Replicating speed is a difficult thing to do on a computer game. Rally Championship Xtreme (RCX) manages to do it very well. It also manages to present some of the most interesting environments and racing conditions I’ve come across in recent memory
You’ll race through the Scottish country side, through loading docks, and across desert sand – your car responding realistically to the various bumps and crags in the “road” and whatever modifications you’ve made to the car settings (like gear ratio, ride height, etc.). The graphics are fantastic – great sprays of gravel, realistic body damage, interesting tracks, and other environmental highlights like hang gliders and wind generators going about their work. At times you’ll get caught up in the action and could swear you’re watching the event on TV. RCX is one cool game!
