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 multi-colored road and the details of the cars and the tracks. Pocket racing certainly has come a long way!

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 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 20 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? !
