    It is so good you’ll find it difficult to put down.

    The pros (gameplay modes, physics model, single cartridge multiplayer) definitely outweight the cons (bad menu, low-res textures).
  3. Nintendophiles

    Simply the pinnacle of portable racing so far. Sure, there’s more to come in the genre, but this game is the definition of perfection. Developer Spellbound and publisher Ubi Soft really outdid themselves with this one and it shows.

    The only thing about these simple controls is that the game’s response seems too sensitive to each use of the d-pad. Simple, and yet, they still have some gripes.

    The visuals constitute as the most appealing part of Colin McRae 2.0. Compared to other racers I've seen, the car models in here are a phenomenal improvement.

    Though hardware limitations prevent the game from packing quite the same punch as its console brethren, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 is still a perfect fit for those with a vested interest in having a little rally action on the go.

    The repetitive, been there, done that track design bring this racer to a screeching halt. Fun? Yes. Long-lasting entertainment? No.

    The six-track game lays down plenty of twists and turns, and the spoken warnings from the navigator are a nice, helpful touch. [Oct 2002, p.198]

Graficamente competente, incluso cuenta con repeticiones al final de cada etapa con distintos angulos de camara para que veas donde fallas. Carreras variadas y control muy bueno. Lo unico es que la dificultad es excesiva en algunas etapas, incluso en nivel intermedio puede ser muy dificil quedar primero en etapas de hielo y nieve, ni aprendiendotelas de memoria y encontrando atajos. Diría que es menos divertido que V Rally-3, que es mas arcade. Este es mas simulador. En cuanto a realismo en la conduccion, no existe otro juego en GBA que le llegue a la suela del zapato.… Full Review »

    Decent, but the combination of the GBA's button layout and the game's overly twitch control means frustration for most players.

Graphics are also sorely lacking, though the co-driver's calls are well-done, if sometimes a bit late. … Full Review »
