A fantastic and gorgeous “arcade style” rally racing game...that has finally bypassed GT3 in terms of visuals...The best racing game of the year, arcade or otherwise.

There's a story for this. In 2001, there was a 4-year-old boy who played Rallisport Challenge on the original XBox with his father. They had a ton of fun playing it together. Unfortunately, after some time, the boy's father passed away. Years later, the same child, who is now a teenager, took his XBox out of storage to play and relive some childhood memories. He put in Rallisport Challenge and found an old save file. This file had a ghost car in it. A ghost car is when you have the fastest time in a race. Next time you play that track, you race side-by-side with it trying to beat its time. This particular ghost car belonged to the father of this boy. In a way, he got to play this childhood game with his father all over again. - Donovan McDonough, reviewer, video game enthusiast

Easily my favorite rally game. It's great to play on your own, but it really shines when you play it in multiplayer. Those over the top crashes and great selection of courses will keep you laughing for hours! Oh yeah, and the graphics are amazing too.

The graphics, gameplay and sound all contribute to one of the most beautiful and satisfying gaming experiences ever.

In addition to lots of racing choices, "RalliSport" has impressive force feedback in the game controller.

Hardcore driving fans may argue that this doesn't offer enough options in the way of car upgrades, but you won't find another rally game that's this much fun to play.

The only downer to this solid racer is the cumbersome controls.

The game doesn't overwhelm players with options, and the modes of play are relatively straightforward. What RalliSport does best is provide gamers with a thrill of speed and a style of control that demands their full attention.

Xbox's early game still, I suppose...? Drifty, speedy, slidy, and almost no difference between the presented cars. It's not how you make a good rally game, dear Dice. There's is some issues with it, including: crazy difficulty in "normal" mode, beginner is bearable; cars handle like Forza 1,2 which was bad and almost identical, but you can actually feel here different types of road and grip, tho you couldn't turn without drift whatsoever... so it should be named Initial D: Rallidrift Challenge, tho AI opponents can handle turns alright. I almost beat it, but I don't feel like finish it, cos I've had enough. I suffered through "normal" difficulty at first which is insane, but also tried "beginner", where you can actually beat solo, timed point to point races, but races with opponents become too easy. The game is kinda fun, but it's not very well done, it's more like a tech demo of a racing engine. There's also custom soundtracks support (super eurobeat recommended) and a killer car is a Nissan with 150hp if I recall that right. I'll give it 65. We'll see if you did it right in your second attempt, Rallisport 2.
