RBR is certainly one of top 3 rally games there is. Unfortunately, I don't play it because I feel its a bit hard on my 5 year old MSFFB wheel but I plan to seriously get into it when I get my new wheel soon. RBR has a really good realistic feel. The graphics are quite good as well. The time I played it, I never had a proper go of any of the other cars (except the 22b STi, LOVED THAT 1!
and WRX). Like Vain said, its a pain in the ass when you drive at a stage as if you're racing a track because you know all the corners coming up but that kind of thing is inevitable in all rally games these days. There was one game though, Rally Championship 2000 which had 20 minute stages
and I wish I could get it again but I don't know where to find it
. Everyone knows the CMR series and I suppose RBR has become the benchmark for modern day rallying sims. Rally Trophy is also a really good rally game. Thing I love about RT is that some people think they have good control over the car and are doing really well because they're smashing the Expert AI but trust me, in RT, there is a limit waay beyond that
. I was always quite good in RT, I even had a WR for Finland Stage 1
in the Stratos but never posted it
. When you really get to the limit in RT, you then start doing some super funky slides
. A shame though about RT is that most of the cars in the game aren't that hard to drive, its only really the Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Renault Alpine and the Escort, the other cars are quite easy to get round to. I've always loved rally games (for an obvious reason... I'M IRISH!!!
) and I look forward to see what new rally games have to offer compared to RT and RBR. I wonder if Codemasters will change their ways with CMR: Dirt
