V-Rally 3D
I wrote few words about Collin McRae Rally and I’ve mentioned the PC version. Most of the times, the mobile version is just a little teaser and a pale copy of it - at least it usually happens.
I honestly don’t know if V-Rally 3D has anything in common with the PC V-Rally, but you should forget that one. In this case, the mobile version is the bomb and leaves the PC version in the dust.
Created by FishLabs and distributed by iFone in 2006, VRally 3D is a spectacular game: as they say on its official page, 3D graphics and a true 3D physics engine for the ultimate rally experience. But all this comes with a cost: over 500 kilobytes in size for a mobile game is a lot indeed and makes it playable only on high-end devices. But this shouldn’t stop you: after all, this is the game I show my friends when I want to make them grasp the future of mobile games, or at least how a good one should look like.
3 tracks, 4 cars. It might not seem much, but thorough the 4 championships you’ll get to unlock a better (not necessarily faster, this is rally, not NFS).
And now comes the good part. In a beautiful 3D environment you get the chance to slide taking turns “by the book”, watching out the clock. The gameplay is superb, except for minor FPS losses - nothing too annoying though, I’ve seen much worse - the tracks become more and more difficult, you get to drive the car on dusty gravel in the desert, on tarmac in Germany and on ice and snow in Sweden. The grip changes accordingly, so you’ll have to adapt your driving style to the road conditions. Every unlocked car feels differently so again you’ll have to adapt.
I won’t hide the fact that ever since I played for the first time the game I’ve fallen inlove with it. So far no game was that close to my gamer heart. It’s not perfect, so I cannot give it a perfect score, but close. 9.5 out of 10. Beautiful, simply beautiful.
