Colin McRae Rally (PC) Reviews

McRae's dominance of the 1998 season was excellent news for Codemaster's official video game of the Subaru driver - Colin McRae Rally for PC. Already highly praised in the games press from early code demonstrations, Codemasters grabbed support for the title with a £2million European marketing campaign. Colin McRae Rally was ...  Read the complete review

The original entry in the mighty Colin McRae Rally series, which dates from the almost prehistoric days of 1998 when the late champion was at the height of his glittering career, is one of those games that occupies the middle ground between all-out simulation and knockabout arcade action. It's easy to pick up and play, but doing well, ...  Read the complete review

I found out about Colin McRae Rally by a review on DooYoo last month so because everyone thought it was good I went out to virgin and got it. I started playing it that day and found it quite addictive because it was so good! The graphics for the game are superb, the scrolling of the game and scenery is really smooth, the ...  Read the complete review

Despite CMR2 being out now I have not played it much and so in my opinion the original is the greatest rally game ever to grace the PC. The graphics are superb, the sound, with Nicky Grist co-driving, is great. It is all the official liveries and drivers, except for a Mitsubishi driver who appears instead of a certain Finnish World ...  Read the complete review

Excellent from Head to Toe. Inspirational in a word. If you are unsure about rally games and just want to try the genre then this is for you. It's also for hardcore drivers. It's just so good I don't know where to start or finish. I never owned this game, I just borrowed this game, or rather my brother did. I ...  Read the complete review

Colin Mcrae rally is a great game but difficult at that these cheats should help you!!! When Doing A Night Stage, Here Is A Good Trick. Pause At The Start And Turn The Brightness Of The TV Up Between 20 And 30 Points (On A Digital Brightness Control) Or Just Turn The Knob Up A Few Turns. This Will Make It A Lot Easier To See ...  Read the complete review

I bought Colin McRae Rally after playing a demo of the game on a friends PC. When I got the game home and tried to play it on my computer I was a bit disappointed to find that despite having a Pentium 266 and a Voodoo Banshee graphics card the game was too jerky to play unless I switched off every graphical feature available and the game ...  Read the complete review

I have always love driving and it seemed much interesting to be able to visualise yourself driving a rally car. I've played this game on my Pentium III 500 MHz. Graphics was excellent. I personnally loves the introduction. And the gameplay was good, as good as it can gets playing racing type of game. The graphics was excellent, the ...  Read the complete review

Fantastic! - If they ever release Colim McRae Rally 2 for the PC it will have to be pretty spectacular to beat this. As you race through the forests and roads of Sweden, Corsica, Austrialia etc you really feel the atmosphere, you will be leaning into corners, stamping on the brakes and closing you eyes when you flip the car end over ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae's Rally game is a good oldie game. It's graphics aren't too good as things such have trees have tried to be made realistic but just aren't good enough. However, the game play is excellent. Which ever way you try to play this game the handling is excellent making the game play better than i have seen in most ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae Rally is obviously a rally game, which uses the real cars from the 1998 season but doesn’t use the real tracks. The game also has a driving school where if you get to the top level, you can have all the tracks and cars. If you have the cheats though, you can even more tracks. The game has every thing you would expect ...  Read the complete review

If you just a beginer you can start at driving school. With over 52 international stages to burn ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae Rally, whilst now it may be a bit out of date in terms of teams, and other game data, it has what any self respecting gamer should be looking for - game play, Colin McRae Rally delivers it by the bucket load, and then brings in the wheel barrow full of addiction that goes down a treat! You cannot help but try for the world ...  Read the complete review

Colin Mcrae Rally is the best rally driving available on the PC to date. It is totally addictive, relatively realistic, and one of the most playable games on the PC. It even has a driving school, which actually challenges players at the advanced levels, as opposed to other games, whose idea of learning is doing a practise lap or going ...  Read the complete review

Colin Mcrae has got to be the most boring person alive, I mean the commentry he does for the driving school part of Colin Mcrae Rally is absolutely terrible!! Lucky the rest of the game is abbbbbsolutely brilliant really!! I first played Colin Mcrae Rally on the Playstation, and though it was brilliant then too, which is why I made the ...  Read the complete review

I have played through a world rally many times now becuase I like it so much. The car handles like a real car and can be set up to handle in any desirable way (and many undesirale ways). Car setup such as tires and gearing can be changed to make a big difference, but detail goes as far as suspesion stiffness, Steering sensitivity and ...  Read the complete review

Probably the best driving game produced. It is by far the best rally sim around and has bee released on budget too! This game has excellent graphics and gameplay and for those of us with little or no driving ability it has a useful rally school to help you out, this game simply has everything. The game is however limited by ...  Read the complete review

This game is a bit old now. Available on budget it’s worth it if you can’t run the latest rally games and must have one. The graphics are very dated but the gameplay is still there and with a steering wheel it kicks. I know it’s been overshadowed by Rally Championship, but as a budget game it’s well worth it. ...  Read the complete review

I'm driving down a country lane at 100 mph in an ordinary road car. There is a bend ahead, and like a complete fool, I am going to handbrake turn around it. Have I lost my marbles? Probably! This is Colin McRae Rally. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel, but for now, this will have to do! The graphics ...  Read the complete review

Although this game has been out for several years, it is still a big hit and thousandsof people still play it. I got it at Christmas and I was really impressed at the graphics considering how old it was. It is really challenging all the way through and the excitment of the race never goes. After a while you will really start to get good ...  Read the complete review
