Sega Rally (PS3)

I used to play this on the Sega Dreamcast (shame they stopped making that console, it was superb). There was nothing better than hacking around the tracks with my mates. This version for the PS3 was just £17.99 when I purchased it and it offers 1-2 players split-screen. You can race up to six players online. It displays the graphics at up to 720P and is rated 6+. The graphics are pretty sharp on this one. The cars have a lot of detail, but the tracks are sometimes a little rough around the edges. Gameplay is fun... what you have to remember is that this is not a simulator. When you crash into the the sides of the track you just bounce off. Yes, the cars get ...  Read the complete review

Sega Rally simply oozes arcade brilliance, which means bright beautiful graphics, fast paced adrenaline fuelled action and in the case of the Sega Rally series, the concept of sliding around corners which can be as frustrating as it is rewarding.

On the downside, the game is a few tracks light despite the option to race backwards (and compete in time trials, etc) and more notably, the online options are slim. This is perhaps levelled out by the games 'real time' terrain which degenerates in 'real time' over the course of a race. ...  Read the complete review

I got SEGA Rally for free after buying it with my GAME Reward Points and I have to say it was a good decision. The game is very easy to play and very casual. The controls are very easy and the game is just like the SEGA Rally arcade games from years ago. However, the game also has various problems. The graphics are very good and the soundtrack is good to listen to when racing round the tracks. The framerate is perfect and the game runs very smoothly. The game has alot of cars to use but the tracks are very similar and not very hard to complete. The Championship mode is very hard and gets alot harder as the game goes on. The game ...  Read the complete review

Everyone remembers this game at the arcades; the original Sega Rally arcade game was a revolution, as a child sitting in that bucket seat gripping the steering wheel like your life depended on it. So when I see this had been released you on the PS3 I immediately went out and bought it. And that's about where the excitement ends unfortunately, the game is a real disappointment, yes there's plenty of cars to choose from but I found the track were rather predictable and the game play was not as good as it should have been for a next generation game, the championship mode is fairly difficult to begin with and gets even harder as you progress and unlock more races. ...  Read the complete review
