Original Sega Rally Set for PS2
Sega to package original game with new PS2 update.
by IGN Staff
October 26, 2005 - Sega's update to its classic arcade rally franchise is at last nearing completion. The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that Sega Rally 2006 will see Japanese release on January 12.
The game will, according to the magazine, support the GT Force, GT Force Pro and a mysterious device called "GT Force Pro For Sega Rally." This steering controller will be released along side the game at a cost of 14,800 yen. There's no word yet on the changes being made for the "For Sega Rally" version of the Logitech steering wheel device, although it will be available in limited quantities.
The update on Sega Rally 2006 doesn't end with the release date and controller, though. Famitsu also reveals that the first shipment of the game will include the original Sega Rally Championship arcade game. A perfect port of the original arcade title, players will be able to select championship and practice modes and two cars.
Sega Rally 2006 has seen a somewhat bumpy development cycle, being delayed so long that Sega ended up having to change its name from the original Sega Rally 2005. The game played wonderfully at the September Tokyo Game Show, though, and with the bundled arcade title adding a bit of nostalgia, this should be a no-brainer for Sega fanatics, and possibly rally fanatics as well.
