Mobil 1 Rally Championship

The Good
I liked everything about the game. The graphics for the game are outstanding and you get a good variety of tracks to race on (36 courses in all) The cars also look very realistic as they have been accurately modelled using the real life vehicles. Also the crashes in the game are very realistic. If you hit a tree your bonnet will get crumpled, if you constantly hit objects your windscreen will crack or if you set the suspension too low on a gravel track you run the risk of damaging it.

The Bad
The high system requirements. The recommended system is a Pentium III 500MHz! This means that some people will not be able to play the game because the requirements are so high. Apart from that the only problem I have is the fact that the in game music has a tendancy to turn itself off which means you have to turn it back on each time you start the game. It just seems a bit odd that such an advanced game should have such a bizzare little problem. Sometimes the track lengths can be a bit extreme. Some of the courses are very long and some people may not be able to sit in front of their computer for 20 minutes doing the same track without getting bored.

The Bottom Line
Overall the game is an excellent simulation with good graphics and overall design but the high system requirements and the sheer length of some of the tracks let it down a bit.
