Real-time damage appears in the form of broken taillights, smashed windows, and dents as players negotiate a number of hairpin turns and hills on their way to the finish line. The first is a traditional rally event where players race the clock in an attempt to place within the three top times; the second is a race to the finish against three other opponents.
Ice Racing is similar to RallyCross but takes place on ice, while Hill Climb requires players to reach the top of a treacherous slope in the shortest time possible. Using the cars and courses unlocked in Career, up to four players can engage in split-screen competition in Multiplayer mode. When first released for the Xbox, RalliSport Challenge was the very definition of 'sleeper hit. In its translation to the PC, nearly everything that made the original so good has been kept intact, and some things like the PC's higher resolutions actually improve on the game's visuals.
In fact, it's arguable that the PC version may be better than its console brethren, with only a few missteps keeping it from greatness.
The first thing most will notice is the game's extremely pretty graphics. Everything is how it should be, with realistic backgrounds, types of driving surfaces dirt, ice, pavement, etc. At resolutions over the standard console output around x depending on the game , RalliSport Challenge is one of the more stunning games available. Once you're past the flashy graphics, there's a very good game tucked in as well. RalliSport Challenge is a driving game in the style of rally racing, which is perhaps the most popular form of racing in Europe.
Instead of oval tracks or F1 cars, players compete over real-world terrain with all the real-world hazards as well. There are trees lining many tracks, and houses, rocks, fences and cheering fans are found everywhere.
Scarier is the fact that many of the courses take place along mountain sides, and it's all too possible to go careening over the edge. Since most of the game styles are 'point-A-to-point-B' races, rather than tracks that you 'lap' around, you're not always aware of what's around the next corner or over the next crest. Thankfully, there's a passenger in your car and he's got a map. As you drive, he tells you all the important things you need to know such as 'careful, bumps' and 'hard right, narrows into bridge Additionally, there are symbols that correlate to what your passenger is saying, so if you miss what he said, there's still visual representation informing you of upcoming hazards.
The main portion of the game takes place in career mode, where you are taken from novice to expert levels on over 40 tracks. The cars are all licensed, and in true console style, harder tracks and better cars are unlocked after successfully completing increasingly difficult races.
