    The Best graphics on PSOne and some of the best gameplay on Earth.

    A truly remarkable racing game. Honestly I prefer it to "Gran Turismo 2" because its gameplay is really addictive, challenging, simply great! You will not stop playing this one, until you buy a PS2 and wait for Colin Mcrae Rally 3! Let's dream, dream, dream...

    Whoa! Racing games have never been as engrossing as this. Once you get the hang of it, CMR2.0 has you glued to the screen, trying to shave off that extra nanosecond off your time, making sure you listen to your codriver, and REALLY, REALLY paying attention to what's going on, moreso than any other racing game ever. Really top-shelf stuff from the Codies.

    Juego que introdujo mecánicas de simulación con una jugabilidad arcade. Está bien balanceada su dificultada lo que lo hace bastante entretenido.

    My first racing game ever, and I absolutely loved it as a kid. The racing itself was very good but I liked it even more thanks to the special races where damages to the car had to be repaired on limited budget.

    My first Ps1 game. Loved every second of it even though I never completed it and also loved the introductions to each rally by Colin himself. One of the best rally games ever. RIP Colin

    Colin McRae Rally 2.0 made me fall in love with cars as a kid. It has funny graphics compared to today games but I was top notch product back in the time of PS1.

    This game takes everything awesome from it's predecessor and makes it better. Car physics is on par with modern games. Environments are rich and look gorgeous on PS1. Surely one of the best driving experiences of the era

    Arcade racing aficionados might be daunted by the learning curve, but sim fans will find enough depth here to keep playing for a long, long time.

    McRae games were and are the best. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    In every single way, CMR 2.0 just crushes the competition. Every aspect of the game has been improved upon and is delivered in a top quality product. Codemasters once again has created the best rally game on the planet with Colin McRae Rally 2.0.
