Death Rally Gameplay PC HD
& Small review
Death Rally doesn't explain much at first, but it doesn't need to. With each race, the ideas driving the experience reveal themselves. First of all, winning doesn't necessarily matter. Far more important is picking up money along the way (done by shooting other cars and hurtling over pick-ups), all of which allow you to upgrade your motor, kit it out with new weapons or even buy a new one if you find yourself particularly flush...
You'll tap on different upgrade areas like speed or handling, and hold down your finger to drain the main bar of energy into the smaller ones for each part of the car. Fill up one of those bars and you get the upgrade. So when the big bar runs out, you race again to give you more upgrade juice. It's the perfect carrot on a stick to race "just one more" time to get enough to top off the bar and have the upgrade take effect. It's both compelling and addicting: a deadly combination.
Really there's only one drawback to the game. Death Rally only has 5 tracks to race on, and while they do an admirable job of making the most of them by providing reverse setups and other unique rules, it still feels limited. It didn't take long for me to have a "been there, done that" feeling about where I was racing..
