CONTENTS ================ 1) Introduction 2) Game Modes 3) The Cars (default and extra) in Sega Rally 2 4) Secrets and Suggestions 5) Acknowledgements 6) Future Updates ==================== IV. INTRODUCTION ==================== Sega Rally 2 is the first racing game released for the Sega Dreamcast. The game shows detailed graphics of the cars and the track, it's pretty impressive that little details are thougth off like the explosions in the exhaust or when mud/snow goes to your clean car. But what makes Sega Rally 2 different, like Daytona or Gran Turismo, is the game is based on off road racing or rally racing. Rally racing consist of a team, the driver and navigator, which they follow a race course based on the directions of the navigator. However, the game is different from the real race because the player is against other drivers to become no. 1 wherein in rally racing, each group drives the course by themselves without the other team in the track. For more info on rally racing goto the official web site http://www.worldrally.net =================== V. GAMES MODES =================== 1) Arcade: 'nuff said a) championship mode b) practice mode 2) 10 Year Championship: the player starts off in the 1st year and everytime a year is finished, the next year becomes accessible to play. The player can adjust what tires to use, change the steering or breaking,and even change the voice your co-driver =) 3) Time Attack: to gloat to your buds about your best time. 4) 2 Player Battle: a) 3 or 5 laps b) Time Lag 5) Network Play: This involves registering in the SEGA server. You choose a car and you choose your team. I'm trying it for now to see if it really works. =============== VI. THE CARS =============== Sega Rally 2 features real cars that participated on the World Rally Championship. There are 8 selectable cars in the beginning and 12 extra cars when you finished the arcade (7th or better in easy/normal and 1st in expert) or finished 1st in each year in the "10 year championship". I. Default Cars 1) Ford Escort T WRC 2) Impreza WRC 3) Lancer Evolution V 4) Lancia Strato-S 5) Lancia Delta HF Integrale 6) Peugot 306 Maxi 7) Corolla WRC 8) Celica GT-Four ST 20S II. Extra Cars 1) Arcade: Renault Maxi Megane : future update 2) 1st Year: Impreza 555 3) 2nd Year: Lancer Evolution IV 4) 3rd Year: Lancer Evolution III 5) 4th Year: Celica GT-Four ST185 6) 5th Year: Peugeot 106 MAXI 7) 6th Year: Lancia Delta Integrale 8) 7th Year: Fiat 131 Abarth 9) 8th Year: Peugeot 205 Turbo 10) 9th Year: Renault Alpine 11) 10th Year: Lancia 037 Rally ============================== VII. SECRETS & SUGGESTIONS ============================== 1) When playing the "10 year championship", it is best to check your tires before the race because with the right ones, you can prevent the car from slipping and losing time or gain valuable time in finishing the race. 2) Having trouble finishing the arcade mode?? Try changing the difficulty to easy in the game options =) You will still get the extra car whatever difficulty the arcade is set on. 3) If you DO get the extra car in the arcade mode, use that car in the "10 year champoinship". The Renault Maxi Megane, in my opinion, have the best handling of all the cars available. 4) From H. J. : "Although it is possible to finish first in without changes to your car, it becomes increasingly difficult as years progress...I made adjustments to suspension and gear ratio in the wet desert or muddy tracks ( Change the gear down and loosen suspension according to your driving style and car). 5) From H. J. : "When you finish first after 4 tracks in the 10th year, a super track opens which you have to finish first in to access the bonus car for that year. The super track is a version of recent innovation rally racing where 2 cars are able to approximate racing head to head. (I haven't tried it yet) 6) From Reno: Best car is the Stratos. 7) All Cars Code and All Seasons Code: At http://www.seganet.com/news/021099a.html =========================== VIII.
