Fun:
Sorry to say this is still not the rally game we die hards have been looking for. The fact it got simultaneous release on the consoles raised a prickle of suspicion then on installation everything is done via keyboard, no mouse control - quick and nasty conversion. It took me a while to figure out how you set up the control options to recognise the joypad and there's no obvious way to exit back to Windows (it's actually Alt-F4 thanks to help I received on a forum).The front end UI is awful.Got it running - one bright note is the only copy protection I can see is that the disc must be in the drive.
Wasn't expecting Crysis 2 graphics, but they're not even as good as Railworks. Sound is not very good either - the Citreon sounds like a GTA SA Slamvan.
Car handling is pants, on a par with GTA Vice City if that, zero physics and no analogue feel at all. I can't see that changing the car setup makes much difference either. Hardly any car manufacturers to choose from - Ford, Citreon and a token Sub. I want to drive a Corsa!
Gameplay is arcade, career mode is little more than an imitation of the Dirt pyramid system. The AI competition makes no mistakes and even on medium level with what I regarded as a good drive, I am struggling to place in the top ten. Unfortunately that means you can't unlock any new levels and end up stuck playing the same track over and over trying to advance. None of the tracks appear to be real world, just generic 6 - 7km incarnations to cater for the 5 minute attention span of the lowest common denominator.
Think I will be loading up Rally Championship (or Richard Burns) for another go and sampling the delights of Hafren Sweetlamb or Pundershaw in all their technical 20+ mile glory. Is it too much to ask for a "proper" rally game?

Fun:
I feel the reviews on Amazon are a little harsh.
For the die hards from Colin McRae 2005, Dirt, Dirt 2 & Grid - this game initially seems a little different - even strange! However compared with Blur - which really is rubbish - this game actuall grows on you.
Initially you have driver assists turned on - as you approach a corner the car breaks before you press that button! However - turn these assists off - THEN the game becomes rather playable.
The stages are all beautifully rendered in their countries typical flora and forna - yes - not ground breaking graphics - but well up to 2009 standards (post directX11 standards although a 2010 game).
As you progress - the stages get more difficult and actually become quite addictive. You need to stick with it to get the rewards.
I will say that it can get a liitle repetitive - when for the final challenge you have to do all the stages previously completed all end to end! However some of the quirks of doing stages perfectly (for example) and with a good time are quite a nice twist.
I've played some driving game howlers (remember Virtua Racing?!) - but this isn't one of them. For the money snap it up and get 20-30 hours of fabulous game play.

Fun:
A poor game, with a dreadfull "console" conversion.
Buy a book to read whilst you wait for the frequent load screens (30-45 sec!) - even when exiting back from a game to a sub menu!
The "car" is very unrealsitic, like stearing a photo of a car superimposed over a track.
Very poor controls, even when you finaly get the controller working (even my "supported" wheel has limitations!)
I have a fast PC (quad core, SLI, etc) and the graphics still has glitches, some odd triangles appearing etc
I paid £17.99 for this, would have felt robbed at 4.99
Sorry, avoid!

WRC - FIA World Rally Championship (PC DVD)
Worst racing game I've ever played.
Can't calibrate G27 with it properly, doesn't work in 3D Surround, awful driving model and buggy.
