Sega Rally Championship (PS2 Gameplay)

Sega Rally Championship (PS2) - Car: 1995 Toyota Celica GT4 - Game: Championship

Sega Rally Championship is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by AM5 for the Sega Model 2 board. The player can enter a "World Championship" mode consisting of three stages: Desert (which resembles African savanna), Forest (which resembles South American forests) and Mountain (which partly resembles Monaco and Corsica), where their finishing position at the end of one course is carried through to the starting position of the next course.
Eleven years after Sega Rally gave arcade racing fans white knuckles and heart palpitations, the game returns on the PS2 in a near perfect conversion. Choose from Championship or Practice upon starting the game. Four cars are available - 2 Automatic Transmission vehicles and 2 Manual Transmission cars. The tracks include Desert, Forest, and Mountain.
Despite its age, Sega Rally Championship is an enjoyable racing game with solid control and focus-inducing game play. The action is demanding and challenging, as one would expect from a coin-op conversion which is designed to gobble up quarters. The time limits give little leeway for mistakes and poor handling/cornering, so one must be at the top of one's game to conquer the tracks. The illusion of speed in the game is also so much above and beyond what other modern racing games have attempted to accomplish.
