The Navigator's Seat Finally Gets Its Own Game

A forthcoming title called "Left! Left! Left!" hands the player the job every rally enthusiast quietly covets, which is reading the pace notes rather than holding the wheel. You call the road ahead out loud and the game listens, while dirt is flung across your view to sell the feeling of a stage going past at speed. Its makers have built it for enjoyment first, the kind of thing a collector might put in front of guests after a garage tour rather than a simulator that demands a weekend of study. It is a welcome nod to the person in the right-hand seat, whose voice is as much a part of a fast stage time as the driver's hands.
