SEGA had a lot of pressure on its when SEGA Rally for next-gen systems was announced. The track deformation seemed like a gimmick and the structure seemed rather archaic compared to modern racers. They managed to pull it off though, delivering one of the best arcade racers of 2007. As I said in the review: "for those that get to grips with the driving dynamics and can tolerate the bare-bones structure, SEGA Rally is a fine re-imagining of a classic racing series."
