Top Gear Rally 2

''Top Gear Rally 2'' is a racing video game developed by Saffire and released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. It is a sequel to '' Top Gear Rally''.

Gameplay

''Top Gear Rally 2'' is a racing game where players drive rally cars through a series of tracks. The game features a random and dynamic weather system.

Development

Unlike the original '' Top Gear Rally'', which was developed by Boss Game Studios, ''Top Gear Rally 2'' was developed by Saffire. The company conceived ''Top Gear Rally 2'' as a more realistic game than its predecessor, with more simulation-like elements such as real-time car damage and weather effects. The physics engine was completely rewritten. All the vehicles in the game are licensed versions of real rally cars such as the Ford Focus and the Renault Alpine. During the final stages of the development cycle, developers had to work between 16 and 18 hours a day to complete the game. The game supports the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak, which allows the game to be played at a resolution of 480x480 pixels.

Reception

''Top Gear Rally 2'' received "average" reviews, according to the Review aggregator, review aggregation website GameRankings. Mike Wolf of ''Next Generation (magazine), Next Generation'' praised the selection of 15 cars to choose from, realistic weather conditions, car handling, a paint shop for customization, shortcuts to find and exploit, and multiplayer support for four players. ''N64 Magazine'' considered it the best rally game for the Nintendo 64, but not as rewarding as ''World Driver Championship''.
