    The game is very good if you're planning of playing alone! The career system is well done. The only reason why it's not a 10 is because the multiplayer isn't very good.

    AMAZING graphics, Great single player action and outstanding physics. I've played a lot of racing games and this one just feels right. The courses are varied and detailed and there are plenty of them to keep you busy.

    Great single player experience......but do not be fooled by the multi player aspect.....it is one racer at a time....not true multi player. As a multi player game it is VERY lacking, but as a single player game it is outstanding.

    The BEST rally game on PS2!! Career mode is awesome(way better than any other) and theres also single rally and a challenge mode where u get a car or a selection to beat the comp.

    I played this game in 2013 and really like it! Cool graphics for PlayStation 2, nice cars and an interesting gameplay. It is a bit hard at first but then you get used to.

    I liked it, it's fun and a very arcade gameplay, it just lacked more smoothness and weight in the movement of the car because it looks like a cashier moving! The movement of the car is horrible

  1. It could have been a great driving sim were it not marred by its poor control.

    The feeling of brute force in even the smallest of cars is wonderful... Gearheads will love it. [Jan 2003, p.132]

    Fans of both the series and racing titles will lap this up (no pun intended).
