V-Rally 2 is an almost perfect rally driving game.  If I had to be picky, then I could say that although the rally driving feels good, the sealed road physics don't quite match up to the feel of Gran Trusimo, and you can't drive Dodge Vipers.

Well presented, balanced gameplay, wonderful replay mode (can't save them though), did I mention a track editor?!  Music by Syn, a Tool-esque type group, of course the English hate it.

Along with 2, 3 and 4 player modes, challenging AI (they can over-compensate, take corners too fast, and don't appear to cheat), and damageable cars, there is few features more that you could want, and almost no complaints to lay at those it has.

Kick-ass!

 

All cars, all trophies:
At the Game Progress screen, press L1, R1, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Up, Down, X, X + Select. You'll hear a sound to confirm. Now press X on any car or trophy to unlock it.
