RalliSport Challenge is a 2002 video game of rallying for the Microsoft Windows and the Xbox. It allows a career with up to 25 cars including the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6 and the Suzuki Grand Vitara.

[edit] Gameplay

For Rally, drivers race point to point from simply point A to B. In career mode, drivers will race one by one while in single race, drivers will race with the computer. That is applied to the rest of the races except for Ice Racing and Rallycross.

In Hillclimb, drivers will race up or speed down a dangerous mountain with cliffs and rocks along the track. One mistake can send drivers off the cliff or into rocks thus damaging the car and degrading performance. For Ice Racing, drivers race on a track with a slick bed of ice for a certain amount of laps. The run off areas are sometimes snow that can cost vital places or time.

On Rallycross, drivers will race around a certain track with multiple types of road such as gravel and asphault.

Drivers will start with eight cars no matter if what the starting level of Beginner or Normal is used. They will require doing a career to unlock the remaining 17 cars. In Beginner mode, drivers are able to restart a race at any point in a rally they wish. However in Normal, in order to restart, drivers must race the entire rally over no matter what.
