Summary
In a genre that's already abundant in rally games, it can sometimes be difficult for publishers to get their games noticed amidst a slew of WRC games and Colin McRae sequels. However, one game that does deserve the attention of would-be rally champions is Oxygen's Euro Rally Champion.
In this latest Oxygen title drivers must test their skill against the elements, as well as against the clock, in a Championship mode that spans densely wooded forest trails, treacherous Alpine passes and the extremes of the African desert.
Featuring realistic tuning and modification of your mud-spattered vehicle, it's not just your rallying career you'll build up as you race – every part of the car that can be tweaked in reality can be honed in Euro Rally Champion for a fully-customisable rally experience.
But even if you don't know your rear differential from your toe-in you won't be left choking on the starting grid as Euro Rally Champion gives drivers all of the adrenaline and thrill of an arcade racer as well as the precision and realism of a true simulation.
In addition to the single player Time Trial and Championship modes, you can go head-to-head in a plethora multiplayer sessions. Budding stunt drivers and those who simply fancy flipping their car without the risk of fractured limbs and bruised pride can even burn rubber on one of the special Extreme Exhibition stages. These are filled with mad jumps, perilous slopes and the chance to barrel roll your way around adrenaline-inducing arenas of motoring insanity.
Using an advanced version of the physics engine used to power the critical smash hit Indy Car Series, Euro Rally Champion offers some of the most potent road handling physics and most realistic car dynamics the genre has witnessed.
