[Verwijderd]

Schrijf hier je eigen review neer van deze 2 rally games op de PS2.
Zo kan ieder voor zich oordelen welke hij/zij het best koopt.

Dank bij voorbaat.

Hieronder mijn review (is wel Engels). Ik vind WRCII dus echt vet veel beter dan CMR3.

------------------------
After feeling very disapointede due to the fact that the game was already being sold in Sweden as of last weekend, I am now very happy. Finally my gameshop got their 50 pieces of WRC2. The sales girl in the shop must remember me I called the shop allmost every day last week. But the waiting was all worth it. O baby YES.

I played the demo for 4 days now. There are some things in de demo that I did not quite like. - - First up is the annoying in car camera movements. Totally mega wrong. In the final version: GONE :-)
- Secondly there was this strange thing in the physics. I seemed like the car was moving around a axis that is too high above the circuit. I made the car feel too light. In the final version: GONE :-)

So that’s good for starters.

Graphics:
compared to other games WRC2 has the most stunning visuals ever seen a game. The scenery in the stages is never the same. Evolution has really done a great job with the textures. But not only the scenery, also the cars looks the like. Each car has mucho polys in thme. O aaahhhh wait a minute……………… I am looking right now at a replay of me in my Suby in a Monaco stage: no less then 8 hair pins in succesion. What a feast for the eyes. The framerate constantly high. Also in splitsceen mode. Unfortionately WRC2 does not have the very nice rain droplets on the windscreen as in CMR3 (but this is the only thing at which cmr3 is better).

Sound:
Each car has it’s own distinctive sound. Also the sound in the car differs from the one’s outside the car. Now I know the following is not of interest for everyone. The game has a kick ass sound track from the Chemical Brothers. In the menu’s and during replays you can pump up the volume and enjoy great dance tunes. During racing you don’t get the music as it should be. The co drivers notes are spot on. You can adjust the sound levels individually.

Physics:
When I first got CMR3 I thought the game has very good physics for a game. As some of you might also have noticed: the cars in cmr3 act if they’re slot cars. The cars seems to be turning around the middle. This behaviour is not present in WRC2. It features a total other physics model than the original WRC game. The old one was very touchy in the steering. The cars felt way too light. The demo of WRC2 had this also IMHO. But the final game has very realistic physics as far as I can judge that. Weather you drive on snow, gravel or asphalt: you always feel the road beneath you.

Other features:
You can compete with others on via the challenge mode. In this you must set a time on certain stages submit the code you get from the game to a website. You can win a real Ford Focus <why Ford did this completely baffels me. I thought they had a rather exclusive license with Codemasters.>

Should you get it?
YES if you like good driving games. To get my drift: I consider GP4 and GT3 (als the tokyo geneva version) the best driving games at this moment. Some games just excel in everything. WRC is certainly one of them. I allways thought that if you’d own a PS2 without a copy of GT3, you did not really have a PS2. I must know add WRC2 to that list.

Note:
The MOMO works with the game.

Waarom moet je nou weer een eigen review schrijven Je kan toch ook vertellen waarom je de één beter vindt dan de ander. Volgens mij moet je gewoon snel een review hebben voor iets

Tuurlijk mag dat ook.

Begin eerst maar eens met je eigen review. We willen niet dat je "huiswerk" via het forum gaat doen en je eigen review maken en posten is dan wel een mooie controle
