...Well what can i say Colin Mcrae is back with another jam packed game, and what a good game it is. It the challenge to another level. **The Cars** Ford Focus Subary Impreza WRX Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 Citron Xsara Rally Car Lancer Evolution Audi Sport Lancia Delta Toyota Celica Mg 6R4 Also inculded is 4WD, Group B and Classic Cars **Stages and Content** Theres loads of extra stages with this game which are all excellant to play.

The handling of cars in previous editions has always been spot on, but the makers have again improved this even further. As someone who has driven rally cars for real I can testify that this games handling is by far the most realistic out of all other rally games. With hundreds of different variations of track surface... Read review
