Rallisport 2 downloadable content

More cars, and more careers.

A pretty good day for downloads, this. Not content with Ninja Gaiden content and a RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 demo, we've also got a batch of new downloadables for Rallisport Challenge 2, which should be available on Xbox Live by the time you read this.

It's a free download, which is something, and it consists of four new cars, two new career disciplines, and new skins for each car. And what will they be driving away today? A Volvo Amazon (an interesting image), a Saab 96, a BMW X5 and a VW Touareg.

The new "careers", meanwhile, are Mountain Challenge (Hill Climbs) and Arena Challenge (Ice Racing and Rally Cross), and yes we're cribbing this from somewhere else; your correspondent prefers limited amounts of slip-slidery, and all this rallymegook seems like double-Dutch.

However, if it floats your mud-coated Focus, then go right ahead. The vehicles and careers stuff weighs in at 1180 blocks, and the extra car skins 3397 blocks.
