The Sega Rally series are an icon in the game industry. But does this next gen sequel live up its glory days, or not?
When you play this game for the very first time, you probably notice the neat graphics. Good damage model, great lighting, and I could go on like this forever. And, as you probably know, next gen isn't only the looks, it is also the interaction with the environment. Like water that takes away the mud as you cross it, and stuff like that.
But why does this review starts so negative? It is actually next gen, so this title should be alright then? Sadly enough, the opponent AI is poor. Alright, this can be helped by its good online functions. But, as a training mode, the singleplayer doesn't do its job. But there are more problems. Like the lack of variety in the races. And also, the lack of tracks in the game.
But, we should respect this, because there are almost no next gen old school race games out there. But even that can't save this Sega title. So, if you're a fan of rally racing, and have a next gen console at home, you should probably check out Colin McRae DiRT.
