Richard Burns Rally (2004) - Every PC Rally Game
0Richard Burns Rally by Warthog / SCi, 2004.
Warthog's second rally game (after Rally Championship Xtreme) was, to put it mildly, one of the best rally games of all time (if not the best, in many people's eyes).
To best show how realistic this game is, watch a video of a Colin McRae Rally game right after it, it's night and day! Richard Burns Rally shows how dangerous and difficult rallying can be, with an incredible physics system and car damage like no other game (damage a radiator, overheat, retire from rally, etc).
It's not perfect; the graphics, though good, can look a little bland, there's no night-time stages and the sound is a bit rough and ready. But the physics were so good that people still make mods and updates to bring this game up-to-date, and few racing games boast that level of constant modification (I can only think of Grand Prix Legends and rFactor off the top of my head).
My single favourite moment of this game occurs in the Rally School, where, after numerous tests and trials, Richard Burns himself (RIP) takes you on a passenger ride through a stage. The way the car moved and handled you just know a very skilled driver is in control! It put everything I'd done so far to shame!
