Sega Rally is back with a major next-gen facelift - the classic rally driving game is bigger and better than ever on the PS3. It's still the same old favourite at heart, but it comes wrapped up in a fantastic combination of next-gen visuals, new courses and locations and a host of updated, upgraded cars for you to throw around the tracks. We like it so much we've given it a P3Zine Gold Award - read our review now to find out what makes the new Sega Rally such a great drive!

Sega Rally review for PS3

There's not many games which are as instantly recognisable as Sega Rally. Following Sega's reputation for creating stunning arcade racers in the eighties like OutRun and Super Hang-On, Sega hit gold in 1993 and released Daytona USA. Mixing the fun handling of previous Sega racers but tacking on a real-world race track, Sega had discovered something very important in the world of gaming. People wanted their racers to look real but when it came to sitting down at an amusement machine and grabbing the wheel, reality could happily take a back seat. The culmination of years of research and Daytona USA feedback was channelled into one game in 1994 and, yes, that game was the brilliant Sega Rally.

While there's been various editions of the game on Sega's own Saturn and Dreamcast consoles, this is a new take on the game. The principles (go fast, go sideways, go faster) have stayed the same, but the cars, tracks and visuals have had a major next-gen refit.
