Overview

Sega Rally 2, also known as Sega Rally 2: Sega Rally Championship or Sega Rally Championship 2, is a 3D rally racing game developed by Sega's AM Annex division and released by Sega for arcades (using their Model 3 hardware) on February 1998.

A sequel to the original Sega Rally Championship (Game) and developed by the team behind Sega Touring Car Championship (Game), Sega Rally 2 features a significant graphical update, as well as new environments to drive in and several new real-life rally cars to choose from.

The game later received a home conversion for the Sega Dreamcast in Japan on January 28, 1999, in Europe on October 14, 1999, and in North America on November 27, 1999. Along with an updated interface, this version features a career mode (10 Year Championship) with car tuning, split-screen multiplayer (with online multiplayer for the Japanese version), new unlockable cars to choose from, and several new courses to race on (with multiple weather and time-of-day options). This version was later released for Windows PCs.

Cars

Like the original Sega Rally Championship (Game), Sega Rally 2 features real-world rally racing cars to drive with. The game features a wider selection of cars to choose from, with the hidden car from the first game (the Lancia Stratos) being playable from the start and the two other cars from the first game (the Toyota Celica and the Lancia Delta) being hidden.

Ford Escort WRC
Subaru Impreza WRC
Toyota Corolla WRC
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V
Peugeot 306 Maxi
Lancia Stratos HF
Lancia Delta HF Integrale (hidden)
Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 (hidden)

The home versions of the game unlocks the two hidden cars by default and has additional cars that can be unlocked through the game's 10 Year Championship mode:

Subaru Impreza 555
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV
Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III
Peugeot 106 Maxi
Lancia Delta Integrale 16V
Fiat 131 Abarth
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 E2
Alpine-Renault A110
Lancia 037 Rally

In addition, the Renault Maxi Megane (and for the PC version, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI) can be unlocked in the home versions' Arcade Mode, and some cars have alternate hidden liveries. The PC version replaces the Ford Escort with the hidden unlockable joke car "Kerolla WRC" (which resembles a cartoon frog).

Courses

Arcade

Like Sega Rally Championship, the base game includes four courses based on different environments (although the fourth course is no longer locked to the player's performance).

Desert
Mountain
Snowy
Riviera

The Riviera stage has a hidden unlockable section that is used as a mini-game where the player drives around an oval to knock over cones for score (with its own secret high score display).

Home

Each of the four courses from the arcade version return for the Dreamcast and PC versions, along with new variants of the Desert, Mountain, and Snowy courses and three new environments (Muddy, Isle, and the hidden unlockable course Super S.S.), for a total of 17 courses.
