I Agree - Its Worthless [Posted on 2008-01-08]
I also have a PC with more than the necessary hardware requirements, and the game simply doesn't work properly. I was unable to access all the menus, couldn't access the cars, couldn't choose the racing modes, and the controller would fail to function properly even after adjusting all the settings. I suggest looking at other options.

One Of My Favorite Games Of 2007 [Posted on 2008-01-14]
As a long time fan of Sega Rally, even enjoying the import Sega Rally 2006 for what it was. I was skeptical at first hearing that Revo would be developed by a team outside of Sega Japan. Well after playing the PC demo for the first time back in October. I was so happy that the gameplay reminded me of the momentum based, power sliding original arcade game. That I could not wait for the final release. Sure Sega Rally is as basic as games come, not offering up many features or much realism. Although what you do get is a game that is fun every time you play it.

That to me is far more worth the purchase price than a game with hundreds of unlockables, customizable options, and other extra crap that keeps you busy but has nothing to do with playing the actual game. I don't need fluff. I want a game that is fun and easy to get into at anytime that also challenges me, and Sega Rally Revo is it. Yeah the AI can be questionable at times, but the challenge never feels so overwhelming that you don't want to play.

The handling is perfect with the XBOX 360 controller. Also I'm running the game on Vista Ultimate 64bit with 2GB of ram and it plays flawlessly with all of the settings on high. The game did freeze on me once when I paused, but afterwards I updated my video drivers and downloaded the SR Revo Patch and all was perfect again. So I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys racing games. Its fun, fast(yes even in 30fps), and the graphics are beautiful.

So what if it doesn't have damage models, has invisible borders stopping you from leaving the track, and the cars don't handle as realistically as the ones in the real world. Its a video game for goodness sakes. Stop taking a hobby thats supposed to be fun so darn seriously.

Didn't work! [Posted on 2008-02-10]
I tried installing this game on my computer, and it would only show me the intro video segment, and the launcher would not work. I tried the suggested uninstall and reinstall, and still it would not launch. Lame. It looked nice from the video intro and the effects it went through while installing looked like fun (I saw 7 arctic tracks go by, and some fog features)- too bad I never got to see them for real!
And I do have a brand new computer with the expensive 8600 video card, so i know my system should be able to handle it.

Sega Rally is back... but it is not Hardware friendly [Posted on 2008-03-03]
This is a really fun racing game, nice tracks, great cars, nice difficulty level, you wont master it right away, but it is not impossible either... I am in the level of at least trying to be 3rd position whenever possible, I did not have any technical problems to get it to work, but It requires a very good video card at least, the recommended GF 7900 or Ati bigger than 1600 is true, My embedded Radeon 1250 and 2 GB total DDR2 6400 and x2 4200 is not enough to run it properly, even with lates drivers still slows down some times, but no way I am giving up on the game, But it made me realize I need a real video card. As any racing game, at least a nice gamepad is required, pressure sensitive triger for accel is better and analog stick for steering. 3 course tourneys, single races, etc, Imprezas, Evo, Stratos and many others, just remember upgrade your PC if needed or you will be like me... wishing your game looked like the one in the pictures...

This is really the new upgraded Sega Rally [Posted on 2008-09-12]
This game is really great. All the joy of Sega Rally with upgraded graphics, environments and overall effects(water splashes, mud, snow, etc). I like all types of racing games and for Sure Sega Rally Revo earns recognition for what it is. There is no history mode or car mod like in NFS or other racers, in stead you get a lot of Tournaments in different categories, win points in the tournaments and unlock more tracks and car categories, also has online play and single race modes. The tracks are really good, snow, tropical, canyon, etc, all very detailed and fun, the cars look really nice and handle like a true Arcade Rally game. You can spend hours playing to improve your tournament scores, enjoying every moment. Highly recommended.
It is basically a port of the 360 version, and as most racing games a controller pad (analog stick and pressure sensitive trigger) or wheel should be used.
I got an Athlon X2 4200, 2 GB DDR2, Radeon 3650 512 DDR3, and I am able to use it at full settings with 2x antialiasing, playable all the time.
