Considering SCi bought the Rally Championship franchise - you know it's gonna be better. Though they did already release one rally game that sucked balls - but I think that was just a thing to get the franchise going.

Oh, and I'm actualy looking forward to the new Carmageddon they've got slated for 2005.

"Realistic spectators, who cheer as you speed past, sometimes stray onto the track"

I think they could have made a game purely out of that.

They did, it was called Carmageddon.

Xpand Rally is definitely less of a simulation than RBR. Just watching any videos from RBR will show you how incredible it really is:

(Chirdonhead is particularly nice)

http://www.bhmotorsports.com/preview/RBR is a nice short preview of the physics.

If the day has finally come when you have to explain how "Dick Burns" relates to penicillin in a humorous fashion then the internet is already dead.


My comedy quota for the day is made. Thanks!

If you check out the review in the Morning Preview section below, you'll see that it does indeed have a "helmet cam"...

I assume it has an incar view then? Third person driving games blow.

Strango, you may not know this, but look if you look in the mirror, and you'd see that your Dick Burns.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about someone else. I'm just a youngster and wasn't aware of the other "Dick Burns".

I apologize, I thought you were making fun of Richard. But no need to start name calling, it was a misunderstanding.

I wasn't aware anyone I refered to there had cancer but then I also wasn't aware that penicillin was used to treat cancer either, so what do I know. Thanks Dr. Strango! You humorless twerp.
