Rush Rush Rally Reloaded

Top-down racers are, ahem, right up my Strasse. But make no mistake about it, this one is a very tough cookie! If you haven't come across it before, think Micro Machiness' evil brother. There's no mini-map, and only a millisecond warning before a corner. There is a time trial mode which is great because you will have to learn these courses! Once they are imprinted in the difficulty levels higher than 'easy' become manageable and the achievements finally start to flow. The CPUs are unforgiving and can ruin your race so you will learn to value inside lines and tactical braking. Can you see a theme here? It's pretty hard! Even the achievements are hard. It's a cracking port of an historic game which stands up to the modern era by retaining that old skool games difficulty level, and while you will be pulling your hair out, you'll be loving it while you do so. Great value too, just not for the faint of heart.

This game is great! Would you please implement a way to turn off the running over people on the side of the road please? Like a option to turn it on or off or something. It kinda doesn't bother me, but could traumatize someone else.

Most people dont know why this is the coolest top down racer on steam. This is one of the founding fathers if top down racing it was amazing in its day and sought after by fans for years after. I almost paid a 100 dollars just to play this. Its is not just a good game its amazing even among the best today in its genre. 5.99 is a steal get it play get good!!

Rush Rush Rally Reloaded is nothing special. If you're a top-down racing fan then there's lots to enjoy but there's a huge issue that constantly gets in the way: It doesn't have a track map. Instead you get direction indicators of what corners are coming up, except these are vague at best and flat-out wrong at worst. You're forced to grind away learning the track layouts because you can't trust the on-screen prompts. It's particularly problematic in the challenge events where the goal is to get the length of the screen away from your opponent (if you played PS1 Micro Machines or PS2 Mashed games then you'll be familiar with this) as when you get far enough ahead, you can't see the upcoming track and it's imperative that the instructions given are accurate. And they're not. For example: Hairpins apparently are only hairpins if they're a certain diameter, while a left into a left that requires similar caution is apparently not a hairpin: In fact the few times I encountered this, it only warned of a single left that just so happened to loop back on itself. There are often wiggly road sections where the icon matches the turns but then you get told to turn right at the end, even though the last turn was part of the icon, and the next turn is actually a left, which you're not warned about in time. There are lots of corners that go unmentioned and the exclamation mark icon is as unhelpful as it sounds: It means "hazard ahead" but obviously you have no way of known if that hazard is a tight corner, a jump, a narrow section or an obstacle. The more you play, the more errors you encounter and it gets quite annoying. An on-screen track map would fix all of this. I'd still say it's fun, but only in short bursts because eventually the frustration of not being able to see what type of corner is coming and not being able to trust the icons, makes the game an irritant. The music is also extremely repetitive; Senile Team did the absolute bare minimum in bringing this game to Steam, where instead they could have fixed the two problems with it and made it fantastic.

This game is a fun distraction. It's clear that it has a very high skill ceiling, while not being overly intimidating for casual players like myself. With that said, if there were an online mode, I'd probably become very competitive indeed. :) If you enjoyed Super Cars on the Amiga/Atari ST, or Micro Machines 2 on the Mega Drive, the concept will be immediately familiar. Another reviewer complained that there's no mini map. Imagine having to learn a racetrack in 2025... As a final comment, how do you know someone games on Linux? Don't worry, they'll tell you. The game runs flawlessly on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, Kubuntu 25.04 and Linux Mint through Proton. I imagine it will work just as well on the Steam Deck. It only costs a few quid. You'll spend more on a sandwich and not think twice. If the game genre interests you, you shouldn't think twice either.

Perfect Dreamcast port. If you like Micro Machines, you will love this game.

good classic racing game
