Hey, do you want to hear something really funny? Dan Cummins Revenge Is Near more. Then pick yourself up a copy of, turn your PC speakers up and listen to the instructions your 'co-driver' screams at you while you belt through the bush in a fast little Mini. Instead of the traditional 'Right, 5, over crest' you hear from rally professionals like Nicky Grist, who sits alongside Colin McRae while racing, you'll here this nut screaming at you to 'This time use your eyes, they'll help, trust me!' And 'Stop using my car to mow the lawn!'

Spiderman 2 The Game Pc. This guy sounds more like a cranky father teaching a 16-year-old learner driver than a rally co-driver! So it becomes obvious early on that this is not just another World Rally Championship game, Rally Trophy is just a little bit different, but that's good.

You'll be driving around on a variety of gorgeous rally routes in the rally cars of yesteryear. So instead of state of the art WRXs, Mitsu Evos and Ford Focuses, you'll be strapped into the Mini Cooper S, Ford Lotus Cortina and Fiat Abarth. Those cars may not be household names in 2002, but back in the golden age of rallying in the 60's and 70's, they were high-tech and exciting to drive, or so our granddad tells us. You even get to drive the Ford Escort and Lancia Stratos, which were two of the greatest dirt bangers of all time and dominated rallying in the 70's. Soundbytes Bagpipes Vsti V1.1-air. Fans of virtual racing will immediately make a connection between Rally Trophy and Grand Prix Legends because both take a lot of time to master. In Grand Prix Legends, the difficulty in mastering the game stems from the the fact that it is hard to control the old GP machines, but in Rally Trophy, the steep learning curve exists because your computer competitors keep setting blistering times. So if you're after a game that you can conquer in an afternoon, look elsewhere.

There are 42 rally stages to complete and unless you're a total champion, you'll need several attempts before you rack up a decent result. But where repeating stages in some driving games becomes tedious (I'm thinking Gran Turismo license here), you won't mind honing your skills while learning the ropes in Rally Trophy.

For a start you've got that mad co-driver and also some excellent cars to drive. The default car is the Mini Cooper S and it's a great way to learn the twists of each route. It's quite forgiving and being front wheel drive you don't tend to get the really long and out of control slides that cars like the Cortina generate. If you play for long enough and are fortunate enough to unlock cars like the Stratos, you'll find them blindingly quick but very fiddly to drive.

However, the car handling is well balanced between being realistic and challenging, as well as actually being fun and rewarding to drive. One area of car handling that has been superbly modeled is the sliding.

Players can induce a slide, even at great speed, and still feel like they've got the situation totally under control. Unlike in some rally games where players feel they need to tip-toe because driving close to the limit results in crashes every third corner, once you've got some skill up in Rally Trophy you gain a real sense of confidence. In other words, you don't have time to pussyfoot around because the opposition is just too good. It's worth noting too that while a good steering wheel is the luxurious way to attack Rally Trophy, the keyboard controls are surprisingly useful as you can actually do quite well using the good old arrow keys.
