Pros

Portable Rally Racing.
Sega Rally is the grandfather of all rally games.

Cons

Physics can be cartoonish at times.
Not incredibly deep.

Platform Tested: Xbox 360
Genre: Racing

ESRB: E

Sega Rally started the whole arcade rally car racing genre back in 1995. This year's Sega Rally Revo for Xbox 360 is everything you'd expect from the franchise. In this version, you'll find lots of licensed cars and a new feature, surface conditions, whichchanges the surfaces over the course of the race. It's not a hardcore rally SIM like the Colin McRae series, but in a way, it's even more fun! Of course, the Xbox 360 version is prettier with more bells and whistles, but the PSP version is perfect for a long commute on public transit. On both systems, Sega Rally is a grin-inducing ride for the arcade racing fan.
