Colin Mcrae 04

Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay

Weakness: Not unique at all

This game is alright. The graphics are pretty nice, and the gameplay works well with the xbox controller. The only problem is, I've seen all the stuff in this game before. If you like racing games ALOT, you will like this one. If you're not normally a racing fan, I don't see anything special about this game to make you want it.

Get your race on!

Strengths: Excellent controls and superb graphics and effects.

Weakness: No on-line gameplay, music is bland, limited multi-car racing.

This is an excellent rally racing game. The controls can be somewhat complex to set-up but the process is quick and easy. The cars in the game are very well detailed, and the damage and effects effects are awesome, with much more detail than most other racing games. I really loved the dirt effects, having a clean car at the start of a race, and then a beat-up and very muddy dirty car at the end...

Colin McRae Rally 04

Strengths: Good graphics, very realistic gameplay, good sounds

Weakness: Not for the arcade race driver, no full XBL support

Colin McRae Rally 04 is an extremely well done racing sim for rally racing. This isn't an arcade racer, as it tries very well to capture the small nuances of rally racing, including adjusting your car for each track. Cars show damage well and the environmental effects are well done. This isn't an arcade racer, each race requires careful planning of the car's setup before the race, and attention...

Colin McRae Rally 04

Strengths: Realistic rally racing; wide variety of tracks; good graphics detail; very good sound

Weakness: Minimal multiplayer support; scoreboard-only support for Xbox Live

Colin McRae Rally 04 remains true to rally racing. You race against the times posted by other drivers -- not against other drivers simultaneously. Meticulous attention to detail can be seen throughout the game. Here are some examples: your car shows increasing damage when wrecked; the sound effects are different depending on your view (in car or out of car); when it rains, you see the drops on...

Colin McRae Rally 04

Strengths: Real simulation, not arcade

Weakness: None found so far

Colin McRae has been and remains the reference for true rally racing simulation. The 2004 version stands high in the ranks of great fun. It takes a while to get used to the handling of the car but once you have it, the fun keeps on coming, even more with 2 players. Love it and highly recommends it.

Colin McRae Rally 04 (xbox)

If this sounds familiar, then you're most likely an Irvine Welsh fan, a soft-spoken Glaswegian, or a member of that refined breed of gamer who has had the unique joy of playing past incarnations of Codemasters' widely acclaimed Colin McRae Rally.

Colin McRae Rally 04

Much like soccer, rally racing is appreciated internationally but its widely entertaining appeal is slowly creeping into the minds of American sports fanatics. Sure we’re more of a NASCAR culture but we can’t help but feel love for an automotive sports event that pits racecar drivers against the rough elements of an unpaved road. Once again, Codemasters gives us another rally racing game and...

Colin McRae Rally 04 (xbox)

Rally racing might be one of the most competitive sub-genres in videogames, but even so, Codemasters' Colin McRae Rally 04 has got to be at or near the top of any serious list of contenders. Exclusive to Xbox in North America, Colin McRae 4 comes in as a 19.99 budget title that could very well be one of the best values on any system. The game may be offered at a reduced rate, but all of the...
