    Codies made too many changes from CMR2 (the front end and in-service menus) and not enough (the graphics!) at the same time.

    Due to its paltry length and lack of decent multiplayer options, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend this game. It is, however, a solid offering.

The only downsides to this game is the overall lack of cars, especially comparing this game to CMR04 and 2005, and the handling model that needs some time to be mastered because of the way cars steer from the center.
