Sega shows off Sega Rally 3

It seems that Sega Europe has been showing off the new Sega Rally 3 arcade game this week at a special showing in Chessington, Surrey, UK. Unfortunately, we weren’t invited to the event, but we can still bring you some news (ah, the wonders of the Internet).

The cabinets are said to be sporting 62-inch monitors and scaled-down models of cars (for seating) with motion technology in the base. The game features include link play for up to six players, the original Sega Rally ‘95’s desert track (remodeled with today’s technological advances in graphics), three challenging environments and a championship mode.

Nothing really new by the sound of it, but still exciting, nevertheless, to have another true arcade Sega Rally. One of the biggest complaints against the recent Sega Rally Revo on the Xbox 360 and Ps3 was that the game had lost the “arcade feeling” and had become more of a challenge to learn, which went against the usual pickup-and-play experience players were used to with the first two games.

Justin Burke, sales and marketing manager, commented: “The tremendous response we have had this week confirms that we have a winner on our hands and they will be a great boost to any arcade that sites them.”

Personally I cannot wait to see this hit arcades. I’m going to drive around all week if I have to find an arcade holding the game!
