Product Description ------------------- The defining moment for rally video games has been redefined. One of the world's most successful and accled video games has been stripped down, rebuilt and reengineered in Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Starring McRae's Ford Focus as one of the 12 rally cars accurately recreated in the game, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 delivers all the speed of rally driving. Created with close attention to detail, all the effects add greatly to the realism of the game as spoilers can crack, the back bumper can break off from one corner so that it drags along the ground and windscreens can shatter It's man and machine against the elements as weather effects vary through each track and are randomly generated, appropriate to each country. Race a country and you will experience one set of weather conditions, race it again and experience another completely different set of conditions. .co.uk Review ------------- The world of Rally Driving is an interesting one. Get a car that is virtually the same as a standard road-going vehicle, and then drive it as fast as you can along a dirt track with hairpin bends, fjords, and basically terrain that the car wouldn't take too kindly to. Sounds like fun, you say. Colin McRae Rally 2 from Codemasters tries to recreate that sense of fun. Coming into a field that is already jam-packed with great titles like V-Rally 2 ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004UBRB/${0} ) and the original Colin McRae ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004SQNY/${0} ), it has somehow managed to produce the goods not only in the form of a game that does what it does well, but also introduces new ideas to what is a rather staid format. Every little detail has been taken care of, whether it's the presentation of the Wipeout3 looking option screens, or the dents on your car as you hurtle around the courses. 12 different cars and over 80 new rally tracks in 8 countries to choose from will keep you busy. If this doesn't satisfy, then perhaps the inclusion of a large multiplayer section within the game, where you have the option to race six people in a tag team scenario, will. Colin McRae Rally 2.0 advances the original Colin McRae Rally. Improved graphics and better, more realistic gameplay has allowed this game to be among the greats when it comes to quality rally driving. If you a rally fan, then it's well worth the investment. If however, you believe that once you've played one rally game, you've played them all, it's probably best to steer clear of this one and stick to the one you've already got. --Stuart Miles
