		It is also noteworthy that the Paris Dakar Rally is the toughest motor sport event in the world, with a finish rate of about 25-30%.
		The first part of the route to Barcelona took us through the centre of Paris past all the famous landmarks, and it was lined with enthusiastic rally supporters for mile after mile.
		Other Rally vehicles could be seen traveling in the same direction as us both to the left and right of us for as far as the eye could see, and we knew that this was the right heading, so we carried on and kept a sharp lockout for the landmark that we wanted to see.

		As such, the fact that Paris-Dakar Rally is a rally title at heart also means that it's chock-full of extraordinarily repetitive and dull stretches of terrain.
		If only Paris-Dakar Rally were an exact copy of Test Drive: V-Rally.
		Thanks to a visible draw-in plane, blurry textures, and woefully simplistic polygonal scenery, the 10 locations--ranging from Paris, France, to Dakar in Senegal--run the gamut from just plain to just plain ugly.

	IGN: Paris-Dakar Rally Review
		I mean, unlike Colin McRae Rally, which offers a stunning physics model, subtle, precise control, an incredible variety of courses, and great vehicle deformation, Paris-Dakar...well, it has its own special deal.
		Visit GameStats for the latest Paris-Dakar Rally ratings and rankings
		It's a totally weak rally game through and through, with bad control, no real sense of rally driving (unless you like to feel completely out of control), and despite the offerings of four different vehicles being offered, not one of the experiences is a good one.
