Initial Thoughts of Rush Rally...

You are here: Forum / Rush Rush Rally Racing / Initial Thoughts of Rush Rally...

Hi all. Im interested to hear what everyone's initial thoughts are of rush rally? Personally im loving. Ill write s detailed report of my first thlughts after I get some sleep

Ok here is what my initial thoughts are of Rush Rally.

The packaging is great. I was surprised how professional it all looks. This is the same for the videos, graphics and menus. Great work guys. The handling of the cars seem pretty good but there are times when I just cant seem to get it right - this should get better with practice. Oh the music is awesome. But the sound effects could do with some work. They just dont seem to match and the horn sounds very out of place.

My only major out cry is that there is no time trial/tim attack. I find this totally insane. Maybe I am jumping a head of myself as it could be unlockable but it should be in there at the start of the game. There isnt much single player replay value so a time trail would have been handy. It seems this game is aimed more towards multiplayer but I find this a bit ironic because it will be hard to get friends involved when there is no time trial mode for them to practice first on.

The above is my only problem. Ill add more when I get further through the game. Other than that you have made a very fine game guys. Welldone!! I look forward to the next one in the series .

Sorry id like to alter what I have said a little. I didnt mean to say that there is not much single replay value I was more meaning that there isnt anything else to do other than championship yet there seems to be 3 times more modes for multiplayer. As mentioned before I havent played through the game so there could be unlockable modes.


Been playing this game for 2 days straight!

Final video is awesome. What 3D package did you use for the in car? is the text credits animated in the 3D package or did you use a program like after effects to do this?

I'm glad to hear the positive response to the game. 

Im most curious to see what the game looks like using a VGA box on my CRT Monitor. Any of you out there have some thoughts about its looks using VGA?

Do all Cars(5) have the same control and feel? Llloks like the Yellow Car is not getting as much use looking at the Online Scores.....

When you run over by-standards, do they scream make a noise etc? Or the cows for that matter?

All cars handle differently. Yeah the people and cows make a noise!

VGA-mode gives a crispy look on LCD/Plasma TV's and ofcource VGA monitors. If you have a modern TV with VGA-input, I highly recommend to use a VGA-box.

Hey WBT or anyonelse for this matter,

Have you had any issues with RRRR moving to the left side playing it through VGA?

What is your set up like?

~LCD/TV with 15 pin VGA

~LCD/Monitor with 15 pin VGA

or

~CRT Computer Monitor with 15 pin VGA

Could this be the type of Dreamcast model that makes this happen the RRRR development or the displaying monitor issue ?

Loving it!

Pretty difficult but amazingly balanced & fair. I feel happy the whole time i'm playing

I'd put that on the box if we didn't already have one.

You can use it for your next game: "By the developers of the game that makes you feel happy the whole time you're playing"

Almost as catchy as "the sequel to game of the year 2009".

Finally got a chance to play my copy of RRRR DX today.

First impressions:

Really loving the drawings and animations on the menu, especially the Senile Team chicken logo. The free stickers are particularly cool (see pic)

.

The music is really good, if you had a Commodore Amiga in the 90's you'll know what to expect. The DX version comes with the soundtrack on a separate cd which I'm listening to at the moment (I've not got far enough yet to hear all the tracks in game!).

As for the game itself, I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a little tricky at first as its very difficult to complete a track on your first play, but once you've done a few laps round and know the course, it really comes into its own. The car control is quite simple, but allows you a great deal of control over your car by tapping break at the right time or sliding round the corner just a bit earlier. If you go off track slightly your car doesn't explode like in Micro Machines and this allows you to try some fun detours that can shave some time off your laps in a similar way to cutting the corners in Mario Circuit 1 in SMK. Of course you can't just forget the track completely as there are strategically placed pieces of scenery that will block you from straying too far.

There are lots of nice touches during the game, such as the humans, cows etc that you can smash through on the course, complete with comedy sound effects and the way the music goes muffled when you go through a tunnel.

On my first attempt, I managed to get to track 5 (on easy) before running out of credits, but only by the skin of my teeth. After inputting my code in the online high score I found I was a poor 170th!

I've not had a chance to play the multiplayer yet (I need to find more Dreamcast control pads) so I can't comment on that.

The one issue I do have is not to do with the game itself, but the case / packaging it came in. The case uses those little teeth that hold the cd in place (rather than a more solid cd holdy thing) and upon opening my new copy, both sets of teeth had completely disintegrated, leaving the cd's loose to get scratched up. The box itself isn't very sturdy and had a few cracks in. Not that this is a problem itself (and obviously not the fault of the developers) but a bit of a pain after getting the DX version with all the cool stuff.

Anyway, great work on the game guys, and if anyone is still sitting on the fence on whether to buy it, go ahead and get it you fools.

Thanks for the complements on the game 

Thank you indeed, but the damaged case is bad news. I'm definitely asking redspotgames about that.

Now that's really annoying indeed. I mean the crack in the case. Just write me a PM, we're getting things arraged.
