As for the PC game specs, your guess is as good as mine since my copy didn’tlist any.
“Ugly bloke, ugly bloke, now we salute him…”.
Colin McRae isn’t the most handsome of sportsmen but he’s got his owngame series so what does he care? However, although I never played the prequelto this, I still can’t see what makes this in any particular way differentfrom V-Rally or many other recent driving games.
There’s a rally mode, an arcade mode, plus single race and championship variantsin each, as well as the ability to play against others on the internet,providing you can get it to work!
Get from A to B, trying to beat the other cars on the track although theytend to shoot ahead without giving you a chance… and that’s it.
The graphics are reasonable but offer nothing over what we’ve seen beforeand don’t give you that all-necessary feeling of speed,while the sound doesn’t help matters with a grating car engine and a tinnyvoice trying to point you in the right direction.
It’s all too easy for your car to swerve about all over the place and youcan’t drive too far from the beaten track which limits the sense of freedom.A replay mode is available, showing your car from preset angles aroundthe tracks, just like every other game with this feature. Yawn!
