V rally 3 ps2 gameplay
Titles
The game was released under different titles in each region. The original European PlayStation release was titled as V-Rally 97 Championship Edition, with its Platinum and Japanese versions being re-titled as V-Rally Championship Edition. In North America this version was released as Need for Speed: V-Rally because Electronic Arts acquired the rights to publish the game in order to help sales, due to the fact that rally racing held little support in the USA, yet V-Rally isn't a part of the Need for Speed series because EA didn't make it. The first Windows release was known as V-Rally Multiplayer Championship Edition and the later 1999 version as V-Rally Edition 99(The PC version only saw a release in Europe). The Nintendo 64 version was released under the V-Rally Edition 99 name in all countries it was released in. The European Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions were released under the V-Rally Championship Edition name and the American and Japanese GBC version as V-Rally Edition 99.
Symbian UIQ version
There was a Symbian UIQ version designed for mobile phone such as Sony Ericsson P910/P900/P800.
It includes 11 configurable cars, 13 tracks of the 1997 FIA World Rally Championship season.
V-Rally Edition '99
V-Rally Edition '99, a Nintendo 64, PC port of the game, was released in 1999, offering slightly improved graphics and menus. Includes all cars and tracks of the 1998 FIA World Rally Championship.
Game Boy Color version
It includes 20 stages in 10 worldwide locations.
Gameplay
Unlike other rally games available at the time, such as Colin McRae Rally, V-Rally allowed two players to race directly against one another, rather than against the clock, in a split screen mode.
In both games, players can race in 10 locations. The game includes 11 official World Rally Championship cars, with 4 from WRC and 7 from Formula 2 Kit Cars.
Reception
The Official PlayStation Magazine praised the graphics and the 2-player mode, and said the game was "a huge game, by far the most comprehensive racer on this or any other platform since Psygnosis' F1", 9/10.
