When it comes to racing games, most people mention Gran Turismo and the Project Gotham series, often forgetting about the genre's legendary past. Sega Rally played a huge role in defining the modern day racer, and Sega plans to bring it back in the form of Sega Rally Arcade, launching on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in 2011.

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."
cool. maybe they'll finally bring outrun to the PSN in NA this time as well.
these cheap PSN and XBLA games are starting to become alot more numerous. Im not sure if thats good or bad.
Game Over Yeahhhh!!!
Sega Rally time as passed now its just an budget title.
they should release the one on the saturn on psn. that still is the best one.
