Dakar Desert Rally Review – Grueling But Shallow

[Steve_OS]

The Dakar Desert Classic is a chaotic and grueling multi-class racing event that takes up to two weeks to complete and covers thousands of miles. While I have never been privy to race in this event in Saudi Arabia, I know others that have in real life, and the one constant is the race’s actual mantra of “go as slow as possible and as fast as needed.” The race consists of multiple classes of vehicles, including five categories. Motorbikes, quads, cars (T1/T2), lightweight vehicles (T3/T4), and trucks (T5). It is broken up into categories much like the 24 hours of Le Mans or 24 hours of Daytona, where classes race against the same style of vehicle, and not all of them in an actual point-to-point race where the first to finish wins. All this is to say that when it comes to my Dakar Desert Rally review, the event itself is a big part of the game.

Re: Dakar Desert Rally Review – Grueling But Shallow

If played at Pro mode, there is none of big yellow waypoints on a screen. More like a real Dakar. Sports mode is just arcade bumber car race.

Game performance at every platform is bad and have to place top 8 at every race is stupid idea. Otherwise game is great driving game!
