Purchased the game, what a waist. Rushed home to play, looked pretty cool. Noticed it was a DVD not CD like some other ps2 games, which means more space, better graphics, and possibly a better game. ONE WORD FOR YOU NOOOOOPE! I wish I would have gone to the winghouse for happy hour instead. ;} At least then I would have had a pleasurable expierence when waisting $..

Stick it in the SAND!

Hi. The game is so much fun! You can try to make it over the
dunes and make it up the hills and not get stuck! If you hit a
jump too hard, you will flip! You might hit a tree or slip down
in a HOLE! Be careful not to get stuck on a ROCK or a tire will
fall off! That is BAD! LOL You will love it if you watch the
real Paris-Dakar Rally on Speed Channel.

This game is so horrible for kids.recently my son fell in a pit of fire and said "women where's the reset button". I had to actually slap him silly for playing the game.

I bought this game because it was an off- road racing game, and ...its a waste of money. I would recommend test drive off road instead of this game, I have both. After playing this game once I probably won't ever play it again. The graphics and game playing are very poor, definately not playstation 2 standards. I gave it 2 stars only because I've played worse games.

I like it alot

I bought this game mainly because I ride a dualsport motorcycle featured in the game and because I am a big fan of the race.I really enjoyed this game,it has cool grafics and great control,but the music sucks,if you can over look that,its pretty nice.

Why Acclaim went bankrupt

I love racing games and thought this would be a great concept for a video game, so I was excited to get this for Christmas. My friend and I sat around playing this for about an hour and we realized all of its downsides (we have yet to notice upsides):
1) No 2-player mode. Huh? This is a staple of every kind of racing game!
2) No attention to sound design. The same &*$! song plays between every stage throughout their abundantly long loading screens. Which brings me to point 3:
3) Abundantly long loading times. (I will never get that song out of my head...)
Most serious of all:
4) The game crashed about 4 stages in (the first time we played). We could tell, because the song, which by this time had become hard-wired into our brains, stuck on one note (while we were stuck on yet another "loading screen"). We re-booted the PS2 and then it crashed again--and sooner!

Briefly, I believe Acclaim must have spent $5 developing this game, and it shows. Don't even waste your money on a used copy (and if someone offers it to you for free, run away).

Greatest rally game ever

If you enjoyed Sega Rally you'll enjoy this game even more. The graphics are as good or even better than Sega Rally and the sound is astonishing. And the replay value is another good thing about this game. This is a game for the whole family to enjoy.
