Rush Rush Rally Reloaded
Rush Rush Rally Reloaded is a fast-paced racing game in the classic top-down style. It is an upgraded version of Rush Rush Rally Racing, which was first released on the Dreamcast and promptly sold out.
The fast-paced gameplay with precise “twitch controls” provides an intense experience for up to 4 players.
3 single-player modes
Grand Prix mode: Enter a series of increasingly challenging races. The 10+ tracks offer a variety of twists – not only in terms of road layout, but also with crossing cattle and other obstacles, jumpable ramps, shortcuts, and driving in the dark of night. This mode features multiple endings, depending on how well you played.
Time Attack: Practice all the tracks that you have unlocked in the other game modes. Complete multiple laps to see a “ghost” of your best attempt, and race against yourself.
Challenge mode: try to get enough distance between yourself and the CPU-controlled challenger to force them off the screen. But beware! As you leave your rival behind, you will be able to see less of the road ahead. Can you defeat all 4 challengers?
3 local multi-player modes
If you own multiple game controllers, you can enjoy the local multi-player modes.
Versus: Race against your friends in this split-screen mode. Supports 2 to 4 players.
Item Mode: Like Versus mode, but with a lot more mayhem. Pick up various items that enable you to shoot your opponents, drop oil slicks on the road, and more.
Get Ahead: Try to get enough distance between yourself and your friend to force them off the screen. But beware! As you leave them behind, you will be able to see less of the road ahead. Supports 2 players.
Core features include:
– Fast-paced gameplay
– 3 single-player modes
– 3 local multi-player modes
– Multiple endings
– Unlockable secrets

The gameplay feels just right, it usually takes me a couple of tries to get to know a level and then I am on a roll.
The whole game is filled with unexpected things and little jokes, that makes this game stand out of other retro racing games. It just takes me back to my Micro Machines sessions on the Sega Megadrive <3

This game is very great. The strong points of the game is the driving of the cars and the creativity of the atmosphere. The more you play and the more you found way to optimize the driving. The game has an unique atmosphere which have reference to some retro car games and make the game appreciable in a creative way. Also, the game is challenging and every single race have personnal elements attached to them.
For the elements that could be improve, I think that it could be interesting if the driving could be a little bit more precise.
Overall, I recommend this game to everyone, from the casual player who just want to play a little (the game is not very hard at the easy difficulty) to the player who want to play a lot and to get some skill.

This game is great! Would you please implement a way to turn off the running over people on the side of the road please? Like a option to turn it on or off or something. It kinda doesn't bother me, but could traumatize someone else.

Rush Rush Rally Reloaded is nothing special.
If you're a top-down racing fan then there's lots to enjoy but there's a huge issue that constantly gets in the way: It doesn't have a track map. Instead you get direction indicators of what corners are coming up, except these are vague at best and flat-out wrong at worst.
You're forced to grind away learning the track layouts because you can't trust the on-screen prompts. It's particularly problematic in the challenge events where the goal is to get the length of the screen away from your opponent (if you played PS1 Micro Machines or PS2 Mashed games then you'll be familiar with this) as when you get far enough ahead, you can't see the upcoming track and it's imperative that the instructions given are accurate. And they're not.
For example: Hairpins apparently are only hairpins if they're a certain diameter, while a left into a left that requires similar caution is apparently not a hairpin: In fact the few times I encountered this, it only warned of a single left that just so happened to loop back on itself. There are often wiggly road sections where the icon matches the turns but then you get told to turn right at the end, even though the last turn was part of the icon, and the next turn is actually a left, which you're not warned about in time. There are lots of corners that go unmentioned and the exclamation mark icon is as unhelpful as it sounds: It means "hazard ahead" but obviously you have no way of known if that hazard is a tight corner, a jump, a narrow section or an obstacle.
The more you play, the more errors you encounter and it gets quite annoying. An on-screen track map would fix all of this.
I'd still say it's fun, but only in short bursts because eventually the frustration of not being able to see what type of corner is coming and not being able to trust the icons, makes the game an irritant. The music is also extremely repetitive; Senile Team did the absolute bare minimum in bringing this game to Steam, where instead they could have fixed the two problems with it and made it fantastic.
