    Perhaps the best racing game (for sure the best rally-racing title) I’ve played all year.

    Climax has created a game which is not only addictive and playable, but keeps you constantly cooing over its lovingly crafted details that so many other rally games leave by the trackside.

    For all the greatness though, I still walked away from Rally Fusion feeling like something just wasn’t right and it bothers me that I just couldn’t place my finger on it.

    It's lenient, arcade-like, and generally friendly as rally games go. Which means two things: It's easier to come to grips with, but as a result, it's a shallower play. [Jan 2003, p.36]

    Another strong aspect of the game is the realistic weather effects that will have a huge impact on your race.

    A middle-of-the-road rally game.

    I had a hard time pulling myself away from the RoC mode, even though my instincts were telling me I was tired of playing it. It has that kind of affect on you, even though it's only a slightly above average race engine.

It has nice graphics, varied courses, pretty good car damage and up to 4 players can play by taking turns. More games should have this option! It's not too fast though and the controls are more racing than rally. I would easily recommend this to anyone who like racing games.… Expand

    A good rally racing game with okay physics and nice graphics. The career mode sadly lacks that "killer hook" to keep you playing.
