Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am very impressed with Colin McRae Rally. It provides an all around great gaming experience.
In the game itself, the tracks are widely varied in both their look and feel. If you have a force feedback controller you'll really appreciate the different surfaces. The cars have noticeable handling differences and setting them up for a particular surface/weather combination requires some work. The icing on the cake are the verbal calls from your navigator letting you know about the track up ahead.
As other reviews have mentioned, the damange model is very cool. You can hear and see the damaged parts of your car. Windows break, hoods crumple and bumpers drag on the ground. I've also noticed that if your electric system is damanged you'll occassionally find yourself driving along with a turn signal running. You might also see your headlights fail -- not fun on a night course.
That said, I was still looking for more out of the damange model. I regularly slam the passenger side of the car into a tree.. I was expecting my navigator to be "damanged" after some of those hits. :) Also, I was never able to get a car to completely break down. I don't know if there is a way to DNF in this game.
The 3 skill levels seem non-linear in difficulty. On the lowest level it is pretty easy to win the championship, but as soon as you jump to "intermediate" your competition gets substantially better and it is difficult to pull off top finishes.
One last gripe about the gameplay... when flip the car or go off the road you are immediately returned the road and continue the race. Even if you can't DNF, there should be some sort of large time penalty.
All in all a great game. The gameplay is a lot of fun and it will give your force feedback wheel quite a workout. I've even found the car control I learned in this game helped in other racing sims.
