Features edit

The game features input from nine-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb, who had also won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and competed in the 2013 European Rallycross Championship season. The game features around 300 km of tracks, with 8 different rallies, 5 rallycross tracks (including Lohéac, Circuit Trois-Rivières and Autódromo Rosendo Hernández) and the Pikes Peak track, as well as over 50 car models from 17 manufacturers. There is an in-game livery editor.[3]

Downloadable content edit

A playable demo featuring the Rallye Sanremo was released on the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Games Store on December 24, 2015. As of New Years Day, the demo is not available on Steam.[4] A second demo themed around the Rally Mexico was released in 2016.[5]

Reception edit

JeuxActu stated that "Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo is a nice improvement over the previous rally games from Milestone. With an arcady touch, the game's strength is its content and its ease of use, while more experienced players will head over to Codemasters' Dirt Rally."[9] GameStar agreed, saying that it was a "challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects."[10]

The game reached number 19 in the UK sales charts.[11]
