This game immediately brings me back to the days where SEGA fought head to head with the giant's of this fine industry. Now the Saturn wasn't the best system, in fact it was one of Sega's worst in terms of support. But one launch game will live long in the memory, SEGA Rally. Despite the fact it only had a few courses and two cars it was the best racer on the system.
So what does this update have to offer? After a full retail edition which scored highly I'm happy to report that the downloadable title is of a very high standard. Everything you love about arcade racing is here, short bursts of total fun. We have the usual fair of modes here for racing games, Championship, Quick Race, Online and Time Attack. Each mode is pretty self explanatory and all very solid affairs.
But how does it race? This of course, is the crucial part for a racing game. The answer is overwhelmingly positive. Sliding round dirt corners and seeing your pristine white Celica receive a torrent of abuse from the wet mud that clings to your car is a welcome sight. The handling of the cars really is perfect and the AI of the cars is pretty much spot on. Providing a challenge without becoming difficult.
So if your looking for a fun arcade racer look no further than Sega Rally, a fun game for a little over £6 from the PSN and Xbox Live. It's one of my picks of the summer.
9/10
