Xpand Rally Xtreme reviews

Had once played a Demo to a Rally Game about 10 Years ago, where you could only pick out 2 Cars and only had a 7min Track. This Demo had been FUN for me WEEK! The Driving Behaviour was just so refreshing alongside the other Racing Games I had always played at the time. There was something like That between Arcade and proper Rally. So, roughly as with Bleifuss Off Road, it's only slightly easier to control. Did I know only the Name of the Game! Oh, I should write something about the Game ... Joa, the Game here is terrible. Just not really rally feeling and driving the Cars are like on Rails. The Tracks I had seen were also all not really Off Road/Rally. Again and again real Streets with Haeusers and such a Nonsense. I do not know... There was simply no Rally feeling Where the Cars in particular contributed. In Addition, there is no real Cockpit view here. Always completely different from Car to Car and the Inner Workings of the Cars is not an Inner Life but rather the dead. No Ads move in it! The Only Plus Point Is that a Driver always says when a Curve is coming. Just like with ner Rally. Btw: Arcade and Simulations Setting were almost identical.

Frankly speaking, I do not even know how after a relatively usable and fun GTI Racing Techland managed to give out such. One thing with such physics to do an arcade race, and quite another-to try to build a serious rally simulator. The Nature of pavement does not change the behavior of the car, the machine is equally going to skid that on the gravel, that on dry asphalt. The Difference between arcade and "advanced" modes is only that the arcade machine behaves like an iron on the ice, while in the "advanced" mode is just a clumsy iron. Model damages cardboard, at the first hit of the cars fly away doors and break all the glass, but the behavior of cars on the road is not affected. Unlike the same GTI Racing in the game there are no real car brands and have to ride the fictional developers models that are slightly different from each other. There is no Music during the race, but there are useless comments of the Navigator, which informs about a new turn a few meters from that turning. Even the graphics have managed to worsen, the developers for some reason added a bunch of Blom, making a picture of soap and Fuzzy, and the game for some unknown reasons does not support widescreen resolutions through the options of the game, although again, in GTI Racing all perfectly was supported without shamanism with the CONFIG. In General, I can not recommend this game, when in the world there are much more decent rally simulators, even older than Xpand Rally Xtreme. Especially as in the Russian region for some unknown reasons it costs as much as 800 rubles without discounts, which is not much less recent DiRT Rally, although the quality of it is infinitely far from the creation of Codemasters.
