Judging by the raft of next-gen racing games released this year any developer considering entering the genre will need to meet strict criteria just to match the competition. A super-realistic damage engine? Check. A customisation tool that makes Photoshop look like Mario Paint? You bet. And more cars than Tim Westwood? Absolutely. With this in mind, does SEGA Rally stall at the starting grid, considering it lacks these pretty much all of these vital criteria? Thankfully, no. You see, while it may have none of the above what it lacks in extras it makes up for with an extremely enjoyable racing experience that's more thrilling than Richard Hammond's driving career.
YouTube's member 'nfsking2000' has created an interesting tribute to rally games, in which we get to see the actual evolution of this genre from its MS-DOS days to its current-gen ones.

The last great rally game was Colin McRae Rally 2005. Everything after that, went towards the arcade racer market. Now that being said, due to where I live I have never been able to play the WRC series.
Richard Burns Rally is still considered the best rally game ever made by many hardcore rally game fans.
With game prices still relatively high and the number of quality games seemingly forever on the rise, it’s easy to miss out on some of the hidden or unappreciated gems that managed to slip onto store shelves all but undetected.
This blog is aimed at highlighting some of the best deals that the web has to offer while also bringing your attention to a few classic games that perhaps slipped under your radar first time around.
This was the first game I got for my PS3 in January 2008 and I was blown away by how amazing it looked back then, pretty fun game if you can only spare a few pounds.
GamerZines: Ever since news broke that LucasArts have decided to cancel development of the next Star Wars Battlefront, we've been racking our brains thinking of ten other gaming properties which we'd love to see revived.
Some are old and others are new, but everyone will at least agree with one or two on this optimistic wishlist.
this one looks like it will be better than dirt. Never expected that.
Where did that comment come from?
They are not even the same genre.
Regardless I just hope it plays better than Dirt. It seems this reviewer really enjoyed it.
I was a bit let down by Dirt. :( RIP Colin
