4.0 out of 5 stars A vast improvment over the first., April 12, 2003

This review is from: Dakar 2: The World's Ultimate Rally (Video Game)

Back in December 2001, Acclaim released Paris-Dakr Rally, which was terrible. But now, a sequel has arrived on Gamecube, and it is much better.

The Gamecube lacks a definitve rallying game, and Dakar II fits the bill. The cars and motorcycles control well, and the game looks nice. The game is long, and there are enough tracks to make it worthwile.

As it stands, Dakar II is the best rally game on Gamecube. Rally Fusion, Colin McRae 3, V Rally 3, and Rally Championship are probably not coming out on Gamecube, but this will more than do. It is way ahead of Ubi Soft's Pro Rally 2002.

If you want a rally game, this is the best one available, with the possible exception of Rallisport Challenge (PC, XBOX). If all you want is a racing game, though, you might be better off with Burnout 2.

This is the best rally game game I've ever played! There are so many cars, HUGE trucks and motorcycles to choose from. And twelve awesome tracks to tear up!

The awesome
~Lots of vehicles
~Very good single player
~Replays
~Multiplayer

The bad
~Vehicles get damaged to quickly
~Too short
~Needs more action
~Needs upgrades to cars

Not the best game in the world. Anyway it's very good. Rank B.
