This game is just spectacular, in its own right. Its a rally racer, so please, understand that its not GT touring, track or drag racing. Its Rally :)
You will be tearing down a dirt road, most likely sideways, while avoiding falling over a cliff-face. Colin/McRae is an extremely realistic rally simulator. The steering feels right. Navigation by a copilot is great. Most surprising are the game physics. If a car is pushed, it can easily flip over, smash nose first from a jump, or even have the entire bodywork get smashed off (and left behind).
IF MORE PEOPLE BOUGHT AND PLAYED THIS GAME IT WOULD BE UPDATED PROPERLY...as any proper racer would.
This developer has some really great racing games that are very popular.
Maybe if they build it, more will come.
The game desperately needs more:
Options
Features
Multiplayer
Interface improvement
Career tracking
Directions within/Ways to go about a campaign
Cars
Liveries
Control options
And so much more...
