If you watch the introductory movie for the game, you'll see cars broad sliding through mud and sand, kicking up great rooster tails as they make their way. And you'll be busy all the time in Rally Championship since the road is seldom straight for more than just a few feet at a time. That means that two hundred metres ahead, you'll have a very sharp left curve followed immediately by a moderate right turn. In addition to the voice, there are also arrows which appear at the top of the screen to provide this information. The game is rendered well in all three dimensions.
Roads constantly change camber as well as going up and down.
The car will take flight over a high-speed crest or crunch and bounce through a ditch. And you can turn the car over if you get too delirious in your driving. If you leave the road, you might be slowed by deep snow or slide across ice. There are also many obstacles along with way from piles of logs to rocks to bulldozers to bridges. For the sake of keeping the game playable, these can be clobbered at a ridiculous speed and the car will remain drivable though a time penalty is incurred as you get going again.
