Rally Cross 2
About the Game
The sequel to the chaotic off-road rally racing game, Rally Cross . The lead programmer, Mark Lyons , and the lead artist, Scott Atkins , from Rally Cross had left Sony and formed a new company, Idol Minds . Rally Cross 2 was one of the first two games developed by Idol Minds. It was an attempt to build on the original, while creating a game with a simpler learning curve.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Rally Cross 2 retains the rough terrain of the original, with even more jumps and crashes. Multi-tap and 4 player split screen were not included in the sequel, but 2 player split screen remained. The ability to control attributes such as suspension, tires, and steering was added, as well as the ability to paint your car with a primary and detail color that can be picked from a large palette. Once again the courses can be raced forwards or backwards, and in suicide mode (cars racing in opposite directions at the same time).
Standout Features
- There are a dozen or so different pieces that can be rotated and dropped into a 2D grid to create completely new tracks.
Modes & Ways to Play
The multi-race season mode still exists.
Player support includes 1-2 Players.
