Two similar XBox reviews in German language: Area XBox (73%): https://www.axbserver.de/axb/artikel.php?id=344 automatic Google translation: https://tinyurl.com/2vf69 Gamers Database (83%): https://www.gbase.ch/index.asp?target=reviews&zone=xb&id=176&page=1 automatic Google translation: https://tinyurl.com/236d7 A little translation from me: "SCi Games is extremely courageous with Richard Burns Rally. Instead of producing yet another arcade rally game they give us a pure simulation. More realism is not possible. It only is regrettable that the simulation aspect is somewhat limiting the gaming fun - now we finally know what happens if video games become too realistic. A must buy for sim-fanatics with a wheel, playable for people who thought of CMR as a simulation before, unplayable for arcade freaks who think RSC2 is realistic." _________________ Kai · https://richardburnsrally.de

Probably the best definition of what the target market for this game will be.

I think that will boost sales rather than hurt - I keep seeing discussions in every forum for every game regarding which is more real - and most do say they wish it was more realistic next time around, as well as expressing a strong wish that "This game here IS the most realistic". Awesome, honest sounding summary there. RSC2 people thinking it is real.. lol. _________________ Rally Forum Moderator Reviewer of Rally Simulators. Mod Maker

I just wonder what percentage of rally game players use the forums and would they more likely be the hardcoreish nut that likes to talk about the game as well as play it. Maybe forums, by their nature, attract us nutters! Shocked

Best thing to boost sales is a PC demo, since alot of players dont want to gamble with their money and dont buy the Ps2/XBox mags. So if they get to try it on their pc then they will know how the game plays. _________________ "Impeach THIS!!" --T.K.o.P-- If you like real WW2 games... https://redorchestramod.gameservers.net/

Just think about the guys who ride rally cars in real life. Think about the guys who ride it in virtual world. Both them are nuts! So do not listen to the reviews. Peaple who will like RBR knows what rallying is all about. People who love RCR2 know that rally is about going fast through the woods and that's it. Ask them somthing more specific about rally and you will not hear any answer! Once again, this game is for people who love rally! Not for the guys who love to go fast through the woods and dirty tracks Relax, this game will be hit!
