Rocket Car Rally (2018) - Every PC Rally Game
Rocket Car Rally by Marcin Boho/BODROID, 2018.
I wasn't sure if I'd include this free Microsoft Store game as a rally game or a futuristic racing game, but as it's very rally, apart from the odd rocket-on-wheels car, I thought it qualifies here, just about!
In short: this is a tiny arcade rally game featuring several stages, two of which are in a dusty Australian style landscape, whilst the third is a snow-lined tarmac road... with no corners! And it still sounds like gravel! Your car though, is supposed to be a rocket on wheels...
However tis all feels very unfinished. The car auto accelerates when you tap accelerate, but tap the brake key and it'll slow then race backwards, with you invariably getting stuck on the scenery. Plus the supposed rocket car doesn't even have flames coming out of it! The Microsoft Store description says "speeds over 500 kilometres per hour", but the car doesn't exceed 120.3 mph (around 194kph). Since recording this I found that spacebar acts as a handbrake, but that makes it even harder to control the car though! :-D
There's not a lot to do here, just beat the computer, which is easily done. After the perfectly-straight-but-a-little-bumpy snow stage, it's back to the first stage again.
The co-driver speech is a little odd too, as it says things like "turn left at the next straight". The music rock track is okay, but a bit repetitive and loud!
I'd avoid this one, I think.
