Sega Rally Revo - first look

But sadly, this means Sega Rally will never be the same again. The 1995 original was loved for many reasons. It was beautiful, yes. It handled perfectly, yes. But its long-term appeal was to be found in bettering your completion time across the game's three main stages (the fourth wasn't counted in your record). The brilliance of this was that everything was constant except you. The tracks were unchanging. The CPU cars were infallible and simply followed their lines flawlessly, every time. You could tell how you were doing by how soon you overtook each rival.
