Xpand Rally Xtreme

Well, in this one the driving felt more "controllable" (for me) from the first game. The car was kinda smoothish with it's movements. Stages were pretty mid, overall I'd say that this title is 40% better than the first one.

7,5/10

Car handles like wet excrement.

I am used to high quality rally games like Dirt and this feels like an early 2000's student project.

Dirt 4.0 and Dirt 5.0: Supposedly "arcade" games but physics are miles ahead of this in terms of realism.
Dirt Rally 2.0: Supposedly "simulation" but physics are too twitchy. Even so, its less twitchy than these physics.

On certain corners this car totally fishtails out of control, but even on "simulation mode" it doesn't even act realistic.
The game runs at a solid 75 fps, yet somehow it looks 'laggy' like on certain turns, the car is stuttering around like some kind of ancient MD2 animation.

Menu music is brutal and sounds like Unreal Tournament, but when the game starts there is no music. XTREME-ly lame.

I am recommending this game because it is 50 cents but I would pay no more for this game.

Solid alternative to the now unavailable Codemasters classics.

2025 review!!!!!!
















@ss

definitely one of my favorite rally arcade type games

Great classic rally game! Would recommend!

One of the best rally games for the price, honestly. Got this game for $1.50 and it's well worth it. controller and steering wheel fully work, and with a bit of research i found out how to upscale the game into any resolution i want, with working widescreen. Sadly the online is dead so you can only really play online with your friends. In summary I would really recommend this game to anyone into racing games or retro games in general

Good

its relly good with friends

xpand dong (but different)

There is more car variety but "for some reason" less environment variety than the first game. There's some new and old environments reused from the first, unfortunately this game could've done with reusing more. A majority of the tires in this game go semi-unused due to a lack of stages that give you an opportunity to use them in the first place, namely the Snow & Ice ones. And another "for some reason" is that the cars that are new are also optional/post-game content, so the thing that sets this apart from the original is something you have to go out of your way for.

It's probably modded more often than the original game, but I wouldn't know that right now. As far as a vanilla experience, the first game is way better overall, but I wouldn't consider this a waste of time either.

its okay but has a weird losing grip thing going on , when you steer opposite during speed
