    This game sticks out because it has "Colin McRae" stuck onto the box, and for very little else.

    Thrilling action in the best simulation of a sport unfamiliar to many Americans. Get it, even if you have to import it.

    In trying to appeal to all rally tastes, it ends up not being the very best at much of anything. While the car graphics are outstanding, the other dimensions of this release fail to live up to expectations.

    Good luck beating this monster on Expert difficulty. As long as you can find more time and don't mind putting in the time-attack sessions trying to find speed, this game will last you awhile.

    The artificial intelligence is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    Currently one of the best rally games. There are many things that should be corrected, but it will provide an average rally fanatic with everything he might desire.

    Predictable but top-class racing action. Best enjoyed with friends, and with no expectations of greatness.

    When something is put together that, at first look, seems so simple, yet challenges by pumping the intensity level and challenging players to use their reflexes and brain, it qualifies as a game that is a great experience.

    This is an attractive and challenging game that, unlike so many other racing games, really does penalize you for running the pedal to the metal all the time.

    A well-crafted off-road racer that'll appeal to sim buffs and arcade fans alike. [Apr 2001, p.85]

    If you can work your way around these shortcomings, you'll find that Colin McRae Rally 2.0 is one of the most engrossing racing sims available.

    Much-improved this time around, the only things I can hold against it are the car's questionable propensity to stick to the track even when you steer it markedly off-course, and the rather sizeable learning curve for newcomers.

    For Rally racing fans, this is a must have. For other racing fans it is a great product to introduce you to the adrenaline pumped world of rally car racing.

It's the best of all Colin games and probably the most fun racing game as well. I replayed it last week, finished the rally in one sitting, then moved on to some arcade races and had lots of fun. We will die, but this game won't. Also multiplayer still works, tested it with a friend. You can connect through ITC IP. Pickens approves!… Full Review »
