gonna sound a bit negative here but what the hell
DONT buy rallisport, its utter 'BROWN STUFF'... il explain,
graphics r vry nice which keeps a hold on yer 4 awhile
but the more u play it the more u realise how shallow
the gameplay is, the steering on the cars is ok but not
perfect, and when u unlock the later cars it becomes
pathetic and as 4 the courses... too small and too
annoying, id go so far and say its more luck than
judgement at getting round the courses perfectly...
if u want a decent racing game that will keep u entertained
and requires skill rather than luck get yerself moto gp :)
graphics arnt flashy but do the job right, theres a good
sense of speed, especially when the blur effect kicks in.
the handling is perfect, and if u manage to get into the top 5
on champion it dont arf put a smile on yer face, the cpu
drivers r great 2, should of seen the roadrage i done when
the cpu braked slightly on me to get a nudge off me for extra speed
and id imagine the 2 player mode will b great, as u might of
guessed i ant played the fullgame...yet... i came to all
these conclusions by playing the demo on OXM...
...4 ppl who cant b arsed to read my rant...
...this is all u need 2 know...
...moto gp will keep u entertained MUCH longer than
rallisport will... im trading in rallisport towards
moto gp's price lol :)...
1 more praise for good measure... I DONT EVEN ENJOY MOTOSPORT ON TV!
THERE U HAVE IT...

If I had Halo I would, but I am still waiting for lazy Microsoft to deliver Halo and RalliSport to me! Thanks though.

Graphics: 9/10 Very good, check your Halo demos if you don't believe me. Not really shown to full effect in the OXM demo as the course they give you arnt the best at showin off the graphics.
Sound: Great if you have your own music which you like, lame if you don't.
Gameplay: Good slightly arcady rallying fun. Plenty of spectacular crashes if you slip up.
Lastability: The game is tough on later levels, will take you a while if you stay away from easy mode.
Playability: Very good, great with friends round. Fun.
Overall: 8.5/10.

I love it but the races are a bit too hard on later levels. The challange is there is you feel you're up for it. I still play single race mode all the time, for fun.

Hope that helps, but remember thats just my opinion.

For me, Deadly Skies, Crash and F12002 all seem average kind of games [judging by the demos].
Personally I wouldn't buy them.
Rallisport Challenge has addictive handling and is fast.
Moto GP is excellent, but the sport doesn't really appeal to me.

I've got Halo so I've no need to play the demo of it.

Does anyone else think the Deadly Skies demo is good because I really enjoy it.

The "Bounty Hunter" footage on this month's demo disc reminds me of Halo.
Although if the whole game is set within space station interiors it might get a bit visually repetitive.
What makes Halo so great is the mixture of interior and naturalistic locations.

That would be great, if you wouldn't mind. Or if you didn't mind you could email it to me if you have a scanner, I have searched all over for a Dead Or Alive 3 website but there isn't a good one anywhere. Do you know one off hand? Thanks.

And its in the European version. The extra costumes that are onthe booster disc are for the Americans as they havent got these costumes in there game. We have all the extra costumes already in the game, you just need to unlock them by beating Time Attack and survial. Go to some of the Dead Or Alive 3 websites to find out how to unlock all the extra costumes for the characters.
