RalliSport comes to PC

Microsoft has announced that a PC version of their hit Xbox rally sim RalliSport Challenge will be available this Christmas. Mirroring the Xbox original, the game will feature a mixture of rally, rallycross, ice racing and hill climb events, with 29 cars to drive and 48 tracks and stages spread across the various racing styles. Also included will be multiplayer network support to replace the split screen action of the console version. "We felt that the PC racing industry needed a shot in the arm, and what better way to shake up the category than with the critically acclaimed RalliSport Challenge", Microsoft's Stuart Moulder modestly pronounced. "RalliSport Challenge for the PC will feature action-packed racing and adventure from its Xbox predecessor, providing an intense experience to all PC gamers." If you don't own an Xbox, you should count your blessings. For our money RalliSport Challenge was the stand-out title amongst the Xbox's European launch line-up, and if the PC version can match its graphical prowess and edge-of-your-seat gameplay, Microsoft should be laughing all the way to the bank.
