When I play other racing games, I never really get that feeling of doing something cool. Going 200 mph in a desktop chair versus a car seat are very different feelings, but, that is the reason a lot of people play racing games. That reason being the pursuit of that feeling. Art of Rally doesn't really care about that feeling, but in that same breath, do a great job of giving you that feeling. If I can pickup a game and be really good at it, it doesn't really make me feel something when I do something good. If i can pickup a game and be completely terrible at it and then I do something cool, that feeling of accomplishment is much much greater. Art of Rally is a pretty hard game first starting out, you cannot just effortlessly glide around corners. I wanted to touge drift initial d every corner, but you will learn very quickly that you can't. This lack of familiarity is a breath of fresh air for the racing genre. If you are good at one racing game, you are good at 95 percent of them. If you are good at 95 percent of racing games, you are not going to be great at this one. Approaching this with a xbox controller, I was barely finishing on the podium in the campaign until half way through. Then, I somehow managed to drift 3 consecutive hairpins and gunned it on the straight, and let me tell you, that feeling was amazing. The sense of accomplishment tied to the feeling of this game is so unique that once you get a taste you will not let go. So whatever you do, don't get frustrated at quit 2 hours in because you are bad at the game. Give it some time, and then, when you hit that crazy drift, you will feel what I'm feeling.
