#Drive Rally

#DRIVE Rally wants to bring back the golden days of rally games, but it needs to improve a few aspects before it can catch people's attention with its glorious graphics and great driving physics.

Racing in #DRIVE Rally isn't the most remarkable experience I've ever encountered, yet it's engaging enough that I keep retrying stages to beat my high scores. Right now, I'm having fun.
