LAT Šī ir ļoti laba braukšanas spēle. Maldoties pa kāpām, un pēc tam uzbraukt uz ceļa sliedēm un spiest gāzi grīdā ir vienkārši fantastiski. Ir ļoti interesanti meklēt kontrolpunktus. Un ļoti bieži ir dilemma - braukt pa norādīto kursu pāri lielajām kāpām un šķēršļiem, vai apbraukt kāpas un akmeņus, bet tādējādi riskējot pazaudēt kursu!! Ļoti liels pluss ir kameru pārslēgšana. Autentisku sajūtu rada stūres kamera, jo tad logs noperas ar dubļiem, un ir jātīra. Ir reālistiski, ka var izkāpt un palīdzēt izvilkt citas mašīnas, un izrakt sevi ar lāpstu. 9/10. 10 nav tāpēc, ka spēlē nevar uztaisīt savu varoni. ENG This is a very good driving game. Getting lost in the dunes and then driving onto the road tracks and full throttle the accelerator is simply fantastic. Searching for checkpoints is very engaging. There's often a dilemma – whether to follow the indicated course over the large dunes and obstacles or to go around the dunes and rocks, risking losing the course! A big plus is the camera switching feature. The steering wheel camera provides an authentic feeling, as the windshield gets covered in mud and needs to be cleaned. It's also realistic that you can get out to help pull other cars out or dig yourself out with a shovel. 9/10. It doesn't get a 10 because it's not possible to create your own character in the game.

It gives you a good idea of what the Dakar is, especially at the most challenging level. Overall the game feels like a breath of fresh air in the world of motorsport, especially the navigation system. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443719900 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443721781

Buy this instead of dogshit newer game from Saber Interactive. It works better, without hiccups It looks better It drives better, without AI what pushes you around It FEELS better, where you can have sense of adventure and risk of getting lost in the middle of the dunes It allows you to walk outside of your car to use shovel to dig yourself out of sand or mud or help fellow competitors to get unstuck

Better than Dakar Desert Rally in almost every way. Some might consider this game an acquired taste, but it's damn satisfying if you do acquire the taste for it. A showcase of when it comes to terrain, a straight line isn't always the fastest route.

Sept. 2024

I can say without a doubt , this game is a winner. We can sit here and nit-pick all day long like some other reviews which say the co-driver is screaming, it doesn't support VR blah blah blah... but show me another game that costs $2,99 (on sale) with 2 out of 3 DLC that is free and gives you this kind of cool driving experience in unique conditions with a variety of vehicles and the ability to be PvP as well. Not many games like this out there at this price! Pick it up, you can thank me later.
