Rally Challenge 2000 - Nintendo 64 Review - HD 

I'm impressed by the car models and the reflections on the windows.

The reason it reminds us of Sega Rally is because some of Genki's employees were former employees of Sega.

I actually bought this on amazon after watching your review. It turned out to be extremely enjoyable and a game I wish I owned as a kid. Keep up the great reviews man. EDIT: I got it about two weeks ago and beat all best laps/mirror cups & championship, still play a race or two daily. Its just addictive.

Man that Golf Sony Rally car is so nostalgic, I used to rent this game when I was a little kid with my N64, I actually had fun with this game.

Ahh, I love these reviews...these have led me to several N64 game purchases within the past few months. Great stuff man!

Hey Mr Plant! Love your channel and I am quickly working my way through each and every video. When you've covered all N64 games, whats next? Gamecube Series or perhaps Super Nintendo? Thanks for the vids!

Hey Glenn, just curious. What are your top 5 N64 racing games?

Wow... Thanks for the review. I saw some great gameplay while you have your pros and cons about it. If not for you, I would've never seen/known about this game. I'm a huge racing fan. I'm definitely picking this up!!!!

Never played this one, your footage make it seems like it worth a try, but I've always been disapointed by rally games on N64.

This was a common rental for us. Race games were some of the only games my brother could beat me at and he was damn good at them.

I never knew MRC had a sequel... This just blew my mind! I must get this!!! 🦄🦄🦄

Top notch review. Love your commentary.

Such a shame this didnt get a release here!! it looks fun and wanted to try it :(

I - CANT- WAIT!! till you do WORLD DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP!

Rally 99 and 2000 are the same game, it wasn't a prequel, it just came out in Japan and NA first.

Rally Challenge 2000 is a great Racing game in the same level as Sega Rally and overall the best rally-racing game on the N64

Had this game and MRC as a kid, but never knew 2000 was the sequel.

I remember this and it looks to be a lot of fun but I do agree that the fog in this game is not that good great review Gleen ^_^

It does look very much like Sega Rally, some of the tracks look quite similar to both Sega Rally 1 and 2 (was 2 out that long for them to have played it?) But rally games, I was forever picking them out of the Blockbuster ex-rental bins as they'd always be dirt cheap (excuse the pun) like a fiver each, and some had only just come out, so no one ever rented rally games it seems.

I checked this game out yesterday on my PC and had a good time in the arcade mode. Didn't take me long to get the gold trophies. I found out that spamming the brake button when taking big turns really helps to avoid hitting the walls. Later today I'm gonna do the championship mode. Btw the reflections look awesome.

Yeah it is quite illogical why this game wasn't released in Europe considering the popularity of rally games here...

How dare you mention this game and Sega Rally in the same breath!! Just shows what an achievement Sega Rally was, on the Saturn and realised 4 years earlier. I didn't realise this was a sequel to MRC though....think I have this on my Everdrive so may give it a bash.

BTW, Rally Challenge 2000 introduced me to the Seat, Skoda, and Proton brands. Wish their cars could be sold in the US...

Go!...Go,Go,Go. haha, good times with this one back then. I always chose the SEAT primarily because it looked so cool and couldn't be found anywhere in North America.

Bonito juego siempre m gusto gracias a rally 2000 pase horas de diversion es de los mejores cartuchos del n64

Good review :)

been a hard segarally player i never knew of this game (EU), and se how the car handles it do reminds me of that titel

Great review, I played this shortly after watching and this game 100% has that pick up and play factor. With. 64 games now (generally) available cheaply (particularly unboxed) the last ability of a game is less important. That wasn’t the case when I was a lad and having to drop £50 on a game 😅

What is terrifying is there are some Switch racing games that look like this just in HD. Because some game devs/publishers have no shame. Also motion blur is the devil. Always.

I played this religiously. You finally mentioned it. Marry me.

I actually think this game is ok. It`s probably as close to Sega Rally as rally game could legally be on N64. Too bad Rally Masters was cancelled for N64...

