As well as enjoying the delights of Area 51 this weekend, the main thrust of my gameplay has been the excellent Sega Rally Revo on Xbox 360. Typical of me, I have had the game sitting under the TV since Christmas Day, and only this weekend did I decide to give it a play.
I'm absolutely hooked! As the guy in the video explains, it has many a references to the original game and indeed the developers at the British based Sega Racing Studio, had an original Sega Rally Arcade cab (like the one I'm pictured in below) in their building so that they never lost sight of the glory of the first incarnation.
The game also provided me with my first ever online play, as I raced total strangers over the magic of the internet. That's it, I'll be obsessing over this title for a long time to come, trying to shave seconds off lap times and unlocking all the unlockable content!
It could very well knock the original Sega Rally off the top spot for my favourite driving game of all time!

This game certainly looks excellent, and I was looking forward to purchasing it once the price on it lowered a bit.
Unfortunately, it sold a paltry 11,000 copies on the 360. That's a major flop. Despite this, I'd still rather play it over the new Need for Speed.
Too bad I don't have a Xbox 360 and probably never will have one. They should have ported it the Saturn instead. ;(
Just joking. I am looking forward to play it, once I visit Father Krishna at the Junkyard's 10th anniversary.
Which reminds me I haven't been to an arcade for aeons...
Damn, I can't seem to like it, no matter how hard I try... The cars feel weightless, they don't seem to turn properly, the AI drivers race better than Colin McRae himself... *sigh*
At least I'm not the only one with this opinion. Some time ago a friend of mine who's also a Sega Rally fan tried the game and apparently he thinks the same
Well, I guess I'll try to play the final version instead of just the demo (ha, who am I kidding? It'll be the same...)
