Press Release
The famous rally simulation is available for your handheld! Are you ready to win the supreme title of WORLD RALLY CHAMPION DRIVER? You'll have to master the incredible power of authentic rally cars throughout 20 very demanding special stages on very different surfaces such as asphalt, snow, mud, gravel....

the green hills of Corsica

| Race on 20 original tracks and various terrains (Jungle, Deserts, Mountains and many more).

Choose from 4 Official World Rally Championship Cars:
Peugeot 306 MAXI,
Mitsubishi Lancer WRC,
Ford Escort WRC,
Subaru Impreza WRC

| Tracks in 10 Locations (Indonesia, African Safari, Corsica, New Zealand, French Alps, United Kingdom, Greece, Argentina, Italy and Sweden)
| 3 Race modes: Practice, Arcade, Championship
| Smooth Animations (Sliding, Skidding, Somersaulting and Crashes)

V-Rally actually makes players feel like they're driving on rally tracks that go up hills and down into valleys, through rain, mud patches and even snow. The game sports superb graphics that include land- or cityscapes at the horizon, roadside obstacles (including signs, buildings and more), varying street conditions and sound support. You will be impressed by the 3D look of the grayscaled road and the details of the cars and the tracks. Pocket racing certainly has come a long way!

the narrow Greece roads
Are you a rookie, a pro or an ACE driver? Choose the right car for your driving style if you want to stand a chance! V-Rally offers you a choice of 4 cars. The cars are characterized by four different attributes:
ACCELERATION: acceleration potential.
MAX SPEED: maximum speed.
GRIP: roadholding.
BRAKE: braking effectiveness. Watch out for narrow turns, objects on the road and competing cars... Collisions may cause you to bounce a bit and lose speed, but if you smash into an obstacle at high speed you are penalised with a time intensive car flipping animation! Braking for tight turns or obstacles is just as essential as using your quick reflexes to avoid smashing into another car or skidding through an oil patch. But first of all, you need SPEED!"
the snowy mountains
The actual game itself offers 3 modes:
Practice, Arcade and Championship.
Practice mode is for training. Here you can acquire the necessary skills before moving on to the challenges of the other modes.
Arcade mode has players compete with 10 other cars in 10 different stages (divided into three difficulties), such as Indonesia, Greece, Corsica, England, Sweden, Italy, the French Alps, New Zealand, Argentina and an African Safari trek. You have to pass three checkpoints before your time runs out. Win the race and you lose no credit.
But the ultimate challenge in V-Rally is in Championship mode. Here you compete in an entire race season of 10 races in 10 different countries, to become the WORLD CHAMPION..., or not as the case may be! One wrong move may spoil your season... Will you be fast enough on the broad roads of Greece? Will you drive with skill around the twisty mountain roads of the French Alps? Are you the ACE driver that can win the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS? !
Test your driving skills to the limit.
Buckle up and get ready for an insanely fast experience!

EPOC version: "The animation of the game is beautifully smooth throughout... V-Rally is quite absorbing, and recommended for Psion-owning race fans." We awarded it 4 (out of 5) for Quality and 3 for Value.
- Palmtop magazine (issue 34)
EPOC version: "TomTom have done it again! The 5mx and Revo family is no spring chicken, yet the sheer power of these devices is unleashed in the latest game from TomTom. V-Rally puts you behind the wheel of your own rally car where you can safely cause as much mayhem as you like."
- Tucows
EPOC version: "V-Rally for EPOC is probably the most realistic game I have ever played on my Revo. Although the large capacity space needed to execute the game, with excellent graphics and astonishing game play, V-Rally for EPOC promises unlimited entertainment to everyone. Excellent graphical display and realism. Exact game play and concept from that of the PC or Playstation version." The Rating: 9
- EpocCity.com
EPOC version: "V-Rally for EPOC demonstrates some of the best graphics for the Revo that I have seen. (...) If you want a simple, easy to pick up and very good fun game for your Revo and you're not into strategy games then this is definitely for you! You don't really need much extra memory to run it as well. Brilliant!"
- Revoworld.com
Palm version: "This is without doubt the best game ever to make it onto the Palm. If this is a sign of things to come perhaps Nintendo has something to worry about after all."
- Mobile Computer User.
PocketPC version: "Incredible Graphics! V-Rally has been optimized to look and feel very cool. (...) Overall, this game really exploits the Pocket PC’s multimedia capabilities to offer an incredible action gaming experience."
- Microsoft.com
Palm version: "...the most impressive features of this Palm version are its outstanding graphics and smooth animation. Don't be surprised to find your foot reaching for the brake pedal as you skid through oil slicks, slide on ice and somersault over other cars. Scrolling 3D graphics make you feel like you're really racing through the twisting roads of the French Alps..."
- ZDNet
PocketPC version: "V-Rally is undoubtedly one of the greatest PocketPC games created to date, and is the finest racing game currently available for the platform (Overall Score: 5/5)"
- 3d Accelerated.com
Palm version: "...The game is amazing. Do these companies know some sort of secret about the Palm that nobody else knows? Where does all the performance come from?..."
