Sega Rally Revo for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Wow, people are so critical of this game. Me, I just plain had fun with this game. I guess a lot of people have never driven in dirt before - this game brings that experience to the game screen nicely, without going overboard. This is a very playable game. Very easy to unlock features in the game, as long as you play steadily for a while. As I get better, I see my time scores getting better too. As usual SEGA brings a very nice experience to the game screen.

My only gripe is that I only have 2 controller layout choices to choose from. Being right handed, I wanted to put the steering controls under my right thumb, but you can only have it under your left thumb - extremely annoying. But that is the only gripe I have about it.

From the first hour I played this game, it didn't seem as bad as people liken it to be toward the "other" rally game. Then once I got into the more difficult area's of the game, it got really intense, and if you like a challenge in a racing game, this is one for you.

Now I will just be throwing out the fact this game is a arcade with slight simulation in it, like every other game before it, we can get on with the review :p. Most games have a habit of leaving basic skid marks by placing a image on the textured floor, in this game the entire track has been applied with a wire-mesh frame work, so when you fly around for 2nd 3rd lap its even more crazy, and the turns get really rough with tire marks and wall draining out into them, and once you get further into the game it can mean sliding close/tapping into a rail or wall or some trees, or slamming right into them and spinning around and losing the entire race, and mind you can not restart race in this game, just like the old school versions. In fact you can't even restart a race series, they are broken up into 3 races per race series, then you need to do 3-5 more of those each worth 30 points, then the champ races which are 90+ points each, then into another thing that's worth even more. Each time you score first you get 10 points :p so were talking 9 races for a section of a bigger race.

I will admit some places in this game get ridiculous, and I will be 1st in 3 races, then one race hits on a curtain course and I will be 6th the entire time! Some of the AI in first is ridiculously fast, and I think in some cases, you can not win unless you really a pro and do not tap or ram any walls period (you lose speed kind of like Initial D ie). Besides that, a lot of dust and particle effects will destroy your view (I play in first person so it might be different in 3rd) where you will literally slam right into a wall or a rock sticking out, then lose the race.
Being my first gamefly rental not bad :p.
