![]() ![]() ![]() A Rally game so crammed full of features it's like the development team at Evolution has been determined to make sure no-one wants another Rally game as long as they live. I'll have another bowl just to make sure.īefore this article descends into utter madness, let's address the task at hand. ![]() It may well be the greatest bowl of cereal you've had in your life, but you'd hardly be singing about it in the shower after.

If the excitement's not there for guys like us playing them year after year, the chances are all but the hardcore stalwarts will be clamouring for yet another rally title, not matter how good it is.
