Do you feel the fever? The World Rally Fever?

World Rally Fever: Born on the Road, an impressive anime-style racer with an incredible high-speed feel, gets a proper release on GOG.com for only $5.99.

This game delivers what is promised: crazy racing action, tough competition, wild weapons and power-ups, and levels set in Rio, Tokyo, Paris, and many other places across the world. If that doesn't make you feel like riding, maybe this will: the game features anime-style art and characters, cart-like vehicles, fast-paced action, and a soundtrack with catchy tunes from many different genres including pop, jazz, metal, and rock. Unique game-play, distinctive visuals, and responsive controls guarantee that once you begin playing it feels like you were born to ride this road.

World Rally Fever: Born on the Road is an adrenaline-fueled joyride, now available on GOG.com for $5.99.

What i can't even say i don't like the cover art?

I have nothing against anime style art or games,but even by those standards i find the cover to be extremely generic and badly done, if you enjoy it have no quarrel with you in fact good for you that you like it.

bkilinc: I see no brain in WRF, dated effects to imitate 3D environment, funny music and graphics. All you need is using arrow keys efficiently to win, and entertain yoursef with all of it. it is 2012 and we saw better visual effects, music etc, there is no jaw dropping effects here, and there is no mind-binding puzzles. So what this game is for?
the game is old so of course it will be dated.
funny music and graphics do not make the game stupid. it is matter of taste.
You don't like the style, the arcadey racing, the silly music it is your choice. Calling the game stupid just because you don't like it? that's not right.

I like the look of this game myself. Thanks GOG on another unique release. Looks like fun. In fact, I believe I like the look of this release more than a certain upcoming "S" game that will get a lot more attention. But, I am sorta weird ;)

Because games like this can be fun

Dated effects ? Who cares ? Doesn't affect game like Master of Magic and Darklands.

You're criticising a sixteen year old game because you want '2012 visual effects, music etc' ?

look at topseller games in gog, there is nothing like WRF, Superfrog or alienbreed. lately I recommended gog in my facebook profile for good old strategy games and at that time superfrog appeared and it filled itself with childish anime games. if this is gog, I am out.

Ah, right - so a game has to be a 'topseller' to be any good ? GOG sells around 250 games, they can't all be topsellers.

Here on GOG, 14 people have rated this game five stars. Their opinions don't count ?

Do you have specific criticisms of the game (eg buggy play, poor control system, etc) ?

If you're going to throw a tantrum, don't let the door hit you in the butt as you leave.

looking at top sellers you can see the user profile, of course every game cannot be on top. If I have negative opinions, I can express it. and what will go do to me anyway. will it ban me to buy games. I can live with it. and who are you replying me in seconds about a childish game. anyway that is what I think, I can express it.

Sure, no argument - but you're calling a game 'stupid' when you've admitted you haven't played the PC version.

According to the posting times on GOG, it was around 8 minutes, not 'seconds'.

And now WRF is 'childish' as well ?

Sigh...

WBGhiro: What i can't even say i don't like the cover art?
You can, but then I feel obligated to say that I do, or else they'll just assume everybody dislikes it and change it... and I grew weary of changing covers back in the Sega Genesis days.

It could be better, yeah, but between DeviantArt and a number of indie games (not to mention console shovelware and the countless butchered covers that range from the days of Megaman to as recent as Shiren the Wanderer) as of late, I can live without a colorful racing game's anime-style cover having been drawn by Rumiko Takahashi. I've seen much, much worse used for more significant titles. I have a bit of a fondness for it, nonetheless.

As long as we're discussing cover changes, I wasn't particularly fond of the reflective glare and the "free" banner they added to the covers, either. I don't hate change... at least I don't think I do. I just don't like changes that... well, that I don't like! Wouldn't mind them changing whatever it was they did to the shelf a few months back that makes it lock up and display an "Unresponsive script" error every time I visit "My account".

Textbook insecurity. Do you read the things you say? Those are both very common traits for people within your mental age group. You might want to do something about your personality, it's easily your greatest flaw.

Not that it matters. GOG is Good Old Games. That is a broad category that includes "childish anime games", as you so eloquently put it. That means you're out. It was good meeting you, stranger. Sayonara. ;)

Obviously you can't express negative opinions as you're failing miserably at it.

If you're the sort that's going to throw tantrums because games are being released that other people like, then just save us all the energy and just stop posting. All you're accomplishing is making yourself look like some sort of spoiled brat.

I very much hope that this is just an impression based upon a poor understanding of the English language and forum culture.

Threatening to quit if certain types of games are added to the store is definitely not going to win you any friends around here.

hey, who is trying to win friends in a site selling old games. I am a customer, expressing my opinion. If I am unhappy with the site I won't come again for sure and recommend it to my friends.

Do you have to do it in a way that's so trollish?

I get that this game isn't your cup of tea, but I hardly see how games like the ones that have been released lately are soo bad that they make it impossible to enjoy the other ones.

expressing your opinion is fine.
but
"I'll quit cause there is too may childish games being release" is just silly.
especially since we got like half of dozen of them (and alienbreed is not kiddy game anyway)

I might give this one a try, ditto with Superfrog. Good times. :)

A giant wall of text all because some of us said we don't like anime? You should practice what you preach. You can begin by accepting that not everyone's opinion will be the same as yours.

I used to have Out Run which this reminds me of. Not big into racing games, but it looks fun. Waiting for BC Racers.

Nice addition.
I remember buying this (back in the day), and discovering to my disappointment that my keyboard wasn't up to the task. :(

Don't know this game. Looks good.
