WRC 2 EXTREME (USED) - PS2 (RESTART)
Here is a synopsis of WRC II Extreme (also known as WRC 2002) for PlayStation 2:
Developed by Evolution Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2002, WRC II Extreme is a rally simulator for the PlayStation 2, a direct sequel to the original "WRC World Rally Championship" game.
The game boasts an official FIA license, which means it includes:
- All 14 official WRC events from the 2002 World Rally Championship calendar, taking players across diverse and challenging terrain such as the snowy roads of Sweden, the dusty savannahs of Kenya, the twisting passes of Monaco and the foggy roads of England.
- 21 official WRC drivers and 7 official WRC teams from the 2002 season, faithfully recreated with cutting-edge facial technology and the real voices of the co-drivers.
- Authentic WRC cars with a detailed damage system and realistic handling model, developed with the assistance of real rally motorsport engineers.
WRC II Extreme aims to offer a highly realistic rally experience. Players can compete in a full season of the championship, managing their cars, making strategic repairs between stages, and adjusting their vehicle setup (over 600,000 combinations) to adapt to different terrain and weather conditions. The game boasted impressive graphics for its time, with tracks modeled from real satellite data and extremely detailed car models.
In addition to the main championship, the game offers several modes, including quick races, time trials, and "Super Special" (closed-circuit stages) for two-player action. A unique feature is the inclusion of unlockable "Extreme" bonus vehicles , designed by top WRC designers to offer a glimpse into the future of rally car design, providing a more powerful and less constrained driving experience. The game also features a full replay mode with a wide range of camera angles, developed with the assistance of real WRC broadcasters.
