Driving Discrimination

Dear Future Gamer

When I saw that you gave Sega Rally 2 on the Dreamcast 85%, I thought that was alright, but I thought perhaps you were very hard on games in general. Then I saw that you gave V-Rally 2 on the PlayStation 92%, and you found many flaws in the latter review but couldn't find one little niggle in the former. I think this shows a high level of discrimination against Sega and a lot of bias towards Sony. Please explain.

FG: We've got absolutely no anti-Sega bias, Rob. We gave Sega Rally 2 85% because we were slightly disappointed with it. Personally, I think the Saturn version is better, and I would have said this if it were a PlayStation game, or an N64 or PC game. V-Rally 2 scored more because it's a better game, simple as that. Good games get better scores in Future Gamer, irrespective of their platform.
