3.0 out of 5 stars
Hmmm, disappointed.,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: CRC Cross Racing Championship 2005 (PC CD) (Video Game)
I obtained the demo version for this game just a few weeks ago, and decided to purchase this full version. I was disappointed to learn that the German track circuit doesn't feature at all and you don't have the Revo GT car, either. The installation was quick and simple, you need to reboot your computer afterwards and have the disc in your drive to start the game. Invictus, the developers, are based in Hungary and one of the dirt tracks available is set in their country, the other areas covered are the UK, France and Finland (which was locked - until you moved up the career ladder). All of the routes in some areas were very dark, caused by too much shadow from the overhanging trees, subsequently, until you had driven the routes a few times and could remember exactly where these patches of shadow were, your car veered off the road, at 70 mph!!!
You start off with a career mode, quick race, time trials, free ride and also something called hot seat mode (which I didn't manage to try) as I spent most of my time in the championship mode. The cross racing on all the courses is based on road racing and a dirt track circuit, you commence with 2 vehicles, a Quadro AD and a Corus, there are about 36 different skins to choose from to place on your cars and plenty of options for changing your drivers, tyres, engine tuning, steering, etc, etc, however, there aren't any other vehicles to play with, which seemed rather strange. The tracks themselves, that you can play on, are very well created with excellent graphics for the road conditions (not a great deal of dust on the dirt tracks, which was nice) and surrounding scenery, forests of trees, villages and buildings, bird songs, spectators and plenty of static eye candy and good road signage. You get a replay of every race from a wide variety of camera positions, and even though this game is a bit dated now (2005) the graphics handle very well, on my current computer, however, the engine sounds are a bit weak and watery and you have that obligatory annoying commentator, which, you have the option of turning off, which I did poste haste. So, for the fun driving element, the scenery, track conditions and various changeable options, I'd give it 5 stars, but, for the shadows, the severe lack of different vehicles, the missing German race circuit, stupid commentator and a very lengthy sponsorship video at every start, knocks it down to just 3 stars. This looked a hugely promising game initially, but, was never exploited enough by the developers and was never built upon, which is a great pity really by today's standards as it would have been another nice product in the niche computer playing rallying world.
