There’s no arcade racing series quite like SEGA Rally. The first game, SEGA Rally Championship 95 not only shifted the goal posts in the genre – it was among the first in the 3D space to change your traction depending on the racing surface – it’s directly credited by Codemasters themselves as the inspiration for the Colin McRae Rally games, and more besides. All the ports of the original game were sterling, and though SEGA Rally 2 was great in the arcades, on the Dreamcast, well… let’s just say that calling it a technical disaster is putting it rather mildy.
And while I’d like to take a deep-dive into the series at a later date, we’re here for SEGA Racing Studio’s SEGA Rally 3, and it’s various incarnations, so let’s get down to business.
