Play Rally Challenge 2000 Online

Game Overview

Rally Challenge 2000 is that rough-around-the-edges N64 racer where you can almost smell the burnt rubber and feel the suspension rattle. You’ve got real rally beasts like the Impreza and Lancer Evo, each handling differently—some understeer like a shopping cart, others fishtail if you breathe on the throttle wrong. The damage system’s basic (just a little icon that slowly turns from green to red), but it actually matters—your car gets sluggish, like driving through syrup.

The tracks are the real star, though. Nine courses from snowy mountain passes to desert stretches, and the weather changes everything. Pick the wrong tires before a rainy stage and you’ll spend half the race sliding into guardrails. Championship mode’s where it’s at—nine brutal rounds where every scrape adds up. Or just trash-talk your friends in 4-player splitscreen while someone inevitably claims the controller’s lagging.

It’s janky by today’s standards, but there’s something satisfying about wrestling these cars through hairpins at 2AM with the N64 controller vibrating in your hands.
