Top Notch Racing Excitement!
The Upside... The physics of the drive, matched with the game's excellent graphics gives Rally Masters: Michelin Race of Champions a real world feel that is a notch above most other racing games. You might be driving through snow, ice, fog, rain, or mud during the day, or at night. While racing, your car will reflect whatever hits it takes. Damage can be purely ornamental, helping to make the game look even more real, or with the flick of a switch, coming too close to the competition can actually take you out of the race. Dynamic environment mapping means cars accumulate dirt, make sparks, smoke when they are in trouble and leave skid marks. Tracks are a constant twisting, turning, car bouncing challenge that can change from dirt to paved and back again. Views can change just as radically, from distant to an in the car point of view that can twist your guts with its almost absolute realism. The Downside... The sound effects are sometimes wimpy and control of the vehicles is a little iffy at times, but most of that will be forgotten as you focus on the tough, but exciting job of mastering the car and tackling the tracks. The Bottom Line... There are more than twenty-two licensed rally cars, including models from Subaru, Skoda, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault and Lancia. More than fifty different tracks from around the world help to vary the racing experience and keep the game interesting. Thirty world-class drivers are represented in Michelin Rally Masters. There are five difficulty levels and three different modes of play. Rules are real world. The game supports force feedback and using that kind of wheel was the funnest way that I found to play the game. You can race as one of the masters, or as a player new to the circuit in one of four championship modes. There are even time attack competitions that will have you trying to cut corners to shave every split second off record times. Michelin Rally Masters combines the best of simulation and arcade to produce a racing experience that is as fun as it is exciting. This one is a must have for all racing fans.
