The Sega off-road racing game
The initial release date of Sega Rally Revo was September 27, 2007. It was published by Sega, but developed by Sega Racing Studio, Bugbear Entertainment. It received a nomination for the BAFTA Games Award for Gameplay. Sega Rally Revo is the 2007 game that includes 4WD and 2WD vehicles you can race with. There are over 30 vehicles you can choose from, and the models are fairly realistic when you consider the fact it was made in 2007.
A Very Good Rally Racing Game
One of the more loved elements of the game is the deformable terrain. It adds a little extra to the gameplay experience, and the smashable scenery helps create the illusion that you are driving a heavy and fast-moving car, rather than simply moving a marker around a track. The modelling is fairly realistic considering the year it was made, which means it looks good and more fun when things such as mud splashes on the cars.
Not Enough Tracks For Some People
There are six racing environments and they all have their own set of racing challenges. The skidding and drifting effects are good, and it is fun kicking around in the dirt. Watch the dirt build up on the back of your car as you drive around. The car can be a little difficult to handle if you are not used to the driving dynamic. The games that are set in mud and dirt will not allow for crisp handling and the game expects you to skid a little to make the corner. It expects you to slow a little as you enter, but then to drift a little and accelerate away early.
Skid Around The Corners Like A Pro
Turn off the audio signals for the turns. In real life, you would have a person in the car telling you the things that the commentator does on the game. However, in real life you do not have colour-coded arrows telling you what is coming up. They render the audio-instructions mute, and that is a good thing because they become annoying. You will soon tire of hearing “easy left” and “easy right.”
Pros
- Pick up and play
- An easy learning curve means you don’t have to waste hours practicing
- The music soundtracks are passable
- The mud splatter effects are fun
- Skidding and driving can be very entertaining
Cons
- The audio instructions
- A bit of music variety would have been nice
- More indication of how different vehicles handle is needed
