Rush Rush Rally Racing Dreamcast: Seeking Opinions

Post by Shelcoof »

Hey Guys

So I just discovered this game recently via videos and a few reviews online and I'm on the fence on whether or not to pick it up.

The gameplay so far looks very fun and interesting. I think I'd dig a game like this for few hours at least. For some reason I'm totally in love with the presentation of the game and the art work. Watching the footage really brings me back to the golden age of the 16-bit era.

I've read a lot of mixed opinions online. Controls and difficulty was a common gripe that a lot of reviewers had with the game. From the looks of things it seems like a game that demands practice... which isn't a bad thing for me but the unforgiving nature of the game might.

I think the biggest issue I have is the price. It is 15 Euros on redspotsgame website but shipping internationally is 8.30 Euros that translates to roughly 35$ Canadian... which is a bit steep for game like this. I believe there are only 10 tracks in single player mode and maybe three multiplayer modes? I can't remember. I don't know how much I'd replay this but I'm pretty sure its not going to be enough to justify spending 35$+ Canadian. Or maybe once I get my hands on it it might :)

Was wondering what your thoughts are on this game and if its worth picking up?

Thanks guys

I quite enjoy this game. I'm currently trying to beat it on hard, but I do quite enjoy this one a lot. The artwork and music are quite nice, and everything fits well. Plus you can get different and sometimes really random countdowns for each race. I'd say if you like top down racers, this is a pretty good buy. I quite enjoy it, and it may not have a lot to it, but it still is quite fun.

Just watching the videos... it looks hell of fun. 10 tracks on single player I'm somewhat okay with its just... trying to figure out if its worth the price. If it was a bit cheaper I'd have no problem diving in but because I'm unsure how well it plays... still on the fence about it.

Just basing my purchase off videos alone isn't going to help. Seen some really good play though that makes it look easy but doesn't mean I'm going to be that good. I remember ages ago when I saw a 1cc of one of the Donpachi games and thought damn... this looks like a game I could easily pick up lol

Appreciate the input lilmanjs

Wish I got some more feedback though....

Update: Well I sort of bit the bullet and just went for it.... we'll see how things go.
