DOS version

Excellent recreation of the RAC British Rally

The Good
The amount of detail in this game is outstanding and for 1996 the graphics are excellent. There are 26 tracks all recreated from real life. With this many tracks and many different conditions to race in there were many options available which meant you didn't have to do the same race twice. Many game modes are available (arcade, championship, time trial etc) There are six cars and each have their own different handling abilities which also adds depth to the game.

The Bad
Not much wrong with this one at all. One minor gripe would be the border at the edge of each track. Unlike games later in the series in this one who can only race on the actual track. So if you come up to a corner too fast, you cannot overun onto the grass but usually end up hitting the border and turning over.

The Bottom Line
Overall this is an excellent rally simulation and the graphics and detail are outstanding considering the game came out in the mid-90s.
