Perhaps surprisingly, there haven't been that many Harley Davidson games released over the years. Unfortunately, the ones that have made it to store shelves have been dull, dry efforts. However, none have been so bland, ridiculous, and shoddily executed as Harley Davidson Race to the Rally. It's a terrible game in practically every way, and if you spend even three seconds reading the title of this game while perusing the shelves of your local game store, you've given this game too much of your time.The mystique around the Harley Davidson brand of motorcycles seems to revolve more around enjoying the journey, rather than getting to your destination as quickly as possible. So a Harley racing game probably doesn't even make that much sense in the first place. It makes even less sense when executed in Race to the Rally, thanks to an atrocious driving and physics model that manages to be utterly bland and ridiculously over the top at the same time. The actual act of riding the bike is an exercise in tedium, as boring, repetitive textures pass you by at a lazy clip, punctuated by a constantly skipping frame rate that looks more like stop-motion video than a game. The sense of speed is nonexistent, even if your virtual odometer reads in excess of 120mph. Only when you kick in with the seemingly ever-present boost option (by holding down the R1 button) does the pace pick up, and even then, it's only a slight improvement.
