"Very good fun!!" - 15 October 2007
Think of Sega Rally as Ridge racer in mud and you get the idea. It's track racing ala PGR, Forza etc, but in rally environments. There is track deformation which adds a dimension to the game.
30 odd cars to collect with a few liveries for each. 12 or so courses + reverse versions. It's a fun blast in the mud. Don't expect it to keep you occupied for hours every night for weeks. This is not a deep game with masses of cars and tracks like PGR, but it is good fun, and pretty challenging on the harder levels too.
I would recommend it, though it probably won't be long before you can pick it up cheap in the trade in section, as it's fairly simplistic and certain types of gamer will play this for a week then trade it in. If you are one of those types, it's probably better to rent it.
This is all based on the retail version of the game, not the demo.

"Download Demo NOW!!!" - 17 September 2007
Just finished playing and smiling widely at this gem of a demo!! Ok music is a bit arcady ie loud and crash bang wallop , graphics very arcady ie bright and colouful , the track has sides ( so you cant fall into ravine or water ) so realists you can leave now!! BUT , FUN is its first middle and last name , having traded Dirt / Forza 2 , nice looks and heaps of options, but online either full of serious petrol heads or whingers , ooh stop nudging me.. ohh you cheat etc..this is what us normals have been waiting for ,full on racing FUN and by golly the 360 needs some games which make you smile. IF the online is up to the job , please please!!, it will be a wonderful slidey shunty speedy super doopah game. I'll see you on the track people :) .. a must buy!!

"Sega Rally, really ? Or, Colin McDirt ? Surely Shirley ?" - 9 October 2007
Sega Rally is tons of fun. Proper arcade rally just like the original. Anyone remember the Sega Saturn, let alone the arcades ? Same feel to the cars, same sense of incredible speed, even a helicopter blowin dirt in your face like back in the good old days. All the original's buzz with the added bonus of Sega's typically crystal clear next gen visuals and sound to match. It's not entirely realistic, but arcade games aren't about realism, they're about havin a good time. I think the term is 'NOS' ? No, not nitrous oxide you Need For Speed Underground cretins, although I like that too, 'New Old Stock' ! (Please correct me on any wrong use of acronym, I don't like them at the best of times, RSVP).
I thought I'd write a bit about Colin McRae's Dirt as well given that a lot of people are torn between which off-road extravaganza to spend their hard earned wedge on.
Dirt is also awesome. Totally realistic graphics and a wicked variety of off-road vehicles, including the trad rally beauts. Great handlin, good damage modelling, tuning and generally, bags of variety. Although, I'd say more like Quality Street than Roses. Incidently, why do they call it Quality Street ? Is that a real street, I don't think so. I prefer Roses anyway. (Wtf is Cracknel ? Anybody ?)
I love Dirt as much as Sega Rally, but it is a bit more serious, yet still quite arcadey (ie. user friendly & simple fun orientated), unlike the monstrously challenging prequels. Depends what your up for. I bought Dirt n think it's great, specially for the buggy racin, uphill massive truck racin, or whatever you wanna call it, n all that shizel. But it is quite taxin on the adrenalin, which is great if you're used to a nervous twitch or two. Although it is good dammit, talkin of which I need some more Dirt !!!
However, for now, I'm gonna chill with Sega Rally. It just has that polished solid kinda Sega arcade feelin. And it's well satisfying pullin a nice drift around a massive corner.
Sega Roses or Quality Dirt ? The choice is yours...

