It's EGX 2019 weekend! Over the next few days we'll be bringing you quickfire impressions of some of the highlights from the show floor here at London's ExCel centre. You'll find them all here - and if there's anything out there you want to bring to our attention let us know!
I don't want to jinx it, but I think we're in something of a golden age for rally games at the moment. Codemasters is flying high with Dirt Rally and its sequel, Kylotonn has entered the fray as a serious contender with WRC 8 and, coming in from leftfield, we have this; art of rally, (the lower case is intentional, in case you think my shift key has stopped working), an isometric off-roader that takes the bones of Neo Geo classics such as Thrash Rally and adds a bit more meat.
You might be familiar with the style from 2015's Absolute Drift, Funselektor's prior work - it's a sort of pastel paperwork aesthetic that gelled brilliantly in the developer's depiction of Japanese car culture first time out, and it serves just as well in this take on classic rally of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It looks like a particularly tasteful piece of poster art for some period classic, and in motion it moves with all the grace of an arcade great.
