The third main game in the series and not a great deal has changed, but there's still a fair bit of fun to be had.

Basics out of the way first. The modes to this game are a Time Attack, in which you can drive across 24 tracks over six countries, a Challenge mode where you must complete several tracks in a row across the different countries in sponsored challenges and get the best time overall. Then there's the V-Rally Mode: sign up with a famous team and race in a number of rallies, again with the intention of being the best.

There's scores of options to be found in terms of servicing your car (choosing from one of more models than you can shake a stick at) and you can inspect the race schedule in closer detail.

Soundwise, how long since you actually heard a car racing game sound anything more than average? Once in a while, but not often - and this is no exception. That's not a major hassle here though since it doesn't hinder the gameplay as your vehicle rasps along.

When it comes to playing the game, V Rally 3 shares the same difficult physics of its predecessors. You can get used to it after a couple of races, but it doesn't really feel like it's come on a great deal since the original release,

Try to rent this before you buy, since while it may have all the options even the keenest rally driver would want, overall it's just not as impressive as I hoped for. Try Project Gotham Racing or Burnout instead.
