Olles proovinud nii MP kui SP demo, siis võib öelda, et SP demo on asjalikum. Toon näited: rajaääri tähistavad lindid saab SP-s maha sõita MP-s mitte. Samuti on rajaäärde lisatud inimesi (kes mõnikord teepealt eest ära kargavad) ning loomi.
Graafika minu arvates on colinist küll parem (RBR pole õnnestunud mängida, sest demo pole ja raha ka hetkel mitte, et osta ("vanaema" versioone põhimõtteliselt ei poolda)). Füüsikat ei oska RBR-ga võrrelda.

Tuleb tõdeda, et klaviatuuriga seda mängu on suhteliselt raske ja mõttetu mängida.


Huvitav oleks kuulata RBR-i mänginud meeste muljeid SP demoga võrreldes

mp demos saab linte maha sõita füüsika on auto deformeerumisel ja auto raskusel parem xpandis, aga RBR'is jälle see parem et kui realisticuga sõita mingi 50'ga puule otsa siis edasi ei liigu enam.

seal saab seadetest panna kas lindid lähevad katki või mitte

[project]

lindid jäävad vast selleks et kui kellegagi koos pelad siis kui sa lindid maha sõidaksid siis teine ei näeks kus pool rada on

See multiplayer demo ikka eriti kõva , küll ei saanud netis panna , kuid see eest oli nagu juhitavus jälle paemaks tehtud, auto käitumine ikka eriti kõva + deformeerumine ja muud jutud juurde!

See just hea, et nagu mingeid "hard" piire pole radadel, ise tead enamvähem kuidas lõikad!

[Vananematu]

1 problemo on!

Xpand demot pandes hakkab mang taiega klippima kuid Trsuti ff380 FF rool taga on ja vibra sisse lülitatud mangus! Kui vibra mangust maha votan jookseb mangu normilt!

Teistes mangudes on asi korras, keegi oskab nõu anda, uuemaid drivereid ka põle sellele roolile olemas!

ilmselt mänguviga

Kopi pasta, muide kas ASI ON VALMIS VÕI? ila tilgub nii mis vähe pole
Vaadake karpi :S tahan orikat

You've to take care of your driver. Crashes hurts him and this affects how fast he can drive; e.g. if you hurts his head serious, he can't see clearly anymore

The first races are easy, but after a while you need to upgrade your car to have at least a chance to win a race

If you done a serious fault or simply have to stop, you can do every race once again

If you see that you've no chance with your current setup you can quit the race, setup up your car or buy parts and start the race once again

Tuning parts do change your driveability noticeable

You can do test drives and are free to trash your car in every way you like, this doesn't affect you current championship where you've to repair your car if you trash it

Finally one of my most anticipated racing games for this year was out - xpand rally, that one beside NFS: Underground 2 which I was looking forward most excited.

And here's what you get:



The game comes with two discs, a manual, a very nice box and an endless number of registering keys *sigh*. And an editor is right on board giving you the possibility to create your own tracks, modify the cars and many more.

Test system:

Pentium 4 3.0 MHZ HT with 1024 MB 400 MHZ memory, a Gainward 2400 Ultra and an Audigy 2 ZS. The game was set to high quality sound and to maxium video settings.

General

The menus are well arranged and you find all settings you need easily. All the menus are looking well and are partly animated and can be controlled via keyboard or mouse. There're two modes you can setup a profile: Arcade and simulation. I started the first game in simulation mode.



If you start a championship you have to buy a car first, surely you haven't money for the best one but even the first cars are looking very nice and are much fun to drive. So I choose this one:



After winning the first race I decided to check out the quick race function and had a nice ride with this car:




Control

Comparing to the demo the final version they did a good job. The control is now similar to Colin and should be much easy for everyone who has at least played a racing game once. For now I only tested a gamepad, but this worked much better than expected.

Back to the championship mode I did the next race, but beforehand I did a new paint job to my car with the money I earned by winning the last race.



For I checked out the option you're able to do here and there, but there seem to be a high number of possibility what to buy and how to repair and setup your car. All is like it has to be, easy to find and doable by only some clicks.

Sound

For the sound it's the same like with the demo, only difference is that you can set sound to high quality now, which offer you good quality sounds and music. Only little minus is that there's now music during the race, as well as that you can't add your own music, but I guess this is only a wish for a rally game and furthermore I never have seen this before. So it's more a dream of me *LOL* .

Graphics

Where should I start. To make it short, this game is DOOM 3 for racing games. I never saw such a grade of detail on a racing game before. Especially after I did the first race in the dark I was so impressed that I lost the race because I watched the surroundings all the time. Ok so lets go into detail:

• I never saw before such detailed cars until now provided by an game
  
• The damage model is uncomparable, that's what I call real damage
  
• Lighting is as impressive as in DOOM 3
  
• All textures are very detailed
  
• Surroundings are well animated; e.g. I never saw such well animated grass
  
• The sky looks great and even more great is that you see perfect shadows of the clouds moving on the ground - simply amazing
  
• I stop now, you have to see it yourself to believe it

Here're some tga screenshots to prove, but be warned around 2 MB each (all are zipped, tga size is 4 MB each):




Fun Factor

I've played three races so far and can't tell really about the whole game. But until now this game impressed me a lot and fulfilled all my expections. If you're think about bying a rally racing game with perfect graphics and good modding capabilities then you should give xpand rally a try. For my side I already love this game 8) .



Conclusion

Overall first impression score 95%

Plus
Great graphics
High fun factor
Modding capabilities

Minus
Annoying bunch of copy protection keys and installation of copy protection drivers (starforce 3)

a paistab, et radu on nati laiemaks tehtud

mnjaa... seda infot lugedes jään mulje, et päris kobe mäng on fullis ei tundugi väga arcade olevat

[DigeBeni]

... kummaline rallimängu arvustus, kus kirjeldatakse kõike muud, aga mitte juhitavust, mis peaks ju sellise mängu juures peamine argument olema. See, et asi tundub nagu Colin, võib tähendada ju kõike ja samas ka mitte midagi, aga eks loodame parimat, vaheldust on vaja ...

Control

Juhitavuse võrdlus CMR-iga ütleb et tegu on puhta arcadega.

[Vananematu]

see colini sõna seal lauses ei jäta just neutraalseks! ta oleks võinud selle mainimata jätta, kuid samas demo juhitavus oli küll hea ning kõike muud kui colin!

[HDTanel]

Nih homme vast Xpand Rally olemas

[RooZu]

Demo oli küll lihtsalt liiga hea
Tuleb vist kiiremas korras endale Full muretseda
