rally
As usual with any kind of racing or fighting game, I have to preface this post with a disclaimer. My enjoyment and enthusiasm for racing games is only equalled by my complete lack of skill. The same goes for fighting games, as these are two genres that I always love to play, but am forever woefully awful in every way.
Whenever a particular series of games has a monopoly on a genre, I'm always eager to check out any competition that crops up. This is often the case with sports games as real life teams and branding get licensed to a single developer and nobody really wants to play as fictional teams instead of the ones they actually support IRL. Thankfully though, there's a bit more variety to be found in the racing genre.
After a relatively disappointing experience in Dirt Rally, I figured it might be worth getting back to the mainline series. Sure I might not be as talented as you need to be to succeed in a more 'hardcore' take on rally driving, but at least this one has difficulty levels. However, it turns out that difficulty isn't the only thing that can kill the series.
Is it a sin to dislike a game, simply because it caters for an audience that you're not a part of. Or should we be more objective and consider its merits, somehow attempting to guess what a different gamer would think of the same game. Well, this isn't that kind of blog, and I ended up not liking Dirt Rally very much.
