GDN’s Death Rally (2012) Review

GDN:

Death Rally comes from an obscure but excellent history. It shares a title and premise with the 1996 PC title Death Rally, which gave you a car, a gun, and very few rules as you were turned loose on several tracks played in an overhead style similar to late 80s to early 90s arcade racing games like Ivan ’Ironman’ Stewart’s Super Off Road. Great track design combined with gradually upgrading your car resulted in a game that was easy to learn, and had just the right mix of racing and fighting. Now in 2012, we have a remake of that classic. While it gets the basic idea right, some of the details aren’t quite as they should be.
