Description (by Apogee Software)
Death in the fast lane! Death Rally is a pure-action blast-fest in a hot new racing game. Unless you can handle your machine guns and mines as well as the curves in the road, you're road kill. Drive by shooting. Get the picture? Earn cash each race, buy death for your opponents in the shops. Simple as that. Also buy new cars, engines, wheels and armor. No cash? Then take a loan from the loan shark--but you better have it when it's time to pay back! We're talking top-down racing in a cool 3D engine. We're talking a game with beautiful graphics, thrashing music and pinpoint gameplay. We're talking Duke Nukem is one of the racers! Why has this game been the #1 Internet download for at least 7 straight weeks? 'Cause it rocks! Duhh. See for yourself.

Description of Death Rally
Read Full DescriptionOne of the best racing games ever made, Death Rally is an arcade-style overhead racer that is simple in nature, but is incredibly addictive.
The game is similar to Micro Machines, except that it is a lot more fun: you can arm your vehicle with weapons to take out the opposing drivers, and take on special missions for extra cash-- these range from picking up track-side drugs to wiping out a fellow driver. There are six vehicles to choose from and 18 tracks to race in.
As for how good the game is, Satoshi Kunsai's excellent review for MobyGames says it all: 'First off, the game itself has a very nice, old school-ish feel, sort of like a violent Micro Machines or a Rock 'n' Roll Racing, both of which sucked up a lot of my time in my youth.
The game plays from an overhead view, but it feels right for this game. The gameplay is very wonderfully conceived here; your opponents almost seem to have minds of their own, and actually DO fight with you to cross the finish line! They also try grabbing Power-Ups as they appear, and will even kill each other if need be! Talk about brutal competition!
The game starts you with a little clunker car called the Vagabond, which looks like an old VW Beetle. During the game, you can earn money in the races by finishing in at least 3rd place, or by killing all your opponents on the track, or in some other such 'friendly' method (like earning money by making spectators happy). You can put that money towards purchasing upgrades for your car, or saving up a bundle and buying yourself a new car (such as the Porsche-like Wraith, or my favorite, the Deliverator). You can also take out a loan from the Loanshark, but you'd better pay it back within three races, or he'll take it out of your hide (in other words, he could possibly kill you if you don't have his money).
There are plenty of other little touches as well, such as heh heh the Undergroud Shop, where you can buy weapons for your car, or even sabotage the car of the highest ranking racer in your next race. sadistic grin
Now, onto the cosmetics...while I normally don't like all this 'rendered' stuff in a lot of my games, Death Rally's rendered graphics definitely make the style, and are very clean and cool looking. Everything is nice and sharp and the movement of the cars is pretty nice looking. The 'mushroom' effect (where you grab a mushroom on the track and the screen begins to waver like mad) is cool, if not a little too disorienting. Still, I can't complain...it does look very damn cool to see that.
Sounds and music are both very good indeed. The music is mostly techno and is an excellent compliment to the game, fitting alongside the action very well. The sounds are pretty good, with plenty of engine sounds, gunfire, explosions, and the cool scraping, grinding noise a wrecked car makes as it slams into the sidelines. Nothing to complain about at all here!
The Black Death Pc Game
The Bad: Not very much, except for one thing: Why waste all the space on the CD for a protection file when you can just record the music to the CD instead? Apogee just doesn't seem to get the idea that if you're going to distribute your game on a CD in the first place, why not USE that room to enhance the game a little bit? Remedy should've let them know about that. Another thing that should've been worked on was character customization: all you can enter is a picture, a car color, and a name and that's it. Remedy should've allowed you to customize you characters a bit more.
The Bottom Line: Death Rally is an excellent game by any standards, and (thankfully) Apogee still sells it direct. Call them up ASAP, get your credit card out, and order this game! Definitely two thumbs up, and kudos to Remedy for a wonderful racer!'
It is worth mentioning that Death Rally offers excellent multiplayer, with four player network and two player modem play supported. A classic in every respect, and a must-have for every action or racing fan. Two thumbs up, way up!

The game is now free on steam and it seems it's going to stay free for good.

Super entertaining! There is also a remake out there with better graphics but its not as good as the original. I still play and beat this one at least once a year.

I still have the CD. Great graphics. Highly addictive. The game is a bit too easy I think but don't let that keep you from playing this gem.
