Founded on two essential values - courage and endurance - the Dakar Rally has always united in the grandest and most extreme settings - the most beautiful and mythical of all deserts - the Sahara. The Paris-Dakar Rally famously pits 350 drivers against each other in a gruelling race over 6,500 miles. Participants race a variety of mixed-terrain vehicles including motorcycles, off-road 4X4 trucks and rally cars. Drivers are not only subjected against the fierce competition of several hundred other drivers but also need to battle against the most severe rallying conditions from the vastly challenging terrain and intense climate and weather conditions.

Dakar 2 is a racing game, of course simulating the famous Paris-Dakar Rally. Although not the real 6000 kilometers can be crossed in the game, the rally mode takes the player through 12 tracks all the way from France to Dakar. The tracks lead racers through cities, forests and the desert. Most of them are simple tracks, but there are desert tracks where the player can drive around freely, finding the checkpoints faster than the opponents. The player can choose from the officially licensed cars, trucks and bikes from Dakar 2002, but only vehicles of the same type can compete in a race. There is also an arcade racing mode, where all the tracks and vehicles that have been unlocked in rally mode can be selected, as well as a splitscreen mode for two players.

Features:
* Full on Arcade action - tighter tracks, faster cars, more traffic
* New checkpoint system to increase urgency and excitement
* Updated licensed cars, trucks and bikes for 2003
* Full damage on all vehicles - visible and physical
* Race cars vs trucks vs bikes in a 600 vehicle race from Paris to Dakar
* Navigational rallying across desert, dunes, forest and towns
* Features town stages in France, Spain and Morocco and then progresses on to traditional Dakar landscapes
* Race through a huge variety of visually rich environments including towns, villages, off-road tracks and traffic
* Close interaction with the environment, including animals, villagers, water, bush, trees, mines, etc.
