About

V-Rally is a rally racing game initially developed by Eden Studios for the PlayStation, published in North America by Electronic Arts under the title of Need for Speed: V-Rally. Later ported to PC, N64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color. It features 11 official rally cars and more than 40 courses with dynamic weather, terrain, and time-of-day variations. Players can fine-tune vehicle settings such as suspension, gear ratios, and steering before competing across three main modes: Arcade, Championship, and Time Trial. In Arcade mode, players advance through competitions grouped by difficulty, each consisting of four stages. Championship mode presents an eight-race tournament with points awarded for top-three finishes, while Time Trial mode focuses on racing against the clock or another vehicle for the fastest time.
