I played a lot the first GeneRally, (actually i still play it after i first discovered this game back in 2006 when it came from those games magazine that had a cd with a thouse games on it) and after buying this game i decided to leave my impressions about it, here are my thoughts, from the negative to positive:

- Negative -

1. I think the player's boxes could still be on the bottom of the screen, at least for myself, is easier to see what my stats are without diverting my attention too much from the race

2. I find the physics fun but when you hit something it behave weird, it is like your car turns too much from the direction you want to go, in the first game this was more predictable

3. Would be nice to save your and AI pilots like before, i always pretended to be playing with my friend making them in the game, comparing the saved scores, how much each won and so on.

4. I dont like the custom race specs as nowadays, the sliders were better, i could fine tune the fuel and tyres consumption, how much each points were earned by racing positions, how much damage, i could make a caotic race of a more professional by just adjusting the sliders, now we cant, instead, we have to select beteween 0, 50, 75, 100 and 150 (%), so i cant make the cars consume a little more tyres than fuel, or a bit more fuel than tyres, the gap is too big.

- Positive -

1. I love the import feature, i have a bunch of tracks in the old game and i can play here too, i just have reorder the grid positions because now you have 8 pilots instead of just 8

2. The models are lovely, really liked, i had some difficult in the previous game where i couldnt see to where my car was pointing after a hit, now is visible on the go

3. The track editor is really an improvement, you can test it without going to an actual race, make small adjustments, it is all very easy and intuitive

Im a big fan of this game, purchased it because GeneRally 1 was one of those childhood games, played with some friend, we made some crazy tracks, and to have a modern version of that game is kind a dream coming to reality.
