Amazon.co.uk Review
Rallisport Challenge 2 picks up from where Microsoft's original rally driving sim left off: it's an improvement on its predecessor in every sense. The key to this game's success lies in its diversity. Few racing titles offer as broad a selection of gameplay styles, and even fewer carry them off with such aplomb. Here, straight rally driving lines up alongside rally cross, circuit racing, hill climbing and even ice racing. Each discipline is unique in its style and feel. All of which serve to provide the player with a huge range of modes to play through--longevity is not an issue.

Rallisport Challenge 2 is one of the most comprehensive multi-player Xbox titles. Four payers can race on one system; with more consoles and monitors, up to 16 players can engage in link-up races; and furthermore, the game is designed for multi-player competition on Microsoft's Xbox Live network. This bundle includes the Xbox Live Starter Kit and a three-month subscription to the service. Crucially, this impressive set of options is built on a solid foundation: cars handle perfectly as they speed through gorgeous environments. With real cars, and tracks set in every corner of the globe, Rallisport Challenge 2 is quite a treat for petrolheads. --Jonti Davies

Customer Reviews

W00T!!
Arguably the best bargain going on XBox, despite not appearing too appealing at a first glance let me just say that 13 quid is worth RalliSport 2 on its own, let alone with XBox live!!

Nice graphics and fantastic gameplay make it hard to put down and the learning curve is spot on.
Simply put Colin McRea fails to hold a candle to it in any sort of comparison.

The only 2 not so good points I can find about the package are.

1. It's 3 months, not 12 subscription to XBox live, boo hoo no real big.

2. The major one, I hate you Microsoft!! The package lacks arguably one of the most important parts, an ethernet cable.
Without one of these you can't use live as that connects XBox to the net!! So if you don't have one you need to pop over to ebay and get one cheap, Amazon doesn't seem to sell them which is quite unusual. Another thing I think Amazon should look into, when you buy any kind of starter pack the "perfect partner" should be one of these net cables with a clear indication you WILL need an ethernet cable.
Thankfully I already knew this after speaking to a friend, but not all do, so I think for customer satisfaction they should perhaps look to do this in future.

Asides from that, spot on; fantastic package and a complete bargain, you'd be stupid not to!!

Just NB that it is only a 3 month subscription to Xbox live.

Really great value!!!
i bought this pack the other week, even though i mainly bought it for the live code and headset the game is actually really good! Theres alot of stuff to mess on with and unlock so hours of fun! id be very suprised if you could get the live kit and code for any significant amount less than this and with this you get a kick ass game.

Verdict BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
