Xpand Rally
Anybody tried this game? In the US it would be an import, but it is
available on Amazon.com. I tried the demo and thought it was good. I like the use of high dynamic range rendering, yet it isn't completely overkill (it is resource intensive, though). The physics seem OK, but I'm not a physics expert (the default FWD car in the demo was very twitchy under acceleration, though). It seems to come closest to my "perfect rally sim" in terms of features, especially the career mode. |

I've nothing useful to say other than I'm interested in finding out if the physics and FF are any different from the demo released way back when. I thought the demo was kinda fun when I tried it (despite the marginal FF), but I found it hard to play once I picked up RBR. Could just be that RBR's default setups are more usable. Whatever it is, RBR is always a blast despite the limited stages. Alan |

Try the newer Cross Rally Championship demo before picking up Xpand. CRC
had HDR also. Gfx aren't as nice as Xpand overall but the car handling and physics are TONS better than Xpand. Tweaking the car setups actually mean something in CRC. Xpand seemed haphazard. Hint: you really have to spend the time to properly setup your controller with the numerous sliders in the options menu. Magnulus wrote: > Anybody tried this game?

Whatever it is, RBR is always a blast > despite the limited stages. For me what interests me most in Xpand Rally is the career mode and the customization of the cars. I want another Need for Speed type game. But I don't want the physics to be totally off, which is why I was a bit put off by the frontwheel drive car in the demo. The FF seems OK. Richard Burns Rally seems like a good enough game but I think the car choices are too limited. The physics and stages seem realistic enough, to me... but that's not really what I want in a game. |
