    The crappy force-feedback effects and poor controller support (both my FF joysticks proved useless for playing the game) are sharp reminders of CMR 2005's console roots. [Holiday 2004, p.96]

    That rock is the rocking arcade rally game "Rallisport Challenge 2," which offers better visuals, a more tangible driving sensation and arguably the best online support ever seen in a racing game. That hard place is "Richard Burns Rally," which has established itself as easily the most realistic (not to mention difficult) rally game. In the wake of these two triple-A titles, Colin McRae 2005 comes off feeling a little too tired to remain the pinnacle of rally gaming.

    The fifth in the Colin McRae series is still a fine game if - and here's the major caveat - you didn't play last year's update. Those who did will get more fun out of playing spot the difference. [Nov 2004, p.107]

    Стандартное продолжение самой зрелищной и знаменитой серии раллийных гонок.

    Bloody awful is all i can say... The sound effects are terrible, the sound of the engine really starts to get on your nerves and sounds Bloody awful is all i can say... The sound effects are terrible, the sound of the engine really starts to get on your nerves and sounds nothing like a rally car... sure the graphics look nice but the replays make the car look like its floating. The handling is also very unrealistic and just dosent seem to look right. IMHO colin mcrae 2005 is a step in the wrong direction.. come on guys, if we're shelling out hard earned cash then at least put some effort into making the game. 29.99 i dont think so 17.99 not even close. i'd give in 10/10 if it was a fiver. BIG THUMBS DOWN… Full Review »

    I love this game! I spent hours on it and had an amazing time. Sometimes phisics are kinda weird but it's still good.
