Paris-Dakar Rally Critic Reviews

Great course diversity and a choice of four vehicle classes should motivate players to ignore the initial frustration and get to the good stuff.

All the licenses and potential that Paris-Dakar Rally has as an enjoyable rally experience, however, go to waste in a game that makes the event it portrays seem more boring and dull than it should be.

I’d commend the scope of the design, but you that it’s let down by the execution.

It takes some special effort to make a game so frustrating in all of its aspects that it seems to have been made by gaming sadists with the express intent to torture innocent gamers.

Regardless of how passionate you are about rally racing, or just the ASO-sponsored event itself, it's doubtful that you'll tolerate Acclaim's mockery of the sport.

It's a totally weak rally game through and through, with bad control, no real sense of rally driving (unless you like to feel completely out of control).
