2.0 out of 5 stars Not Good., February 23, 2003

This review is from: Rally Fusion: Race of Champions (Video Game)

I bought this game after viewing the screenshots and hearing of all the variety, hoping it would be good. I was pretty disapointed after I played the game for a good 10hrs.

Graphics: The background graphics themselves are pretty decent, in most places, but the cars look like crap. Even the shadows of the cars are jittery.
Controls: This has got to be the worst feature of the game. You cannot adjust the steering sensitivity which is way too loose. This would be okay if you could use the e-brake to swerve your car around a corner, but if you use the break you car slides forever and goes compleaty out of you control untill you smack a wall to stop. This makes to game very difficult to play.
Sound: Yes, the co-pilot cusses at you when you screw up, but it is all censored... so big deal. No in game music,which did not bother me too much though, but the cars all sound the same.
Realism: The cars get pretty busted up when you just bearly make a mistake, sometimes you hit a wall a certain way and you will automatically be "retired" and you loose the competition. (Sometimes not just one race but 4-5 combined). Doors fly open when you drive too hard and the co-pilot complanes, which is a nice touch.
Fun: Overall, this game was more frustrating then fun. And the fact that you have to "earn" your way to get to drive decent (official) rally cars makes this game a chore to play at first. The controls almost ruin the fun completely. However, since this game has a lot variation comparied to your average rally game (loop tracks and head-to-head competition as well as standard timed rally) it sometimes has an arcade feel to it which could be good or bad depending on what you want.

Overall, Id have to say this game is only worth renting. WRC and V-Rally 3 for the Ps2 are much better. The co-pilot in V-Rally 3 cussus too (though censored like this game) if you must have that feature. I hope this review helps since the other reviews on amazon sure did not help me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rally Fusion, March 30, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rally Fusion: Race of Champions (Video Game)

Rally Fusion is one of the best rally games I have ever played. I am a fan of rally games and this by far is the best. Here is a list of the pros and the cons. Pros- 1)Realistic damage to your car that effects your preformance. 2)Good looking and awsome cars. 3)Parts really fall off the car. (Ex- doors,spoilers,rear and front bumpers,ext.) 4)Good graphics 5)Many tracks to chose from, from all over the world 6)Many diffrent modes including quick race, relay, and Race Of Champions The only con is that there is only one truck. Isn't this rally? This game is the best!
