A Disappointing Entry to a Great Series 0
Growing up as a kid, I had a varied exposure to racing games.

The sequel moved away from the traditional sport setup and went into the field of extreme sports, such as the X-Games, where rally events didn’t have the dominate focus by which the series is normally known.
