Gaming News - November 2002
Redmond, WA (November 7, 2002) - Microsoft Game Studios today
announced that RalliSport Challenge for the PC is hitting retail shelves. The PC
version goes into overdrive with new features including Internet multiplayer
capability, improved graphics due to higher PC screen resolution, and realistic
driving action available with a force-feedback wheel.
Microsoft’s first title to be brought from Xbox to PC, “RalliSport Challenge”
was developed by Digital Illusions CE, the same developer that created the
critically acclaimed title for Xbox.
“Microsoft is thrilled to bring the excitement and beauty of ‘RalliSport
Challenge’ to PC users,” said Chuck Frizelle, product manager for “RalliSport
Challenge” at Microsoft Corp. “The spectacular graphics really add to the
adrenaline rush of this white-knuckle off-road racing game.”
From Microsoft:
“RalliSport Challenge” incorporates four types of Rally competition into one
game: Hill Climb, Rallycross, Ice Racing and Traditional Rally. With 48 tracks
from which to choose, gamers can compete in safari challenges in East Africa, on
frozen Nordic roads or on the treacherous hills of the Pacific Northwest,
attempting to conquer four classes of racing: Pro, Expert, Classic and
Unlimited.
Featuring 29 Rally vehicles from manufacturers such as Audi, Citroën, Lancia,
Ford Motor Co., Subaru and Mitsubishi, as well as “unlimited” vehicles including
a modified 850-horsepower Toyota Tacoma and a modified 900-plus-horsepower
Suzuki Grand Vitara, “RalliSport Challenge” will put players’ driving skills to
the ultimate test.
"RalliSport Challenge” takes advantage of the latest processor and video card
technology, resulting in stunning graphics and photorealistic detail. Players
are rewarded with a beautiful and highly detailed racing experience including
swaying trees, animated crowds, animals avoiding the car’s path and realistic
particle effects as players race through mud, dirt, snow and water. More
