    Sucks. Screen is washed out bright white, can't see anything but the grass. NO SUPPORT. Don't buy this game.

    Stellar graphics and first rate handling are crippled by lousy framerates. This game was for the most part unplayable on my P4 3.0 with 2 gig ram and 7800 GSOC agp card. I was terribly disapointed. I had waited a long time to get my hands on this game. Oh well.

    This game is the worst rally game I've ever played, pretty graphics can't hide the poor physics of the game mechanics. A 2 year old may enjoy this but for those who demand some realism in the handling of the car then stay well clear of this game. Its a shame because had the physics been good and combined with the pretty graphics this might have been ok but as we all know, This game is the worst rally game I've ever played, pretty graphics can't hide the poor physics of the game mechanics.

Its a shame because had the physics been good and combined with the pretty graphics this might have been ok but as we all know, graphics do not make a game alone especially in sim racing type games. I completed just 6% of this game and now uninstalled it, it's that bad. Obviously the people who have voted 9-10 have no idea about these types of games and so i suggest to anyone wanting this sort of rally game, go and but Richard Burns rally or Colin Mcrae Rally or Even RFactor or GTR2, just avoid this pile of junk.… Expand

    Tiens, j'ignorais que Techland avait démoulé des cakes pareils avant de se cantonner à leurs jeux de zombis de mes deux... un jeu de rallye, ah bah ça alors...! un jeu de rallye oui mais sans aucune licence parce que ça coûte du pognon les licences et le pognon, c'est cher. Mais on va imaginer le reste et imaginer qu'on est tombé sur un "bon" jeu de rallye... sans licence.

    Mais ça,    Tiens, j'ignorais que Techland avait démoulé des cakes pareils avant de se cantonner à leurs jeux de zombis de mes deux... un jeu de rallye, ah bah ça alors...! un jeu de rallye oui mais sans aucune licence parce que ça coûte du pognon les licences et le pognon, c'est cher. Mais on va imaginer le reste et imaginer qu'on est tombé sur un "bon" jeu de rallye... sans licence.

    Mais ça, c'est plus difficile, beaucoup plus difficile, car la réalité vous saute au visage... déjà que pour le lancer, il faut patcher en 1.1 obligatoirement sinon la protection de la galette ne reconnaît pas la galette et on ne trouve pas la fève. Et on reste un paysan. Et bien sûr, Xpand truc ne marche pas sur 7 mais sur XP, ça va (quand même). Et il est seulement en 4/3. Mais pas trop vilain graphiquement (enfin, faut pas être trop difficile).

    Les effets sonores sont par contre bien vilains, eux : c'est vraiment pas terrible et toutes les bagnoles ont le même bruit un peu pourri. Elles ont aussi toutes le même comportement : la bagnole pivote simplement sur son axe et ça se con-duit bien mieux en vue externe, signe que c'est très arcade.. ah non, le jeu indique "simulation" ! t'es sérieux là ? t'as bu trop de vodka, mon gars ! on ose même pas "imaginer" le mode arcade dans ce cas... non, on ne veut pas.

    Donc finalement, on s'ennuie bien vite dans ce pseudo-jeu à la godille... ce n'est pourtant pas complètement nul, on va pas mettre zéro à ce jeu d'alcooliques tout de même ! alors un point, ça ira largement je crois. Sans être (trop) laxiste bien sûr !    … Expand

    The visuals are absolutely breathtaking, whether it is the incredible lighting effects, lush environments, or the fine details that are often overlooked by other games, XR delivers.

    Its resplendent scenery, changeable weather, and exquisite lighting and particle effects are absolutely mesmerizing. [Holiday 2004, p.104]

    This is a great game, be you avid rally fan or a novice to the sport, this game offers something fun for all takers. If you have a PC that can handle the game and you like racing games in the least I would have to recommend you take a look at this title.
