![]() ![]() The online play is functional, though we hardly ever found anyone playing. Up to four players can play wirelessly via both ad hoc and infrastructure. With such a limited number of tracks, you end up repeating a lot of them again and again as you progress through each championship, though with the differences in speed between car classes, each step upward often results in a race that feels somewhat different.įinally, there is multiplayer. Each league also has several unlockable cars, many of which are often much faster than the default rides (though at the same time, often more challenging to handle). Then finally, you hit the masters league and drive rally classics, such as the Lancia Super Delta HF Integrale and Lancia Stratos. Then you move on to the modified league, with such cars as the VW Golf GTI and Grande Punto Rally. You start out with the premier league, which consists of standard rally rides, such as the Subaru WRX STi and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX. There are three championship tiers, each tied to the three car classes in the game. Apart from the standard quick race mode, there is a time trial mode, as well as a championship mode. Sega Rally Revo offers a few different modes of play. Granted, such wrecks will often lead to you losing some control of your car as well, but usually, you can get by without any other cars sneaking up and passing you. Simple taps from the side will send cars spinning like crazy. A simple rear bumper tap will send the bumped car flying into the air for a second, and most times, the rear section of an opponent's car will fall down on your car. All the cars in this game feel like tin cans on plastic wheels. Oh, sure, they'll try to cut you off when you steer around them, but that's not much of an issue because you can just bowl right into them and send their cars flying. The opponent drivers in Sega Rally Revo don't have much interest in keeping you from victory. Granted, no matter how much you slide around like butter on a skillet, you'll probably still end up winning most of your races. It's not impossible to keep a handle on the controls, but it requires more babysitting than it should to do so. The amount of precision needed to make accurate powerslides just isn't there with this control setup, and you'll find yourself sliding every which way far more than you'd prefer. Whether you try to use the D pad or the analog stick, cars have an innate tendency to slide out and spin you too far in whatever direction you're turning. Maintaining tight, accurate powerslides on the PSP, however, is something of an exercise in futility. From mud-bogged jungles and sandy beaches to the icy, snowy mountains, you'll encounter all manner of terrain as you drive. ![]() And there is a wide variety of surfaces on display. Powerslides are the name of the game, no matter the surface on which you might be driving. Cars are incapable of going off track, with invisible barriers causing vehicles to bounce off everything from trees to minor shrubs. The second you get on a track, you'll know that this is pure arcade driving. Your first impression of Sega Rally Revo is likely to be the one you'll keep all throughout your time with the game because for as much as things change in the game, they ultimately stay the same. If it weren't for the invisible barriers on every track, you might have had some issues keeping your car on the road. There is next to no challenge in this game, and what little there is has more to do with the off-kilter controls than anything else. ![]() Whereas the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions featured overly tough computer opponents that you couldn't bump off their racing lines to save your life, in the PSP game the opponents are total pushovers. In a sense, Revo on the PSP suffers from opposite issues of its console counterparts. Revo was also released for the PSP, and it attempts to do the same thing as the console games, albeit with far less enjoyable results. Sega Rally Revo for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 brought the years-old Sega Rally franchise into the current generation of consoles, crafting a fun, though sometimes overly challenging arcade rally racer around the series' trademark powerslide-happy gameplay. ![]()
