"As I grew up and was able to explore the world a bit more, arcade games made their way into my gaming repertoire and one of these was Sega Rally Championship, which brought a tad different dynamic. There was no real difference between the cars, the Lancia Delta and Toyota Celica, which for fans of World Rally Cross are stand-outs of the sport. I would pick one car and my competitor would choose the other but it was simply a façade. Akin to first person shooters of modern day, it ultimately had no tangible bearing on the outcome of the race; they just “looked cool”. Until the first turn of the race, it was an equal match, acceleration, top speed, handling… all the same. Instead of relying on the attributes of your vehicle, the outcome of your race was solely based on the ability of the driver. "

Following the launch of a Valentine’s sale on mobile devices, SEGA has revealed an upcoming promotion for PlayStation Network users. Set to hit the PlayStation Store later this month, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP) gamers will be able to get a number of popular videogame titles at a reduced price.
Why have they not ported Shenmue 1 and 2 over to PSN and XBLA! its been over a year since Sonic adventure hit the PSN!
Does the XBLA Sega Rally live up to an older gamer's expectations for the series?
Here is a snippet:
"Most of the game is about unlockables, which require multiple play-throughs of the same modes with the various cars available. You can also play ‘classic’- which is just a single race on a different track with the cars from the original rally game, or do time trials and quick races. Either way, there’s only 5 tracks in total, and even getting the full 200GS only took me about 3 hours."
... if you can just as well pick up Dirt 2 for less than 10 bucks, new, from a local shop, which has alot more content, better gameplay, and better visuals!?
They're very different styles of game, though. But I know what you mean :)
I found Sega Rally got dull pretty quickly.
For me, this would be a great little pickup if it wasn't all recycled content. I'd played it all before, so that definitely lowered my score.
PushSquare: "SEGA Rally Online Arcade does a decent job of bringing the arcade experience to the living room, though some flaws in the game’s online multiplayer mode mean it doesn’t quite reach its full potential."
