SEGA Rally Online Arcade release date

Classic racer returns on XBLA this month.

SEGA Rally Online Arcade pulls into Xbox Live Arcade on 18th May, Microsoft has confirmed.

As detailed on Major Nelson's blog, you'll need to scrape together 800 Points.

First announced back in January, it's a blend of 2007 console title SEGA Rally and its arcade machine counterpart.

Championship Battle and Time Attack return, along with a new online mode that lets you race against up to five other drivers. There's also a new achievement system, online leaderboards and 13 different cars to pick from.

The game is also destined for PlayStation Network but there's no word yet on when Sony customers will be able to get behind the wheel.
