Playable demo of the upcoming game Black Bean WRC the Game 2010 is out today for anyone with an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live Gold membership
"Ah, rallying. The pinnacle of all motorsports, the one that, above all others, tests the driver's skill more than it tests the machine, challenging his navigational skills, his endurance, his improvisational skills, and of course, his pure driving mettle.
It's essentially the most challenging form of motorsport, which is why it's kind of surprising how it has not yet been adapted into a proper video games, especially since racing video games of all forms are dime a dozen, and since the format lends itself particularly well to video games in general."
WRC 2 lives and breathes for old school rallying. Traditional A-B stages dominate, with a few Super Special Stage duels thrown in for good measure. All the big names like Sebastien Loeb, Petter Solberg and Mikko Hirvonen are here along with their official WRC rides. The lower rally leagues and the infamous Group B cars are also present. You can race individual rallies with the stars straight away, or embark on the lengthy career mode, The Road to the WRC.
Rally games like DiRT 3 are all well and good, but what do you have to do if you want to experience life like on the real World Rally Championship with long brutal stages and more than eight stages to an event. Stopping off at WRC, DiRT 1 and Colin McRae 05, is there still a real rally game out there? Chris Evans thinks so.
I am with the writer 100%. Network Q rally from 1996 had the proper rally feel. I only wish someone would take that game and only update the graphics, sound and current stage setups. I find all the new rally games rather casual-gamer. In Network Q, there was rain, lightening, varying surfuces and grip, cars accumilated dirt pretty much forever till you ended the stage, damage etc. It was the real deal!
Sweet.. I'll download it later. :P
Cool, i'll get on it when i get home from work
