I. Version History/Introduction

3/28/02 - FAQ Up hope to update with Car Descriptions, Class Descriptions 
and Race Type Descriptions. Version .90


Rallying Like Mother Nature Intended

Get Rallisport Challenge and experience the white-knuckle thrill of 
hard-driving, off-road rally action.  Test your nerve and skill against the 
worst Mother Nature can throw at you - as you compete for global domination 
in the machines you\'ve have always wanted to drive

Rallying means sliding into hard turns on loose surfaces, losing and 
regaining traction, and mastering terrain that no ordinary machine would 
dare attempt.  While a novice racer can slide into a tight turn, an 
experienced rally racer learns to drift the car sideways through a turn to 
shave precious milliseconds off the clock.

V. Game Modes

	Career-Everyone has to start somewhere.  You will start in the Pro 
circuit 
with a limited selection of cars.  From there, you will have to race to 
prove yourself and unlock new cars and tougher events. Each event consists 
of several stages, but you don\'t need to win every stage to win the event.  
Every time you finish a stage, you earn points to rank higher.  You also can 
earn points but achieving a high top speed, excellent lap time, and avoiding 
car damage.  After each event your points are totaled up and added to your 
overall total, bringing you closer to qualifying for anew event class and 
unlocking new cars. As you progress through the different race classes-Pro, 
Expert, Classic and Unlimited-you\'ll unlock groups of cars that help you 
stay competitive.  Consistently superior racers will be rewarded with 
special bonus cars.

	Single Race-Single Race Mode lets you compete simultaneously against 
three 
computer-controller opponents on any unlocked tracks. Tough these races will 
not contribute to your point total, you can use Sing Races to sharpen your 
skills against the computer, or to just get in a quick race without entering 
a Career Event.

	Time Attack-Time Attack Mode allows you to race, undistracted, on the 
unlocked track of your choice. Your co-drive will still be there to give you 
navigational cues (rally and Hill Climb races only), but no other racers 
will be present, and you won\'t gain any points to use for unlocking new cars 
and events. Time attack also gives you the opportunity to save your best 
runs in the form of a ghost, which you can race against to improve your 
skills and times. After completing a Time Attack, you can save your new 
ghost to the Xbox hard drive. You can load these ghosts later to race 
repeatedly. Track records will always be saved to The Xbox hard drive, but 
you can only create ghosts in Time Attack Mode.

	Multiplayer-Some race for glory. Some race for the money. However, for 
others, there\'s nothing like the sheer thrill of humiliating your friends. 
Up to four players can compete simultaneously in a multiplayer race. From 
the game menu select Multiplayer. RSC will automatically detect the number 
of controllers and make the same number of slots available for racing. 
Unused controller ports will be ignored and those slots will be close for 
the race. Once the race is joined, all players get the chance to optimize 
their car settings. The played who fist entered Multiplayer Mode from the 
game menu gets the added options of determining the number of laps in the 
race, and where or the Time Elimination option is enabled. With this option 
enabled anyone who drives more than 30 seconds behind the leader will e 
dropped from the race.
