From the review:
"It’s funny…just a little over a year ago, the arcade racing genre was basically dead. It seemed like people had forgotten all about it and it had gone the way of the turn-based strategy. But now, all of a sudden, it seems that arcade racers are a dime a dozen. For better or worse, there is no shortage of options and Sega decided to add to the mix by bringing back their beloved Rally franchise with Sega Rally Online Arcade. This long-winded release marks the first game in the series in about four years (unless you live in Europe)."
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!?
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."
