Revo is, of course, following in the footsteps of a long illustrious line of arcade racers, the first of which hit in 1995. When the recently formed Sega Racing Studio set to turning this beloved arcade racer into a next-gen title they looked at the success of the arcade cabinets and tried to decide what they wanted to focus on for the console version. What they came away with was the vibrant graphics, the variable handling and the close racing, the way that in the game you always seemed just about to lose or win up until that last second of the race.

What they came up with was a graphically impressive rally racer that seems to hit a lot of sweet spots.

'SEGA Rally Revo' (PS3/X360/PC) - 4 New Screens

Vehicle selection affects driving strategy in SEGA Rally Revo, as race course surfaces dynamically deform upon repeated contact with vehicle tires and changing weather effects. SEGA Rally Revo features a variety of fully deformable surfaces, from gravel-littered tracks and smooth tarmac roads, to snow-covered mountain passes. This means no two laps will ever be the same, and drivers can skillfully lower their lap times as they hurtle their chosen world-renowned rally vehicles down photo-realistic courses only made possible on next-generation hardware.