"The one to beat Colin McRae? I don't think so!" - 20 November 2007
There are some people who fondly remember the original Sega Rally, I was one of them. That is, until Codemasters came out with the Colin McRae Rally series, and I haven't looked back - until now.
I used to play the original (on the Saturn, firstly) and thought it was so realistic, but when I got hold of the first CMR, I realised how wrong I was! To illustrate this point, I went back to play the original Sega Rally and CMR a couple of days ago. And, Sega Rally just doesn't compare.
But, this is a new Sega Rally, and therefore all-singing and all-dancing, right? Wrong. Yes, it is very pretty; this is something Sega always get right. But, you get the same feeling as before with the previous Sega Rally(s) that you're actually driving a floating box - it just doesn't feel like a car.
Sega fanboys call this type of handling "unique" - everybody else would call it "shopping trolley". But, fair's fair, if you get on with it, then that's fine - a lot of people don't; it's just not very realistic.
If that were it then I'd say this was a slightly above-average game (after all, there's not many off-road racers for the 360). However, there's one frustratingly unforgiveable flaw with it concerning game modes.
The main "Career" (or whatever you they call it) part of the game has you taking part in 3 successive races on 3 different surfaces (the obligatory tarmac, gravel, and sandy-type stuff, etc). But, you can only choose one tyre type with which to undertake these races. Frustration soon sets in once you realise that you can only ever race 1 of the 3 races in the series properly - somewhat bizarre, to say the least.
All in all, despite it being one of the few 360 offroaders out there at present, I would still say avoid. If you're looking for similar, a far better choice is Colin McRae DIRT. If you've already got that, then save your money!
Without the stupid race selection it would have been 3 out of 5 (and I'm being generous), but sadly, as with so many Sega games in recent years, it looks very pretty, but just doesn't cut it.
Rather sad, really, I'd love to see Sega do better.

"One to watch" - 3 March 2007
This game looks set to be amazing. Although I think amazon may have the release date wrong by a long shot, as anywhere else I read about this game quoted Q3 2007. At least we can hope for the 30 March but it may be a tad optimistic.

"Finally a racing game with an emphasis on fun." - 31 January 2007
When this game is released it will blow us all away. I for one believe there isnt really a racing game avaliable for the 360 thats actually fun. Sega rally revo will correct this. Upon its release i feel confident that the 360 will finally have a racing game to smile about.

"Sega Rally Rocks - Return of the Arcade King!!!" - 4 October 2007
The king of the Arcade is finally back with an (at last!) worthy sequel. This has to be the most fun driving experiance on any system, and thats before you'v even fired up xbox live! Online this really comes into its own, Fast fun and Mad (like the original arcade game)!! Sega have struck gold with this game. And on top of that it looks brilliant with outstanding scenery!
Enjoy!!!
P.s for those wanting an in depth racer with settings galore, look elsewhere!

"rallying fun" - 29 September 2007
This is a rally game that is so much fun to play, with great gameplay and bright colourful visuals. This is very easy to learn and difficult to master as the AI cars in the game are fast, but the incentive to do well is that theres lots to unlock. The graphics are simply stunning, with hot air balloons waterfalls and even giraffes and elephants walking round on the safari courses! keep your eyes on the road though! The game can get lightning fast and the joy of this game is the fact that other cars make tyre marks in the dirt etc which slows you down - such attention to detail! if you enjoyed outrun you will enjoy this, as this is arcadey in design, and doesnt take itself too seriously. The online facility makes this a game you will play for ages as if and when you beat the pc, you can really up the ante with real human players, which works very well. perhaps this is less serious that dirt its big rival) but thats not a bad thing at all as this is much more instantly playable for those people like me that just want to race and have fun! reminds me of outrun with mud and much much better. Highly recommended fun for all ages.

"Old School Rally Game" - 29 September 2007
Now if your looking for a rally game where you spend most of the time trying to buy car parts and sup up your car then this isnt the game for you, this is basically the 2007 version of the original Sega Rally and i havnt stoped playing it, its great, turn on jump into a quick race, and boom it round some stunning tracks, also theres 2 player mode as well which is brill. I remember i loved the original and i love this version, 5 Stars Sega.

"THE Fun. It is why the word fun exists." - 1 October 2007
I remember hours (and many many pounds!!) sath in the arcades playing the original, so was very nervous about buying this game. I needn't have been. It's brilliant, and with several pads for races with mates, even more fun! The online is fun too. I haven't spent too long in single player so not collected much stuff, but can't wait for some top stuff to be available! Definately not a Forza, or even DiRT, this is a whole different type of game - it's called Fun.
Just like to end with my condolences to the McRae family. A heartfelt loss to all who knew or even admired the Great Colin McRae.
