as well as being the game that defined arcade handling, sega rally is a truly unique experience in colour, sound and atmosphere. i wonder how magical it must have been to play this in an arcade back in the day. whilst the colours are very vibrant, they're never over-saturated, with cars that are impressively accurate and detail-rich considering the era's limitations. however, the strongest point of the game is the sensational driving, which is still the best in arcade terms. the stages are unique and progress in difficulty well. the music and sounds are crazy (game over yeaaah). i'm just not sure if the reason i can't unlock the third car was because i played the ps2 version, despite having completed the extra stage in first.
