Dune has a soft spot for the Group B hellraisers, and has created a Group S of machines crafted by Dune which are inspired by the excess of Group B. ![]() Career mode is split into rally generations from the 1960s Group 2 era (think of Mini’s), to the 1980s Group B monsters (an Audi Quattro anyone) up to the 90s and Group A with the almighty Subaru Imprezza. Stepping foot into career is where your journey through the era of rallying takes place. Free roam itself is enough to keep you entertained for hours. Once you find a R-A-L-L-Y letters there, you unlock a free roam playground in Sardinia, then onto Japan, Sweden and Germany. Free roam is a brilliant inclusion.Įven better, free roam isn’t limited to Finland. When you find the letters, some are easy to acquire but others need a bit more planning of how to jump and reach them. There are various viewpoints to stop at and admire the view from and (in Tony Hawk’s style ) giant R-A-L-L-Y letters for you to collect. It’s not just the freedom of exploration that is so welcome, it’s the collectibles that are dotted around that push free roam from a casual aside to a serious bit of business. You can travel around the roads that form the free roam area, or just drive off into the forest without worrying about your car being automatically reset to the track. Being able to explore a massive expanse was a pleasure that I wasn’t expecting. For instance the opening to the career mode sees a giant Buddha impart words of wisdom to your car: Buddha, wise words are spoken.īefore you get to the main menu to choose your game mode though, you enter a free roam experience around some wonderful Finnish roads. Yes, this is a racing game, but it’s got a feel of something more than that. It’s great fun, and deserves to stand alone as a brilliant game, not just as a brilliant racing game.Ĭreator Dune Casu (known via his company Funselektor Labs) describes art of rally as a “stylized experience inspired by the golden era of rally”. ![]() I wasn’t prepared for just how good this indie rally game was going to be. I’ve talked about art of rally quite a lot since seeing it at EGX last year, and I was expecting good things.
