it kinda sucks, but it was one of the first gamecube games i ever got, so i have a bit of a soft spot for it
After playing Pro Rally I was still hungry for more Rallying.
So I’ve been playing Rally Championship (Warthog developed GameCube game) in 480p using Wii+Nintendont.
I bought this game back in the day, but didn’t get on with it at the time as it was too straight.
But today, it’s really very good. I had no idea it was the prequel to much-lauded Richard Burns Rally.
Absolutely beautiful to look at, especially compared to the low poly PS2 port of competitor Pro Rally. Real true variation in theme and courses that seem to have been created as whole huge maps. Weather that changes mid-stage. Activity in the environment. Great physics. Long-ish draw distance. 60fps.
It’s 100% more simulation than Pro Rally was. To that end, it’s not as fun immediately. No driving school equivalent, so you’re stuck with low end cars whilst you earn some money to buy better cars that go faster and handle better and are much more fun.
The menu system is not great, making it unclear how to proceed or unlock various locked stages. Audio defaults are just plain wrong and the controller sensitivity default I would argue is suboptimal. Time spent correcting these is well spent.
Difficulty curve is too steep early on and too easy later on with Pro cars.
