Sega initially planned the PlayStation 2 release date for 2005 as a 10-year anniversary celebration version, and was to be named “Sega Rally 2005”, but the launch date was postponed. Several features have been removed from the previous Sega Rally 2 for Dreamcast, both Network Battle and two-player Battle multiplayer modes are not available anymore. The music genre has been changed from instrumental Hard Rock with classic tunes such as “Conditioned Reflex” (the 1996 “Plus” edition BGM being performed by the Japanese act “X-BAND”) to Lo-Fi synthesizer driven pop becoming a key change in the series. When Sega Rally 2 offered 3ch Surround sound, the 2006 edition is only Stereo/Mono, which is a surprising backstep on a 6ch Dolby Digital/Pro Logic II capable machine.
Sega Rally Championship 1995 is also available as a bonus disc
