Reception

Computer Gaming World in March 1994 reported that Rally{{'}}s graphics were "strong" and that "the night time driving is about the best in any racing simulation". The magazine approved of the navigator voice's use of racing jargon.{{Cite magazine

Citing lack of collision detection, "both sloppy and oversensitive" controls, repeated crashes, lack of drafting, replays, or camera angles, and the competing IndyCar Racing and World Circuit, the magazine concluded that "die-hard racers will want to look elsewhere before considering Rally".{{Cite magazine
