Screamer Rally

aka: Bleifuss Rally, Speed Rally
Moby ID: 2973

DOS version

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.
