Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The steering wheel-gripping heart of Colin McRae Rally 2005 is the all-new Career Challenge, which takes players through a full professional rally career, driving the most diverse selection of rally cars. An incredible 23 individual rally events provide a personal challenge with real progression and rewards through a non-linear series of Challenges, Cups, SuperCups, Shields and Championships as you earn the right to complete with the very best.

Launch your career as a privateer but take the lead and progress onto more powerful cars, taking part tests to win further upgrades. Through the 23 events, drivers will be pummelled through a staggering 300+ stages driving cars from 4-wheel drive, 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel Classics, Super 2-wheel, Rear Wheel, Distinctive and 4x4 classics. Beyond the Career Challenge, there's a toy box of rally-fuelled adrenaline racing gaming with its 4WD Championship, Rally, Stages and Online gaming modes.

And just when you thought a McRae game couldn't offer more detail or visual splendour, the game's development team is cramming it in: the new bonnet-cam and an improved chase cam gives a real sensation of speed and undulation. Enhanced damage and scenery visuals include new individual damage models for each car and should you crash into a tree, it'll shudder and even drop leaves!

4.0 out of 5 stars Be Colin..., 6 Oct 2004
Firstly, I should point out that I am new to Xbox and have not played any other version of the Colin McRae games and so I cannot comment on how it fares next to those.
The first thing that strikes you is the in game graphics. The car models are superbly detailed, especially as you damage it (and you will). If you hit a tree, the leaves fall off! pointless, but very nice all the same.
The handling is superb but takes a while to get used to. Expect to crash lots on your first few goes, and unless you are a gaming god, forget a podium finish for a while. That said, when you do get it right, the sense of achievement is huge and the speeds you get up to are frightening!
A negative point is that if you go off road, sometimes you are flashed back onto the road as if you had a huge crash, but if you crash into a tree then you have to get yourself back onto the track resulting in many lost seconds (and usually the race).

This niggle aside, a highly recommended rallying game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Same as it ever was?, 13 Oct 2004
I have not played any other version of this game, so don't know if it is any different to the 2004 title.

I do think that this is a tremendous racing game. The car models are fantastic and they feel like they should in real life (I think!). The learning curve is quite steep initially, but after a rew hours you'll be power sliding when you mean too!

A nice, if somewhat pointless, touch is that the leaves fall off trees if you hit them - a further example of the amazing graphics in this game. The feeling of speed is nicely realised too and you get a real sense of achievement when you obtain your first podium finish.

Elsewhere, all is as it should be: there is loads to unlock, lots of tracks and competitions and enough gameplay to keep you going for months.

Of course, if you've already played/bought the 2004 version, then this is probably a waste of money, even if the career mode is a nice addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars best rally game so far !!!, 20 Dec 2004
If you like the Colin Mcrae games and have played them before this one is the best of them all. There is over 70 tracks all over the world to race such as england, Japan, spain and so on. This game has supurb graphics especially on the cars and you can smash your cars basically until the car is hunk of junk. A must buy game if your into rally and love racing games.
