Colin McRae Rally 2 (PC) Reviews

OVERVIEW. Ah, the P.C. Racing game is a genre that's overflowing with many mediocre titles, always has and always will be, especially for those who don't like the sight of blood in their games. Codemasters speciality is sports simulations, and whenever they release a new one they seem to gain critical acclaim from all quarters. From ...  Read the complete review

I have decided to expand my repertoire to computer games today. So I decided to write about my favourite rally game (come to think about it, it is the only rally game I have ever played!) It is really an eye-catching and very good game that makes you feel like you are actually in the car, fighting to steer it round the tracks. So, now that I have ...  Read the complete review

First Impressions: It was way back in December 2000 when I was in India. My father often used to visit London, and on one of his visits brought along an issue of PC Gameplay (a very famous magazine in the UK). As the rules go, the magazine had 2 CDs packed with demos of the latest games. One of these demos was of Colin McRae Rally 2.0, which I ...  Read the complete review

Featuring a completely overhauled graphics engine, the sequel sports advanced imaging techniques like hardware T&L (transform and lighting) and cubic environment mapping. The new graphics engine even goes so far as to cast real-time shadows for every single tree and roadside structure in the game. The postcard-worthy backdrops are fronted ...  Read the complete review

I just bought this game and this is what i have to say about it: I, myself was not into racing game, I don't like cars really that much, and the fact people get excitment out of a car going round and round some bumpy roads, didn't appeal to me. But, remembering it wasn't for me. I did buy it. However, this game ...  Read the complete review

Colin Mcrae 2 is the best racing games ever. The design has been changed severely since the first Colin Mcrae, noe it has smart and nicely designed menus and superb control of the car set-up. You better find your PC-steering wheel, blow the dust of your Force Feedback and find your coolest sunglasses because Codemasters has rely ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae Rally II... Touted as the best driving game ever, this is the sequel to the smash hit Codemasters game Colin McRae Rally, which broke just about every record there was when first released. Setting a precedent for visuals, style, playability and a complete new level for driving games, any sequel was going to be a tough task. ...  Read the complete review

This is game has all of the features we expect to get from a pure quality driving game. The graphics are perfect, gameplay is easy to handle and hard to master and the effects are really good, the way the car gets destroyed without blowing is a step up from older driving games. It used to be at 2 ends of the scale. Either the car stays in perfect ...  Read the complete review

Though it offered its fair share of thrills, last year's Colin McRae Rally simply didn't stand up to Mobil 1 Rally Championship as the game of choice for serious rally racing fans, due largely to its somewhat dated graphics and a physics model that was too forgiving. But Codemasters addressed both those issues when designing Colin McRae ...  Read the complete review

Rally racing is my favourite gaming genre. I inserted the CD, minimum installation (6 Megabytes on your HD,..geez!...Medium installation is 410 MB already!). The game begins. welldone intro-movie, then the game menu. You can choose bunch of options, Rally, Arcade, and all the configuration stuff. Selecting "Arcade" you choose your ...  Read the complete review

What can I say? This game is far, far better than the original (which was great), and it is by far the most realistic rally game on the market. Rally games are great fun, as you get to through the worlds greatest cars around muddy, dusty and snowy tracks from all over the world. There are other driving games such as formula one games and ...  Read the complete review

The original was great, this sequel is even better! If you’re into rally games, or even just racing games in general, this is a must have to your collection. The game comes in a DVD style case (much better than having a massive box) with a fairly brief but informative manual, or though you probably won’t need it. I ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be the most realistic rally sim, ever to have driven onto the PC driving course. The cars fly along straights at 100 miles an hour, smashing into a tree and wreckin the car in an instant. Then you hit a corner, hit the brakes and powerslide round the corver. Nothing demonstrates this better than a ride on the Snow covered rally, ...  Read the complete review

This is actually the sound of my Peugeot 206's engine waiting green light to start rallying this impressive game. Codemasters disappointed me in the past with some of its rally games, but this time, this is another story! Colin McRae 2 is a must have if you talk about Rally games or even Race games. Basic options are ...  Read the complete review

The hugely successful Colin McRae Rally hit the number one spot in charts across Europe when it launched a couple of years ago. Two years later and Codemasters have done it again, except this time; Colin McRae Rally 2 is twice as better. When I first played this game, the first thing I noticed were the improvements in the graphics, and ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae Rally 2 is a vast improvement on the original – the game is an absolute 100% classic and should be played by many people! I have the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel, which makes the rally experience even better, and so the PC version is so much more spectacular than the PSX version – I have both, the PSX game came ...  Read the complete review

A good game but very hard for the inexperianced. The cars slide about on all the different tracks even in the novice selection. You need to be very good indeed to open up all the tracks and cars without a cheat code (which i am looking for desperatley) Good overall but the sections are too short and very much the same for each one. Some ...  Read the complete review

I have played on many rally games in my time but this, Colin Mcrae Rally 2, combines terrifying realism with up to date graphics that will blow you away. There are many cars that you can drive and over 90 new rally tracks added onto the old version. The realism is astounding and it sets new standards in rallying realism, the performance is ...  Read the complete review

Codemasters always produce the best in racing games on any system; TOCA, Micro Machines, Colin McRae etc. All the games have set the standard for racing games. The Colin McRae games have defiantly set the standard in rallying games. The first Colin McRae game was brilliant the physics were spot on, the rally cars slid in the mud ...  Read the complete review

The original Colin McRae Rally was released a couple of years ago now and when it was it set new standards for rally gaming with its superb graphics,gameplay and sounds. Rally gaming hadn`t really took off at this point the only one worth talking about at the time CMR was released was Network Q Rally Championship which had become very outdated as ...  Read the complete review
