I only planned to convert my 10 Year Champ. Settings Guide from my Web Page but decided to go for a full blown FAQ instead. Hooray! ==================================================================== CONTENTS ==================================================================== A.Introduction B.Controls/Playing Tips(under contstruction) C.10 Year Championship Settings Guide D.Next Revision ==================================================================== A. INTRODUCTION ==================================================================== Sega Rally 2 is the first racing game for the Dreamcast. It's a great racer with a nice mixture of realism and arcadishness(word?). What you may notice about Sega Rally 2 is that the emphasis isn't on speed alone, you need to have great control over your car in order to reach the top speeds. This control issue can be very frustrating if you'rejust beginning to play this great title. That's why I decided to include a Control and Playing Tips section. Give this game a chance and I'm sure you'll get hooked on it. ==================================================================== B. CONTROLS / PLAYING TIPS ==================================================================== CONTROLS These are the default controls for the game Steering-------Analog Stick Acceleration---R Trigger Brake----------L Trigger Side Brake-----B button Shift Up-------A button Shift Down-----X button PLAYING TIPS <> Truth be told, I hadn't played Sega Rally 2 for a while thanks to Giant Gram,Power Stone,Marvel vs Capcom, etc...but I've recently got hooked on it again. I don't feel my skills are at the level they should be just yet to write up this section, but once I'm back "in the groove" so to speak, I'll start this section up. Next update probably. ==================================================================== C. 10 YEAR CHAMPIONSHIP GUIDE ==================================================================== This is the main reason I created this FAQ, along with the Playing Tips section but seeing as how that is under construction at the moment, this will make up the bulk of the document. The 10 Year Championship mode in SR2 is the biggest addition to the home version from the arcade. Yes there's Network Play but I have an Asian DC and wouldn't spend the money for the LD calls to Japan anyway^_^ Each year in the 10 Yr Championship is made up of 4 races, and it's your goal to be in 1st place at the end of the year. No, you don't have to come in 1st for every race. This is Rally racing! IMO they could've added a couple more races for each year to make it seem longer, but oh well. It's still very fun as it is. In order to come in 1st at the end of the year you have to pass a certain number of cars in each race. To do this you have to fiddle with your cars settings to get the most out of it during the races. This Guide contains my suggestions for each year, including what car to pick and where to toggle the settings. I also list what car you win for coming in 1st for each year. The Guide is setup like this: YEAR #--Suggested Car RACE #(Terrain Type) Tires: Type of tire to use Brakes: -5 to +5, the "quickness" of the breaks Steer: -5 to +5, how loose or tight the Steering will be Rear: -5 to +5, how soft or hard the Rear Suspension will be Front: -5 to +5, how soft or hard the Front Suspension will be Gear: -5 to +5, how low or high the Gear Ratio will be Place: The minimun place you must come in to have a chance at 1st Win Car: Name of the car you win for coming in 1st. ==================================================================== ==================================================================== YEAR 1--Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 RACE 1(Muddy) Tires: Gravel-Dry Damp/Wet Brakes: +1 Steer: +2 Rear: +1 Front: +1 Gear: -1 Place: 12th RACE 2(Isle) Tires: Asphalt-Dry/Damp Brakes: +1 Steer: +2 Rear: 0 (Normal) Front: 0 Gear: -1 Place: 9th RACE 3(Snowy) Tires: Snow-Snow Brakes: +2 Steer: +2 Rear: -3 Front: -3 Gear: -2 Place: 5th or 6th RACE 4(Riviera) Tires: Asphalt-Wet Brakes: -1 Steer: +2 Rear: -1 Front: -1 Gear: -1 Place: 1st!
