Dakar 2: The World's Ultimate Rally is aracing video game developed byAcclaim Studios Cheltenham and published byAcclaim Entertainment forPlayStation 2,GameCube andXbox. It is based on the real-lifeParis Dakar Rally - one of the world's most difficult and dangerous sporting events. Based on the2002 running of the event, the game begins in ruralParis and ends on a beach inDakar,Senegal, with 11 stages in between, including tracks in theSahara Desert andAtlas Mountains.
The selection of thevehicles is made of three main classes:bikes (will oversteer when in sharp turns),cars (pickup trucks), andtrucks (big rigs powered by diesel). As an attempt to recreate the Dakar event, the game offers overall twelve tracks, which range from villages to deserts. Each course has certain features, so the players have to customize their vehicle to match the conditions. During the race, there is a progress meter on the screen with five parts, each slowly changing to blue as the players are pacing between checkpoints, and subsequently turning to red or green depending on how the passed time matches up to the minimum needed.
