NFS V-Rally 2

V-Rally 2 is the sequel to V-Rally, a game that received mixed reviews when it came out on PlayStation a few years ago. The problem with the original V-Rally was the erratic handling - simply clipping a piece of scenery would cause your car to spin out of control. While practise made avoiding these collisions easier, few people bothered, and V-Rally was soon bettered by the likes of Colin McRae. So what about it's sequel?

Well, for starters, it is graphically awesome. The cars themselves are modelled in high resolution, and come complete with see-through windscreens and personalised number plates. In replay mode, you can even see the drivers moving about within the car. Depending on the mode you are in, your car can be affected by damage. This looks extremely realistic, far better than Colin McRae's damage system. The course graphics are well detailed, and the serious pop-up of the original game has now virtually disappeared. However, the graphics for the courses are quite low-resolution, giving them a "gritty" sort of look. While the graphics here are nowhere near as good as those for McRae or Gran Turismo, they are by no means bad, and still look very realistic. Looks-wise, then, V-Rally is a winner.

    This is one of the most addictive racing games I've played to date. It will keep drawing you back for 'just one more race' until you realise it's 3am and you should go to bed. The graphics for a PS1 game are brilliant... Read Full Review
