Review: Rush Rally Origins - Better than Art of Rally?

[@tommc6815]

To the developer: i love isometric racing games, all started with rc pro am on the Gameboy and here we are today! Looks great and at that price it tips me into getting two copies for two switch accounts. Well done on having the confidence in your product to set such an attractive price for the content, i hope it does well!

Art of Rally player, PC (Steam). Some of the issues of the Switch port are… Glaring, to say the least. I don’t play it, but the simple fact that the Switch doesn’t have analog triggers might dampen the somewhat-sim controls of art of rally. The difficulty curve might be exaggerated as a result, as I even tried my Switch Pro controller on the game and found the throttle and brake response difficult to manage compared to the more fluid analog triggers of my Xbox controller. You really have to fiddle with the sensitivities. I also wholeheartedly agree on the disconnect between the trailers and actual game. As much as it hurts to say, Funselektor should have used a lower graphics setting to record the trailers to better represent the power of the Switch, and it feels almost misleading. The game can be beautiful, but the Switch is not the console for it. I highly suggest you try and get the game on PC or a different console, with an Xbox or PlayStation controller, and give it another go. It’s not too hard to pick up. Unless you go for the Stratos, Renault 5, Ferrari, or Mazda RX-7. Those are difficult cars to use. Otherwise, there are people who have gotten top 10 leaderboard times with even a keyboard. I assure you Art of Rally has a curve as a somewhat sim-like experience, but that the Switch port’s shortcomings certainly don’t help, and do not represent the PC version.

Played Art of rally on PC and it is still very bad game. Even Lonely mountain downhill is better both off-road and racing game. I'd even go as far as saying physics of driving in LMD is better. It's only personal opinion of course but if you didn't like AOR on The Switch chances are you won't like it on PC either. Very overhyped game, again, in my opinion.

This game is a gem. I hope the creators keep adding content: cars, races and local multiplayer.

[@NSUKPodcast]

Absolutely, thanks for the comment!

@Paco Mike Alpha , that is precisely what Steven Brown has done with Rush Rally 3. With major upgrades requiring an in-app purchase. I'm hoping some of Rush Rally Origins' content can become an upgrade in Rush Rally 3.

Looks fun to play , I’m glad you got to review it. Decent price and looks like there’s some great depth with unlockables customisations and greater classes to compete in . So good to hear they are still working on developing the game . Overall it’s sounding like an easy choice if your on the fence, thanks Al I may add this to my switch list 🤙

[@NSUKPodcast]

Thank you for your comment!

[@erwartungstk]

I just got it for switch, and what a game! I was looking for racing games with isometric view (i'm a rock n' roll racing veteran) and its simply awesome, dunno why it hasn't been properly hyped because it deserves it.

[@collydub1987]

Bought this game today based off your review. Nice channel and good review. Keep it up.

[@franklinnash]

I love this game on my phone. It and its predecessor Rush Rally 3 are genuine works of passion.

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Great review!

[@NYCJoeBlack]

My copy arrived from PlayAsia! I wonder why the game did not receive an ESRB rating/US physical release?

[@moo3852]

I love the art of rally game but you are absolutely correct some of the cars are almost undrivable.

AoR's style doesn't translate perfectly onto the switch but in a handheld format I still prefer it's visuals to this games attempt at realism. It looks better but it ends up more claustrophobic as a result. AoR's simplicity allows it to showcase these amazing vistas where you get glimpses of what's to come that are really beautiful. AoR reminds me of when I was a child playing with my hotwheels in my sand box and I love it for that. But that's all a matter of personal taste. The difficulty thing I don't get. I managed to breeze through the career on the normal difficulty and have been having fun with custom rallys on skilled difficulty. Are people trying to play without assists or something? The switch triggers are on/off switches, leave the default assists on or turn them down slightly as they tend to cause understeer. Maybe its just I've spent a life time playing various arcade/simcade racers?

[@detritiv0re144]

Hopefully you can check out Rush Rally 3 as well.

[@hzafary]

I like the third person perspective. But racing towards the camera does not look like fun

[@yousifdelvalle4162]

RRO imo - is really boring with the static camera- it is unbelievable with the standard iso camera

[@ar_p4986]

Art of rally is tr4sh

[@scottishwildcat]

Weird, the chase cam was there from launch day for me, and I haven’t had any patches.

[@BrownmonsterGames]

Yeah, it has always been there since Rush Rally 1! The problem with RRO is that we just never showed the user that is was there so some people will have missed it that's all. We did a patch which gave players a visual option to choose when they started a race, and told people they can change it in the options when they like. Once we did this, it was much more easily found :)

[@idonteatenoughpies]

Yeah I discovered I got that wrong after I recorded but as brownmonster says below he did make it a bit more obvious through a patch. I was one of those dummies that missed it originally. Oops!

[@huyra8019]

His other rally game felt more fun imo

[@greekretrogamer4355]

You simply can't compare AOR with RRO. Sorry to say, AOR is a State of the Art regarding to gameplay !!!! Simple as that !!!! In terms of graphics it looks stunning on PC version but i totally understand the issues on Switch version. But, as i said, gameplay is the same in both versions, so yes, AOR is the King by far compared even with many AAA rally titles !!!

[@bessallin459]

Incorrect and misinformed this is a way better rally game. Better luck next time.

[@bigshacc2]

bro rro costs 3.50 on mobile and aor costs like 20 dollars on pc only rro is on ios, android, pc, switch aor is just on pc and switch ☠️☠️☠️ rro solos

[@erwartungstk]

after trying both i couldn't disgree more. RRO is waaaaaay better and more important it brings much more fun.

[@michaelsmyth8545]

An inbetwean view would be good
