Sega’s in pretty bad shape financially as a group. It’s a shame it had to be taken out on a Euro studio, though. Sega Europe’s very successful.

Sega Rally was amazing, and if you don’t like it you’re a fool. One of the most charismatic racing games in years.

What a shame.

I have to admit, I never played Sega Rally. And that’s a shame.

No disrespect to the couple of EGers who work there but it promised a lot, and delivered very little.

Wow… on the one hand, Sega Rally was a good-looking game and pretty decent technology-wise on PS3 and Xbox 360. However, the fact that just months on you can pick it up for £9.99 brand new speaks volumes.

I really hated its invisible walls, its total lack of information on why I should choose one car over another, its lack of restart from within a championship, and its bouncey collision physics. Offering up two handling systems for different terrain - but not allowing you to switch between rally stages - was a grave annoyance. Also wasn’t keen on the screen tear and 30fps update.

While the sentiment was there, if AM3 were gonna make a next gen Sega Rally game it wouldn’t be anything like what the Racing Studio served up.

Aw. I live only a few miles from Solihull, shame. At least we still have Rare.
