Acclaim Dakar 2 X Box Racing Review

Acclaim Dakar 2


Description
This most gruelling of races stands alone in the rallying world as the toughest race of it's kind. Certainly not for the faint hearted, it draws upon the skills, strength, metal agility and sheer determination that is only found in the most unique of characters. Following from the European success of Paris-Dakar 1, Dakar 2 takes the official license to the next level in this all out arcade version of the most radical endurance rally in the world. Dakar 2 takes the brand into new territory and redefines what really makes a rally game tick!

Review NaN of 3

Price Paid:  $4.00 from Rented at Blockbuste

Summary:
I am a huge fan of the Dakar Rally and I knew that no game could compare to the real thing, but this is by far the poorest excuse for a rally game I have ever seen. The physics are absolutely horrible. Brakes are entirely unnecissary, you can just whip around the whole track like it was nothing. The graphics are very nice, but they are nothing without good gameplay to back it up. Don't waste your money on this if you want a serious rally game. If you want a cheap arcade game that you can beat in 2 hours then this is the game for you. After this game I have lost all hope in Acclaim making a decent game.

, from Ohio

Price Paid:  $30.00 from Gamestop

Summary:
Very nice game for the Xbox. Dakar 2 is much better than the original PS2 version which was somewhat disappointing. Although not a real racing simulator it is still much fun to play & you get to run the actual Dakar Rally. Also unlike the PS2 version this game actually starts in France(Like the actual rally).

Summary:
This game was a pleasent suprise. I thought that it was going to really blow, but turns out that Dakar 2 is pretty solid if you like rally racers. Still, this doesn't mean that this game is perfect.
