earlier game's cars feel more heavy and realistic than the latter in the series.
Love your vidieos :)
I remember seeing a long trailer of this game years ago when I was just learning what computers are.
“Always stick with all-wheel drive” That’s if the player isn’t a hardcore racer. Some players/drivers have learned throttle management, so RWD is no issue. Look at what Kimi Räikkönen has done. Rally, NASCAR, and F1. All of the cars in those series’ have cars that can slide out easily, and the Iceman has learned how to drive them.
I remember I played the demo version of this game so long ago when my Xbox was still working.
Just bought a copy of this for super cheap at a local used video game store!
This is the game from my childhood :o you should do test drive unlimited 2 or midnight club 2!
this video brought back lost memories
The Colin McRae dirt series please!
Yes I loved this game alot as a kid
I’d love to see you review RalliSport Challenge 2, but I’m guessing you don’t have an original Xbox (RSC2 is not backwards compatible on Xbox 360). Also, you actually can restart races - but only if you selected Beginner difficulty.
The game looked very good for a 2002 title. I had the chance to play it back then!
To use the handbrake on the turns you have to do 3 things….#1Release Accelerator & Press the Brakes for just a moment…#2 Press the E-Brake for as long as needed in order to obtain vehicle position to accelerate through the turn…(sometimes pressing accelerator just before releasing e-brake is required)…#3 Press Accelerator and experience Surgical Drifting through turns!!! Please keep in mind it takes some practice to get timing for this method but you will flyby brotha!!
Man you made better reviews than IGN
One of the best rally games on of Xbox but is it backwards compatible on X1X? Colin McRae 2005 on Xbox is awesome.
Rallisport 2 is one of those games where every racing gamer should try at least once before they die. 1 and 2 were masterpieces of the arcade rally genre.
It got released for pc. I don't remember how long after the initial launch on the xbox. I do remember it playing it on pc as a kid though.
The reason you’re slower on the checkpoint where you go full throttle is either because of the exit of the corner to the start of the straightaway, or your car’s gears are too short, and either have to tune the gears or pick a different car.
I had this game on PC as a Christmas present back in 2002. I missed playing it, so I bought it again from eBay. Never owned an Xbox, so I can't say how that compares to the one on PC.
Rallisport Challenge 1 was also available for PC. I know because I borrowed the game from a cousin back in the day. However, I couldn't get to play it because my PC at the time didn't meet even the minimum requirements, so even thought it could install, it ran horribly. Still, great game and great series and a shame that it's abandoned and nobody has picked it up and bring it to modern gaming.
Forgot about this game, was a good play
You should review Juiced, it is a rather rare game nowadays but hey it was great when I was ten
love the music in this game, for me this was the first rally game and since that i always associate this kind of music with rally, i think wrc 2 or 3 has something similar in ost
that is so strange that dice is credited in nfshp, when the later ones are using the forstbite engines
