Even on the largest of TV's, racing in that narrow strip is never as fun as racing on a track that takes up the entire screen. Just another good reason they should have included that modem option. The sound and music in SEGA Rally 2 is adequate. The music gets rather repetitive and annoying after a few hours but not nearly as annoying as your co-driver. Yes, you have partner in the passenger seat calling out the direction and sharpness of each upcoming turn.
Sound effects are good.
I've already discussed my issues with the poor handling and control. In all fairness to the game I went out and got a Concept 4 Racing Wheel . The wheel offered no better control over any of the cars in this game. In fact, I think I may have had slightly better control using my standard issue controller. In the end it all comes down to game play and for me SEGA Rally 2 just didn't deliver.
