    While Gravel has issues like strange collisions, cars literally merging into each other and some issues with shadows, there is a lot to say about it. There's a wide variety of racing types, tracks and cars to use. Almost everything is fast paced and entertaining and simply gratifying. Simply put, Gravel is a very good arcade style racing game and Milestone's best game yet.

    If you’re even a casual racing fan as I am, Gravel is absolutely worth your time.

    It may have the blandest visuals on the block and its multiplayer offerings are currently in shambles, but Gravel is still brimming with attitude and excellence. No-frills racing to the extreme, Gravel is a nostalgic road trip that excites, thrills and charms when its given a chance to rev its engine.

    Gravel is a great racing experience for veterans and newcomers alike, with so many tracks and cars to unlock this game will keep you busy for a while. However being unable to find an online match has me worried that the replay value of this game isn't very good after you've played through the meat of the single-player game.

    With its simple gameplay, Gravel can win the hearts of all fans of arcade driving. However, its proposal is exhausted after a few hours when the main game mode "Off-Road Masters" ends due to the lack of enough unlocks to keep the game alive.

    Despite one or two cruel difficulty spikes, Gravel is one of the better examples of off-road racing in a while. Its mix of semi-realism and over-the-top arcade style makes for some exciting races, while its progression system keeps it accessible to almost anyone.

    Gravel wants to be the spiritual successor of Screamer, a production of the early 90s still remembered with affection for the immediacy of the gaming system. Exactly like its illustrious predecessor, Gravel is a game that is quick to understand, yet challenging to master.

    Gravel is a very special Milestone title. Thanks to a mix of arcade and simulation, it offers hours and hours of fun.

    Gravel is welcome a return to Milestone's roots: a fun, engaging and exhilarating racing arcade, along the lines of Dirt 2 and V-Rally. The driving model is accessible but not trivial, the gameplay is challenging without being frustrating, some locations are simply unforgettable and the multiplayer has a lot of potential. Green light.

    Milestone's Gravel rocks. A solid arcade driving game which features mainly off-road races with a convincing sense of speed and a good variety of competitions, vehicles and tracks. Too bad for the thin longevity of its campaign and the complete lack of alternative single-player modes, which greatly reduce Gravel's specific weight.

    This game had a chance to refresh the stale arcade racing genre but it lacks depth, the career is just a sequence of senseless races withoutThis game had a chance to refresh the stale arcade racing genre but it lacks depth, the career is just a sequence of senseless races without any kind of progression, the vehicle physics is "floaty", buggy and frustrating to control and the tracks are mostly plain highways going trough boring environments.
    Multiplayer didn't work at all and that's one of the biggest reason for such a low score.
    4 is a poor result but this game doesn't feel AAA except for the menu and some parts of the presentation.
    I honestly don't see any reason to buy this game full price, but for the amount of time you will need to go trough the mildly boring campaign 10-15 bucks may be the right price to pick it up if you are really desperate to have a cheap Sega Rally to waste a week end on.    … Full Review »

    Its not very deep, but its a nice break from the other racing titles to relax and not take
    things so seriously. Cars, tracks, weather conditions, damage, shortcuts, jumps, What could you ask for?
