Cube Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I just checked V-Rally 3D on my (£20) phone. It doesn't look much worse than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 At the moment it looks like I'll be sticking to the original Colin McRae Rally on PS1 (that game is quality ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktendo Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Colour me angry. Colour me confused. Colour me disappointed. Big thumbs down Codemasters, unless of course those are PSP shots (unlikely in NOM) and the Wii version is still under wraps. In which case... Colour me excited.

Noku Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 This isn't Codemasters. They sourced this one (as well as F1 2009) out to Sumo Digital. Big meh. But as long as the content's the same (and I'm thinking the Wii'll get two extra tracks or something, can't remember where I read that though) and it looks better in-game, I'm sold. Need decent racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) haha why would they release this trailer! And for comparison... And that's being unfair to B.A.R. which is one truely awesome game!! Edited June 23, 2009 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Watched these this morning. Actually looks quite good in motion, if a little sedate. Interested to see the control options. Hopefully, no motion control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, no motion control. I read on IGN UK that the Formula 1 game on the Wii will use the classic controller with the Analogue L and R buttons being used for acceleration and brakes. Hopefully, they will used this control scheme on this game too. Maybe, maybe even Gamecube pad support... one can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 ..hmm.. am I the only one hoping for Wii Wheel support for this game? The way I see it, there are plenty of racing games from previous generations that can be played in a traditional way so I would personally like them to make it so that I can tilt my way to victory through the dirt If it was implemented well and was responsive, this game could certainly be worth looking into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Art style is this game's main problem. The textures are of high enough resolution, the cars look fine, and the graphics are clean, it's just the art style stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostmario Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) It doesn't look that bad. We don't exactly have a lot of rally games on the Wii. No online. boooo! Edited August 15, 2009 by lostmario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) GamesRadar Review + Lots of cars and tracks + Wii Wheel Support + Smooth Framerate - Sorely lacking in nice things to look at - Handling is too floaty - Doesn't move fast enough The screens don't look pretty I reckon I'll be giving this one a miss.. I still have the original Colin McRae Rally to finish off and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 not even begun anyway so I'll stick with those Edited September 11, 2009 by nekunando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 by being a smart arse you can play Colin Mcrae 1&2 (ps1) on wii - probably both better than this and both have GC controller support. Nice. Bit of a shame that this ain't a top game as there is a gap in the market on wii and the other versions are apparenty brilliant. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I'm more than happy to play them on my Playstation ..and I agree, there is a big gap in the market for this type of game but I would really like that void to be filled with Sega Rally : peace: Edited September 11, 2009 by nekunando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumo73 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I don't know why, but I've never associated the Codemasters brand with quality. When Codemasters first started back in the 80's they used to write how great the game was on the back of the box. After a while people stopped reading the back of the box. I guess my view of the company is still base a little on that which I know sounds silly now. Also I think the company has been trying to reach out to a wider audience (more North American base) and from what I've heard about Colin McRae: DiRT 2 that seems to be the case as well.

Nolan Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Outside of Racing, Codemasters games can be hit or miss as to whether people like them. Racing has always been quality at which point it's just whether or not you like arcade racers with a bit of sim thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I've been playing Sega Rally a little bit lately on my brother's PS3 and I'm a little jealous to be honest I would love Sega Rally to come out on the Wii.. but even so, seeing it in glorious HD compared to something like Colin McRae: DiRT 2 on the Wii I do sometimes wish Nintendo's console was capable of such things, as much as I love it..

Nicktendo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Wow. What an average game... :/ Everything about it is purely average, gameplay, handling & controls (I'm using classic controller), graphics. It's not BAD, it's just blatantly obvious that very, very little effort has gone into it. I'd say get it though if you NEED a racer on the Wii though, because out of everything the console has to offer that's not 'excite...' or 'mario kart' this is the best. On another note: Excitebots is pure awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 This is a disappointment. I haven't played a rally game since Collin MCRae 2 on the PC back then and I was looking forward to some good rally game, but this seems not to be a good option.

Ganepark32 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Received this earlier today and took it for a spin and so far, I'd have to agree with Nicktendo. It's very average. Nothing particularly great about it and everything does stink of being handed off to an outside developer who've been given little time to make a decent product. I came away from playing it thinking 'R:Racing Evolution on the Gamecube is a better game than this in every aspect' and it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
