Rally Racers Reviews

The game crashes everytime I beat what looks to be the final race. It's full of glitches and the controls are sluggish, but it is fun to play if you like a simple racing game. Not being able to finish the game is irritating enough to lose my recommendation. EDIT: I was able to beat the game on a different installation. It's a fun enough game, but wait until it's $5 or less, because that's about what it's worth.

Ok after 15 hours into this game, here is my short review: This game may remind you of mobile games like Beach Buggy Racing, and it is not a serious racing game. You can play it casually and it has a very nice and calm feel overall. There are different power-ups that you can collect along the race track which you can use to "hurt" your opponents. There are different pets you can unlock, that will give you small advantages during a race. This game has a high replayability factor as there are three criteria you must fulfill before you can play the next level. Those three criteria are always based on (1) your position after a race (2) number of stunts you performed (3) number of oranges you collected. Since you cannot fulfill all criteria in one race (you need to change your gameplay strategy), you will be playing each level at least more than once. Each track is slightly different from the other, in terms of the direction to take, etc., so it doesn't get very monotonous. You can upgrade your vehicles, and you will feel some differences after you upgrade. But overall, the physics in this game is quite minimal. Here are some CONS of the game: 1. The Leaderboard is buggy. There are levels where we performed really well but our names (or any other name for that matter) is not even there in the list. 2. All Droog challenge levels are buggy. There are times when I overtook Droog at an early stage or Droog gets stuck, but the game still goes on. 3. Three achievements "Orange Collector Steam Valley / Ashy Trail / Volcano Lane" are unlockable. Even though we have collected all the oranges in these three levels, the achievements remain unlocked. Because of this I guess, the final achievement "Game Complete" is also unlockable. So if you're an achievement hunter, don't buy this game. [EDIT: All achievement bugs are now fixed, you can unlock all achievements now] 4. After beating the final Droog Challenge (Droog's Revenge), the game will always crash. After you restart, this level will show that it hasn't been played yet, even though you have already unlocked the "Beat Droog at Droog's Revenge" achievement. [EDIT: This has also been fixed now] 5. Lack of instructions. It took us a long time to figure out what the unlocking criteria for a new vehicle were. It was just depicted by different trophies (gold, silver and bronze) but no mention of what you need to do or achieve to get those trophies. Overall, I think you should buy this game when it comes on a sale. Otherwise, wait for them to fix some of the bugs.
