How does Sega Rally compare to Ridge Racer ?
PITT
I was wondering how SATURN'S Sega Rally compares to PSX (Namco) Ridge
Racer as far as game play goes?
I really enjoy Ridge Racer and was wondering if Sega Rally is as fun? Is
it worth buying if you already have Ridge Racer? Are they too similar?
Thanks in advance

Rally is far superior to RR from any aspects. First, RR only has one track. Is that
stupid? Second, it's a rally race that will give you totally different experience about
car race. Also, Rally is running faster than RR. Need I say more? Go get Rally and
Vitural Cop. It is worth.

IMHO, RR is fun, but SRC is more so. They aren't the same kind of
game--RR is more traditional racing, and SRC is on Rally terrain:
gravel, dirt, mud, banked turns, jumps, etc. So don't expect them to
be too similar. SRC has at least four different tracks, RR has one
longer one which to me gets boring after a while. It also seems that
the graphics are nicer in SRC and update more quickly, although RR
also has nice eye candy. Both are good games. If you already have
RR, I'd still get SRC. You'll probably find yourself playing both,
since they're not the same kind of driving experience.

way beyond RR in terms of grafics, sound and of course gameplay and
replay value, some people however don't mind having only one track one
WORKING view and boring tunes.

much fun as Ridge Racer. It has a fun style of racing (off road) and
has gorgeous graphics (despite a little popup). It is worht getting as
well since the driving mechanics are different than Ridge racer.

I have them both too and I like Rally better than Ridge Racer. It's just
more fun. It controls just like what I'd imagine rally racing to feel
like- mud slides, loosing traction and your wheels spinning a bit before
you get it back, etc. The jumps are fun! (Better than the RR one in the
extra tracks). Especially in the forest right before the hairpin right-
you're barreling downhill, half the time you're in the air! Pop-up is
about as much as RR (there's only one that's noticeable, the mountain).
Framerate very fast. Seems like the WipeOut demo (haven't bought
WipeOut yet, but plan to).

Well, both games are definitely worth buying, no doubt about that.
Graphics are about a tie- both games have gorgeous texture mapped graphics
with minimal pop-up. Music will depend on your personal tastes but I
prefer the hard techno of RR to the hard rock in Sega Rally, but both
soundtracks are high quality (although music in Rally has a tendency to be
drowned out by the engine noise).. Both games control well, even though
Rally's learning curve will piss you off at first. For me, the biggest
difference is in replay value. R.R. is one of the most re-playable,
addicting games ever (don't let the Sony haters on this group tell you
otherwise). Sega Rally, while fun, just doesn't seem to be the kind of
game you'll still be dialed into in six months, unlike R.R. But you do get
the advantage of a very well done 2-player split-screen mode.
Anyway, go ahead and buy both games. You'll be glad you did.

I don't mean to be rude, but you are out of your fucking mind? Sega Rally has
worse replay value? Two-player, 4 _different_ tracks, race against yourself
until you die, all that compared to the 1 boring RR track? This has nothing to
do Sega/Sony competition.

Look, is this attitude really necessary? First you harp on the guy for being
rude to you, and then you go and do it right back to him. Granted, BOTH of
the positions stated above a opinions, and just that. So leave it at that.
If you didn't like how the first guy responded to your post, it's a little
hypocritical to turn right around and act in the same manner that pissed you
off in the first place.

Right. I already told you in private e-mail what I think of Ridge Racer. I
finished it in 3 days, while I can still only come in 2nd in Rally on Easy after
almost 2 weeks of playing. That's replay value to me. As for my post, it wasn't
rude at all, if anything the first sentence was meant in sarcastic way. Take out
the "fucking", and there's nothing to take offense at. Yo mama.

I don't mean to be rude, but go fuck yourself. The guy posting the
original message asked for opinions, and I gave him mine. If you disagree,
then fine, but you don't have to be so goddamn rude about it. I'm quite
certain you've never played RR for more than say... 7 minutes, and this is
nowhere near enough time to understand the depth and beauty of this game.
Replay Value isn't just about the number of tracks but more importantly,
how fun the game is to play. For me, Ridge Racer is just one of those
rare games that sucks you in and just doesn't let go- sort of like Tetris
or Tempest 2000. Beating the black lambo was so intense that I stopped
breathing at times and the hard throbbing techno soundtrack really pumps
you up. Plus, there's always the challenge of beating your lap time by
that .001 of a second- so the game really can never be truly mastered. I
agree that a 2-player option would have been nice, but Ridge Racer
Revolution will fix that in '96.
I'm not saying I don't like Sega Rally, because I do like it- A LOT. I
plan to purchase it next week. But for me, it just isn't the game that
Ridge Racer is.

Thats your problem, some games you never really "finish". Did you
get the black lambo yet? Can you finish a lap going at full speed
in the lambo without hitting the wall? I can almost guarentee you
haven't "finished" this game. I'll be honest though, I don't think
I'd be playing this game near as long without the NegCon...driving
at Lambo speeds with the standard controller would be impossible..

Yeah RR is just so playable with all those excellent tracks!

You should get out and listen to real music if you think RR has "hard
techno" in it. I always thought the music to Daytona was unbearably goofy
until I heard RR. In fact, I try never to play Ridge Racer when its own CD
is in the drive. Satans music designed to drive you mad is what that is.

I got the black lambo. No, I can't finish a lap without hitting a wall, but I
didn't even tried. After I beat the lambo, it was pretty much "it" for me. I was
bored with the game much earlier, but I had to beat it to justify the $50 I
wasted on it. Thanks for bringing up controllers, Rally can be played with a
"real" wheel, not some funky twisting handle. I mean, how hard would it be to
design and make a wheel for PSX. I would certainly buy one, if I still had my
Playstation.

Not hard. :-) Mad Catzs wheel (and PEDALS...YES!) should be out shortly.
