Xpand Rally

This game is very much a product of its time, the first signs, when you boot it up, being no widescreen support and jittery physics which are assume are caused by higher frame rate. Considering the game is 2 decades old, it didn't age that bad, the car damage model is good, it even has a driver injury indicator, something I have never seen in any other racing game, though it's mostly a gimmick that hardly works unless the driver dies. The career is repetitive and without a little cheat can get quite grindy, having to repeat races to be able to afford upgrads and/or new cars. Sure, the game might be eurojank but for 50 cents it's alright.

Holds up incredibly for its age, I don't normally play racing games but I just keep coming back. The campaign is much longer than you would expect from its age and much more varied than you would expect from its map quantity. Just difficult enough to have me complaining but still fun enough to come back to.

same good old game

this is supreizingly good for the £1.22 i bought it for for the rally bundle it is worth the game its fun and if you want to get a controller working like the new steam controllers i recoment the layout with menu controls but the rally and the actual racing is fun the only thing i have to say is crashing kills your chances of wining but worth the money if you can get it on sale the only proformance issue i get is the screen sometimes tears but that is the only problem i have

This game is not for noobs. The driving physics are unusual, so the learning curve is steep. There are no assists. (there is a Sat Nav minimap upgrade that you have to buy for each car) One medium to large mistake, easy to make at high speed, means you have to restart an up to 6 min race. Once you do get the hang of it, the drifting is smooth and satisfying when excecuted right, braking is responsive even when unupgraded, and the sense of speed is sweet. A tiny 100bhp compact feels like a rocket. Though, driving/transitioning onto tarmac can be fairly awkward. Upgrading. The upgrading is pretty detailed and granular, it has held up to many modern titles. I personally really like it. The one individual thing that I don't like about it is that there are no engine swaps. Overall, the game is pretty good. There are much better and much worse games out there. For the price paid ($1.04USD for the bundle after tax) I do heavily recommend it. Like it? You got 2 enjoyable games for a dollar. Don't like it? It was only a dollar.
