"Paris-Dakar is one of the world's most dynamic and challenging annual racing events, and translates perfectly into the realm of interactive entertainment," said Ben Fischbach, Director of AKA Acclaim. "With a diverse array of vehicles and terrains, Dakar 2: The World's Ultimate Rally is the racing equivalent of 'Survival of the Fittest'."

The world's most insane off-road rally race returns to the next-generation gaming systems with Dakar 2: The World's Ultimate Rally for the Nintendo GameCube.
