Advantages: Its just so much fun

Disadvantages: The 2 player mode is rather pointless

This old game is a classic in my opinion. 5 years after it was released and it is still the only PS2 racing game i play. I've tried various others since like Gran Turismo but they become dull quickly.

What makes this game so good is the sheer thrill of driving, the action is very fast paced and the feel of the drive is gritty and light at the same time. The graphics are a bit outdated but still very impressive.

This game actually made me go out and buy a real Subaru Impreza, thats the influence it had on me. Unlike other driving games you are just racing against the clock which means that the 2 player mode is not much fun. But it doesn't seem to matter in the game itself as you soon get used to racing alone. The courses are very intricate and one tiny mistake can result in a big collision with a tree and ruin a stage. This means that high concentration is needed always.

The rally competitions take place in lots of different countries which really keeps the game interesting.

Summary: Very few games still remain favourites after 5 years = a classic.