Imagine asking your parents for Mobil 1 Rally Championship (which was also sold under the name Rally Championship 2000) and getting this instead.

@N64 Glenn Plant I love Codemasters Colin McRae Dirt, BigBen’s WRC Series And V-rally 4

The announcer in this game sounds like he's whispering everything he says. I found the handling weird. There was no need for the brake button and you simply had to use hard turning without acceleration to get around corners. Still, like you said, Glenn, there's something addictive about it.

If you enjoy playing this game then it's a great game.

Sega Rally, and Touring Car Championship both look far better than this, except for the windows reflections. The N64 SHOULD have used CD.

I recently played this for the first time using the Everdrive 64 and it has quickly become one of more favourite N64 racers. It does have that arcade drifting feel of Sega Rally. Possibly Genki's best racing game?

@n64 Glenn Plant Am I crazy or can I not find your MRC review?

Graphics-wise, Rally Challenge 2000 isn't bad. Each car looks different from each other and most of them look very nice. Sadly, the courses you race on look extremely bland.

Does anybody have a clue how to save the progress in the arcade mode?

have you heard of a game called automobili Lamborghini?

I remember renting this back in the day. It was ok, not really anything special but it wasn't horrible either.

brill review Glenn, not played this one though, but if it plays like sega rally that cant be bad!

Your explanation of the co driver was hilarious XD hope you are well bid :-)

I'm sad that no quality rally games like Colin Mcrae never made it to the 64. All of the rally games on the 64 just feel like budget titles with bad physics.

I've never played this game, with all the racers I have on the N64 I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get this but would pick it up for cheap if I found it in the wild.

the only rally racer game i really enjoyed is Colin MacRae rally 2 (ps1)

This game seems to be a nice one but I think Top Gear Rally 2 was awesome and maybe the best rally game on the console. Very hard also. You should review that game as well! Cheers Glenn!

Good content

I'd love to give this game a try, but if it wasn't released in Europe, then I'm fucked :/

I bought this game a few years back just based on it's graphics alone. When I popped it in I didn't really know what to think honestly. I seemed to be enjoying it ok even though the co driver sounds like he's taking a dump when calling out directions. There is something that is just flat about this game. The control doesn't seem to be as free and lose as it should be. Overall it's capable of being enjoyed if your options are limited, but I have racing games that are way more worthy of my time than this one.

Great game.

1:00 Errr the Japanese Rally Challenge 99 and the US Rally Challenge 2000 are the exact same game.

if you enjoyed this game, maybe consider giving some of Genki`s other racers a try. Tokio Extreme Racer for the dreamcast or ps2, or Import tuner challenge on the xbox360 are all extremely fun, addictive and deep arcade style racers. These are my favourite racing games, and for a long time I couldn't really enjoy other racers because they just couldn't compare.

Why would you not release this in E.U? That's like making a baseball game and skipping a U.S. release lol

Maybe it's just me, but this just looks like another one of those generic racers on the N64. There are SO many racing games for the system, it's crazy!

Best rally game ever is Power Drive Rally on the mighty Jaguar!

Aaaa grasias este videojuego es mega grandioso ya qu no se puede emular en android solo sparecen llantas sin coche solo si tienes un n64 o tienes un emulador de n64 muy bueno o potente grasias rally challenge 2000

And even MORE confusing is the Rally Championship series for PC! I reviewed one of those (shameless, shameless plug) back in my shitty/early days. ;) Love Rally racing. Very strange for someone as American as I am.

Looks like another game too look out for when I'm out retro hunting, but I would not pay more then $5 for it.

If I want to play a game like this, I'll pick up a more recent release. N64 and realism don't really go well together.

And rally challenge 2000 is not in europe

I would've though this game as just another poop racing game, but it actually looks kind of cool. I will have to keep an eye out for it.

good but, MRC is better than rally challenge 2000

Nuh Uh...I'm First!

Yay, first view!
