The Master Rallye is a 5000 km long rallye from Paris to Moscow. It takes ten days to do this distance and the track leads through seven countries and all terrain types, from asphalt road over dust ways to mud and even snow. Ten days, you are alone with the road and the roaring sound of your engine. With this game, you can participate on one of the most demanding rallyes of the world. You need to race through 30 stages, on all terrain, against aggressive AI opponents, to win the cup.
The game is the official Master Rallye computer game.
Master Rallye features stages up to nine square kilometers in area, allowing for players to take shortcuts over open terrain or potentially get lost. The texture of that terrain is communicated to the player through a detailed handling engine, using several real vehicle attributes to simulate the behavior of each car on different surfaces. 18 different suspension characteristics can be modified in each of the off-road trucks and jeeps that undertake the race, in order to adapt to the peculiarities of different stages.
Each stage is designed with a certain number of specific elements, which are then expanded upon by a random object placement system. The engine can apparently place and display thousands of different background objects (rocks, greenery, and so on) which buzz past at a continuous 60 frames per second. This apparently doesn't hamper draw distance a great deal, creating open environments with a fair amount going on in them.
Get ready to go off-road way off-road. The race to end all races, Master Rallye puts your skills and endurance to the test sending you off on a 5,000-kilometer journey. The rough terrain is only the beginning of your worries, as the blistering heat, tough competition, and near-impossible navigation of the title's expansive environments will all try to ruin you. Its action based on the real Master Rallye, the game takes place on a stretch of land that spans Paris to Istanbul, all of which is detailed in full 3D.
Priding itself on state-of-the-art vehicle models, Master Rallye is packed with obstacles and hidden bonuses throughout. As would be the case in real life, drivers must parlay quick reflexes and immediate, sharp tactics with a more advanced understanding of strategy, patience, and opponent psychology. Originally released on the PC, the game is the perfect fit for the memory-intensive PlayStation 2 console, and features white-knuckle two-player action.
