Test Your Driving Skills with the RalliSport Challenge Trial Version

Racing fans can now get a taste of one of the year's most intense Rally PC games as Microsoft Game Studios today announced the availability of the RalliSport Challenge trial version. The trial version (221 MB) can be downloaded from the official RalliSport Challenge site at http://www.rallisportchallenge.com,  and features two drivable Pro class cars, four tracks and two game modes. The Safari SS-1 and Pacific SS-1 tracks are playable in Time Attack mode, while drivers can test their skills against the computer AI on the North Hill Circuit and Lakepoint Ring.

Developed by Digital Illusions CE, RalliSport Challenge provides a unique racing experience that combines four types of Rally competition, Hill Climb, Traditional Rally, Rallycross and Ice Racing, into one game. With 29 fully licensed cars to choose from and 48 tracks to race on, RalliSport Challenge provides gamers with the thrill of racing fast cars on all types of terrain. RalliSport Challenge features advanced graphics, including swaying trees, animated crowds and ultrarealistic particle effects, as cars run through mud, dirt, snow and water. In addition, RalliSport Challenge delivers distinctive audio effects from the actual cars, enabling racers to distinguish the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO V1 from the Peugeot 306. The PC version will support network play for up to four competitors.
