There are achievements for finding all the collectibles in free roam (my personal favorite achievements in the game). There’s an achievement for winning a race on the hardest difficulty, a fun and challenging achievement. There are the usual achievements, such as winning every race and unlocking every livery for your cars. But, the achievements make you play much much more. It sort of overstayed its welcome for maybe four or so rallies, but that wasn’t too bad. Just when the game was getting really boring, it wrapped up. It was repetitive, but the different cars and classes kept it just fresh enough to push through. Sure I was bored by the end of Class S, but it was not that bad. That really changed my opinion of this game. I decided to get every achievement in this game.

Except for one more, tiny, problem… And that is the achievement list. I think this game truly shines when it opens up to the free roam.Īnd that’s about it for The Art of Rally. I would love to see some sort of open-world game in this style. It’s a whole lot of fun and honestly the best part of the game. Each of the countries is opened up for you to explore at your leisure. Which, surprisingly, unlocks my favorite part of the game: the free roam. By the end of Class S, I was begging for the campaign to be over. Doing 221 races on five different courses is a joy at first, but quickly gets repetitive. So it feels more like five different courses with varying lengths. The game says that there are 60 different courses, but each course for a single country all feel exactly the same. Even those these countries all have different tracks, they all basically boil down to the same course. That’s where this game starts to fall apart. But, unfortunately, there isn’t much variation across these rallies.

There are multiple rallies across six different classes. Which is great because there is a ton to do in this game. I loved how the cars felt and it’s honestly one of the better feeling rally car games. It’s obvious that a lot went into the gameplay of this game. The control differently on ice and gravel than they do on tarmac. Rear-wheel drive cars handle exactly like rear-wheel drive cars and all-wheel drive cars control completely different. The cars all feel really tight and control wonderfully. But, luckily for us, the controls are just as good as the visuals. It truly shows that you can make wonderful graphics with really simplistic designs.īut all of that means nothing if the game isn’t fun. They are brightly colored and are truly striking. The courses and the cars are all gorgeous. The game is low polygons and simple, cartoon-esque graphics. The most striking feature of The Art of Rally is its visuals.

So how does the game live up to this dream scenario? Let’s check out The Art of Rally. The game is set in a world where rally was able to evolve to a Group A or even a Group S. So, what would rally look like today if Group B was never banned? That’s precisely what The Art of Rally is about. The class was banned and has never came back to this day. This was what ended up shutting Group B down. They would stand on the jumps and try to touch the cars as they literally flew by. Back then, fans would stand on the track and see how close they could stand next to the cars as they drove by at 150 miles per hour. The fans were somehow more at risk than the drivers. But surprisingly, that wasn’t the death knell for Group B, it was the fans. One second off on a turn or one unnoticed rock in the road and it was all over.

The cars were so fast and dangerous, the drivers were all one millisecond away from death. But… It turned out to be a fatal mixture. The cars were extremely fast and super light. Of course, like any rally fan, I love Group B rally cars and would love to even see one in real life.įor those of you that don’t know, Group B was like the wild west of rally car racing. It has always fascinated me how fast these extremely talented drivers can push these vehicles. I love rally cars and have always dreamed of racing one some day. One of my all-time favorite sports though is rally.
