Death Rally (Classic) reviews

What a classic! Countless hours I played in my childhood, I remember that I came in one of those CDMIX only know the most veterans. A true jewel of the hand of remedy that for his time looked pretty good despite being a 2D game (with some effects in 3D). The game puts us in the skin of a new runner (select name and face) that goes into the world of races to death to go up positions in the rankickg to reach the first place, where we will run against the Adversary, our last opponent before D And proclaim the great winner of the tournament and capture our name in the Hall of Fame. In spite of the years, and the graphics something outdated for the standard of today, the game has aged quite well, the menus are simple and very intuitive, there are no more configuration options than the controls and the volume of sound/music. The gameplay is as good as it was in the 90, even the remake of a few years ago knew how to capture this aspect so exquisite, in this title the control is precise and subtle, it is nice to cut positions to faster enemies in closed curves and complicated segments You get used to it with a certain ease. Today you could consider an indie, where gameplay and fun prevails over the graphics. In Addition, it is remedy

Despite being an ancient game of the time MS-DOS (although this version is ready for Windows and does not pull DOSBOX), the truth is that this simple arcade racing quite hooked. The objective of the game is to climb positions in the ranking of pilots, based on winning races, and to reach the first position to then win a final race against The Adversary. The most important thing about this part is money management, which is spent on car repairs and engine upgrades, wheels and armor, as well as aid for the next race (spikes, turbo, mines or sabotage). The races are also quite simple, you can win arriving first or destroying all opponents, which sometimes is faster but is also more risky. The most interesting Thing about the game is to control that we do not receive much damage during the race, because it may be the case that even winning, lose money for repair costs, especially with the most advanced cars that are also more expensive To repair. So going for all is not always the best option. The biggest drawback is the detection of collisions, because by rubbing a bit a wall the car stops dry or even bounces backwards, which can become extremely annoying sometimes. In Addition, Duke Nukem appears as rival to beat:) In Short, a classic that set the tone to follow in the career mode of many subsequent games, and is still very enjoyable to this day.
