Summary:
The best rally game until Colin McRae 3. If you like rally sport, you will love this. The first Colin McRae game was criticised for being accurate but boring. This is a hardcore rally game, with the arcade option thrown in for fun against computer opponents on the track at the same time.

Summary:
Certainly worth $10! Picked this up at Elbo after reading some decent reviews. Probably the most fun for the money that I have spent on a computer game. Don't compare this to Nascar or arcade racing with a bunch of other cars on the track. The main goal is racing against the clock on a winding, twisting road of gravel, mud or ice. Learning how to take corners at insane speeds is the key.

Summary:
The first time I played this game I was blow away because of its great game play and the whole game in general. The arcade mode is great just for the fun of it and if you are having some friends over for fun. The champonship mode is for a challenge in your skills. The game is not tough at first but wait till you get to level two. Try out the Colin McRae Rally 3 on PlayStation 2 and on XBOX.

Summary:
If you like ralley racing and you have a faster computer than mine, you won't be disapointed. Grand Turismo 1,2 quality physics with some very nice graphics, (way better than GT 1,2). You can customize cars with simplified slide bars and feel the results on the track. However, If you have a slower computer than mine or are running a big OS, you might not even notice the difference between mud and tarmac unless you turn the graphics down.

The most difficult task game designers face is to optimize the performance of their games, so that maximum realism is available using existing hardware, This game requires a lot of computer and I think CodeMasters could have done a better job.
