  • Summary: (Known as "Sega Rally" in the UK/EU) With dynamically deformable terrain, proprietary next-generation graphics, realistic physics, and competitive bumper-to-bumper racing, Sega Rally Revo is a high-tempo driving experience that is every racing fan's driving fantasy. Vehicle selection affects driving strategy in Sega Rally Revo, as race course surfaces dynamically deform upon repeated contact with vehicle tires and changing weather effects. Sega Rally Revo features a variety of fully deformable surfaces, from gravel-littered tracks and smooth tarmac roads, to snow-covered mountain passes. This means no two laps will be the same, and drivers can skillfully lower their lap times as they hurtle their chosen world-renowned rally vehicles down photo-realistic courses only made possible on next-generation hardware. Driving skills are also tested by Sega Rally Revo's advanced AI which allows NPC drivers to dynamically adapt their driving style to the varied racing surfaces. Players can enjoy a comprehensive single-player campaign as they travel the globe racing the best drivers in the world. The game also features online capabilities, with multiplayer splitscreen modes offering an extremely competitive rally experience against drivers around the world. [Sega] Expand

  1. The best arcade rally game you can buy - what did you expect? [Nov 2007, p.80]
  2. The old king of rally is back. Who needs realism when the cars are this fun to drive and the world is so wonderfully vivid? What the game could have used is more variety in its tracks – and more tracks. [Oct 2007]
  3. No, Revo's not bursting with originality or play options, but it's a solid racer that feels completely different from the competition. [Dec 2007, p.104]
  4. Without all of the environmental additions, Sega Rally Revo is an average racer at best.

    I love this game!!! It's sucked me in straight after I put a dvd into my xbox. Graphics are very good, (although some damage model would be nice) tunes quite all right, and above all pure arcade fun for everyone. It's good change from serious racers like forza or pgr. I like it more than burnout :) Excellent game! Expand
  2. This game is fun and well worth $7.20. The handling on the cars could be much better though. This game is an ok racing game and you might want it if you like racing. So i give it a 8. Expand

    Revo would be a lot more recommendable if racing games weren't already well represented on the 360. The courses are vivid and interesting. Tracks tear up and deform to your tires, and that effects your car's handling. That's about where the originality ends. It's a typical arcade racer where it doesn't matter if your brake button is broken, and around corners you can bounce off invisible walls which keep you from leaving the track. It just doesn't have much depth. There are better racing options out there, but it's not bad. Expand

    I'm shocked at all the good reviews, this is a disgrace to the Sega Rally name in my opinion. The track design is poor at best. None of them are on the same level as the brilliant Desert, Forest and Mountain tracks as seen in Sega Rally 1. They seem like they've been designed by work experience boys. The handling is rubbish. There's no feedback and its far too light. The ruts your car makes in the track are a nice idea but combined with light handling, its just too damn tricky. The graphics are solid. They look last-gen in my opinion though. Bright colours, basic car models and dreadful enviroments. Expand
