This game rules. The presentation is fantastic, and the games themselves are largely unique and fun to play. I loved to read the manuals and magazines to hype myself up for each new experience, and chatting with Kid Arino was a good time. I just wish there was more dialogue available (especially once Adult Arino gives you the final challenge and Kid Arino refuses to say anything to you).

I see other people upset with the final challenge (to beat all the games) but I really don’t see why. Apart from Haggleman 3 they’re all pretty straightforward, and if you’re having trouble finishing a certain game there’s a 100% chance that you can use some kind of cheat code or warp or trick to make things easier on you. They definitely could have included more challenges for each game, or made them feel more spread out. Maybe by making them harder, or unlocking new games after 3 challenges are complete and making you come back to each game later (before issuing the inevitable final “beat every game!” challenge).

Rally King rules so fucking hard. I’d love to see that one developed into a full-on multiplayer racing game.
