VGW: Sega Rally Online Arcade is an undoubtedly fun experience. The controls are tight and accessible, and the graphics are great for a downloadable title. The real issue is with how long that fun can last given the content that Sega has provided. If you feel as though you could take the fun of a short-lived arcade racer such as this and make it last more than a few hours, maybe this game is for you; though, most people will be left wanting more and they will be able to find more in the form of older retail titles going for similar prices on Amazon. But at least you’ll have the pretty graphics.
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."
