If you’ve played Funselektor’s other car game, Absolute Drift, you’ll be slightly familiar with how it handles. I think that’s what caught me out, thinking it’s a simple game with simple visuals. Not that that’s a backhanded compliment, mind, it just doesn’t look like a serious game. Winging It On A Prayerīehind its cute and colourful visuals, art of rally is a surprisingly comprehensive racing game. Cars can, and will, go very fast around lovingly rendered tracks. What this means, in elaborate, mystical terms is that there are no limits. As a result, this “What If?” premise is presented as alternate history, with cars grouping all the way up to A and S class. Here in videogame land, however, we’re not bound by the laws of death and injury. Smashing round a carefully designed track in a Formula One car is one thing, whereas it’s a bit riskier against uneven, bumpy courses. Following crashes and tragic accidents, the group was deemed far too unsafe for the sport. In the real world, Group B cars have been banned since the late ’80s. Even a Buddha-like figure gets involved, notifying you of what’s what in a dream-like manner. Not in the Driver: San Francisco coma dream sense, but a narrative device to get players invested.Īs far as framing devices go, it’s surprisingly clever. It has a plot device, if you want to get technical. Here’s something I didn’t expect to say about art of rally: it has a story. Does it hold up against the likes of the Dirt and WRC series’, and more importantly, will old consoles run it properly? Buckle up and we’ll find out. art of rally (yes, it is all lower case) is one such treat, complete with funky stylings to boot. So when a new game comes out, that’s a striking mix of those two aspects, I am on board. The high speed on jumpy straights to sudden hairpins right next to your nan’s cottage, that kind of thing. It’s the in-between I like: the precision in throwing finely tuned cars around courses shaped by the elements and a few flags. It’s not as serious as Formula One, yet it’s not as primitive as banger racing. And now, shin callouses lumpy and healed, art of rally cracks out the steel capped boots.ĭespite not following the motorsport, I actually quite like rally. Cuphead lured me in and kicked me in the shins. Fool me several times and, well, still shame on you, you crafty sod. The Finger Guns review:įool me once, cute looking game, shame on you.
