I suppose I completely misunderstood Art of Rally. I contemplated if I should even write a review of it, since I didn't adequately experience it. But, why not?
Art of Rally isn't as much of a racing game as it seems to be a simulator. You can drive around scenic landscapes, various terrains, and control most of the aspects of your car that you would in real life, such as using a clutch and manual transmission. I'm sure this is all real useful and necessary if you want to pull off that authentic drifting, but... I don't know how to drive in the first place. I was really lost trying to drive the cars, failing miserably. It very quickly occurred to me that I was having no fun whatsoever.
I'm sure I'm just really far from the target audience for this game, so I can't be too harsh on it. Even among racing games, I like ones with a bit less realism, and a bit more fun, and as far as I can tell, this gets quite realistic. So, I don't really have much right to speak about a game I don't understand, but I also can't really recommend it, since I found no fun in driving along rather plain roads with unwieldy cars that kept flying off the track.
