Sega Rally 2 is coming to a PC near you very soon, and we've been gearing up for it with a spin round some of its tracks....

It looks like gamers are going to have a veritable showroom of racers to choose from this Christmas.
Indeed. And this smash-hit arcade racer is sure to be high up on a lot of PC race fans' shopping lists.

Indeed?
Certainly. Its top-notch graphics and speed of play, backed up by full force-feedback support and 3D audio, means players will be able to see, feel and almost taste the thrill of pushing the worlds greatest rally cars to their limit.

The world's greatest rally cars? Licences, as well, as dirt have been flying then.
Yes, and all the very latest 1999 WRC data has been used to model each of the key vehicles: the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6, the Subaru Impreza and the Toyota Corolla. There are 18 makes and 22 models in all to race with.

Do they handle well?
They handle very nicely indeed. Nippy but responsive, they all need to be tamed in their own different way, but as long as you're sober they'll go in the direction you point them, and you'll soon be going sideways round all the corners in a very satisfying way.
