Sega Rally Description

The long-awaited next-gen appearance of Sega Rally is here, and it's definitely been worth the wait. The whole package of sound and vision does not disappoint, even on a non-HDTV, and Sega fans of an offroad bent (we know there are plenty of you out there) will lap up every mud-spattered, dust-blown moment. There is the usual selection of race modes available in the PS3 and 360 versions of Sega Rally: Quick Race is where you simply choose a car and track and get into the action in an instant; Championship enables you to race against others in an attempt to win three separate rally championships. You start in the Premier Championship with a small selection of cars and attempt to accumulate sufficient points by winning races to open up the next championship; Time Attack is where you cover as much distance as possible against the clock as the only car on the circuit. You can select any car and track combination, post a record distance covered in the time provided on the Leaderboards and compete against a ghost car for a further challenge. And finally there is the multiplayer option, where you can race friends in the same room, or head online to race players from around the world. Both the PS3 and 360 versions enable up to six players to compete online.

Sega Rally is everything that is good about a racing game but also everything that is bad about a racing game. The graphics are excellent with heaps of rich, lush textures. All running at a good frame rate without a hint of slowdown. By and large, the handling mechanics of the cars is fluid enough to give a weighty feel but at the same type retain the arcade feel of the game. Sadly, thats where the plaudits end ! The game has some of the most difficult AI seen in a racing game, and after about ten or so levels into the career mode, the difficulty level goes into orbit. The AI cars constantly target you and your only chance of winning seems to be based on luck rather than driving skill or judgement. Its a shame really, because this game could have been a real winner. Even the online action turns into a sort of pseudo destruction derby event....thats of course if you can find a game ! A missed chance to give life to a classic SEGA franchise :(
