Multiple routes will allow the player to select the best path through the terrain. The first game title in the Dakar series comprises a journey across North Africa, from the jungle on the coast, through savannah and scrub to rolling sand dunes and the wonders of Egypt. This provides an exciting and diverse range of stages, interspersed with dramatic short clips from actual past rallies. Whether it's racing across the desert, speeding through the jungle, or charging around a mountain side with rock on side and nothing but air on the other, it's going to take skill, nerve and reactions to make it to the winner's podium. Hazards - Many obstacles will block and stifle your route Pot holes cause bone jarring effects and will eventually cause your suspension to collapse.
Appearances can be deceptive.
Tumbleweed should be avoided because if enough of them hit your windscreen, it will crack and eventually shatter. Without a windscreen, you'll be vulnerable to the sandstorms, dust devils or tornadoes and will need to repair at the next Way-station. Fallen trees will block your path but slaloming between them at a slow speed will cost you time. Rocks are a dangerous enemy and can wreck your sump, crush your suspension or crack your axle. Try to maintain a high speed but it will take skill to swerve around them.
