    Fundamentally, art of rally on Xbox is a more than competent rally game that proves you don’t need a fully licensed game to make an interesting arcade racer. Initially players will be sold on the unique and gorgeous art style, but it is here where the issues reside. The design suffers as a result of porting the game to Xbox consoles with problems we shouldn’t be seeing on this new flagship console.

    With art of rally, Funselektor signs a magnificent love letter to the world of rallying by offering a demanding title that is as complete as it is pleasant. With its six destinations and around fifty cars with unique behaviors, the game simply takes you on a journey through the world and through the ages. Unfortunately, the title never harnesses the power of Microsoft's next-gen console. If you have a powerful PC on hand, then we advise you to get the game on this platform.

    I love the simplistic graphics. The physics/gameplay feels amazing. Soundtrack is stellar. The game is just FUN to play! Rally racing is typically the more stressful of motorsports and this game is just simply relaxing by design. Sure you can grind leaderboards and flex all you want but this game from top to bottom just has a little bit of everything to keep me entertained.

    Edit: Increased the score from 8 to 9. This is the first racing game in a long long time where I finished all of the career mode races. While the tracks were repetitive, it's hard to remember them as there are so many variations of the tracks. I absolutely love the way you progress per year in career mode. What a charming idea! It kept me glued to the game!

    Pros: Gameplay, physics, graphics and soundtrack are all great!

    Cons: No pace notes/callouts for the purists. The humanoid figures crowding the corners can get annoying.    … Full Review »

    From the creative team that brought you Absolute Drift, this racer attempts to make a unique blend of rally racing with an "animated" art feel from a bird's eye perspective. Unfortunately, I think this mix takes away from the rally racing experience. Personally, I enjoy rally racing for its grit and sense of danger which I feel was non-existent. It sort of reminded me of playing with my TYCO slot car sets back in the day; and that's not completely a bad thing. It's quite challenging (and somewhat frustrating) to get the balance of gas and brake when making your turns. It becomes even more difficult when you add in the variation of terrain, weather conditions and time of day. There are a wide variety of locations and tracks, and the vehicles available are replicas of real-world cars that are easily recognizable. With the focus on the visual, it seems that less time was spent on the sound effects. Most of the cars sound like my neighbor's leaf blower.
    Once you finish the career and free roam, there doesn't seem much to keep you coming back for more. The only online component are daily and weekly challenges and it's unclear if there will be any future modes or expansion packs in the works.    … Full Review »
