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."
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.
The aspect PS3 Attitude appreciates most about SEGA Rally Online Arcade (SROA) is its unapologetic allegiance to its title. At a time when gamers struggle to discern gameplay hints from the likes of Ar tonelico Qoga, SROA shines like a beacon of relative transparency.
For better or worse SROA gives you exactly what its namesake implies, a rally-racer with arcade roots that sports basic online functionality. Unfortunately it is from this steadfast commitment to a somewhat outdated genus that many of the games problems are forged.
