Screamer Rally
Description official descriptions
Screamer Rally is a follow-up to Screamer 2. Like its predecessor, it is a rally-style arcade racing game. The player can choose among four different rally cars (two front tractions and two 4x4), each with different parameters such as acceleration, braking, and weight. Handling, tire type and pressure, front and rear suspensions, and brakes can be customized in a garage. The game contains seven tracks located in different countries (such as China, Canada, Italy, etc.), pitting the player against five opponents. The tracks may contain obstacles and hazards such as holes on the roads, bumps, etc. The game also offers 3D acceleration support.

Not the best rally simulation ever
The Good
Not really much to put here. The only good thing about the game is the superb graphics that have 3D acceleration support. Without a 3D card then the graphics will not be displayed well. I found them jerky and slightly blurred when attempting to play this game on a computer without 3D support.
The Bad
As mentioned above, without 3D hardware support the game is almost unplayable because of the poor graphics. I also found that with the detail level too high the game would suddenly crash.
Also I found that on the higher levels in the championship mode the computer controlled cars were almost impossible to beat. This made the game quite unenjoyable at times, especially if you had to play the same course over and over again to beat the computer cars (you have to finish in the top 3 positions to progress to the next track).
The Bottom Line
Although not a bad game Screamer Rally could have been a lot better. Perhaps having slightly less intelligent computer controlled cars and more tracks would make the championship, and indeed the whole game, more enjoyable.
