And unless you're a really horrible driver, you'll probably be able to repair each of the systems to full operation before the next race starts. [7], The game also included an easter egg in the form of an alien abduction scene where the player's car is beamed upwards into a ship on certain special stages upon activating a cheat code, parodying the alleged abduction of Barney and Betty Hill by extraterrestrials in 1961. This article is about the video game series. Pick one of the eight cars initially available and choose from 3 different game modes. It is the first game in the Colin McRae Rally series.

[25][26] Edge praised the PS version's authentic simulation, but commented that graphical glitches sometimes occurred. The biggest difference comes between the 2WD and 4WD models. It is the first game in the Colin McRae Rally series. Adequate attention paid to detail and accurate and responsive damage modeling are some of the more positive features of the disappointing graphic palette here. Codemasters has included an collection of fifty two tracks set over five countries including Greece, United Kingdom, Sweden and Australia. Still there's something relaxing about being the only one on the track. IGN ranked it as the 91st best PlayStation 2 game. Although it can be slightly frustrating to finish the entire driving school, it is a must if you want to know what you're doing out on the open road. Apple's switch to Intel Macs, some behind-the-scenes changes at Feral and other issues conspired to keep Colin McRae Rally Mac from being released until fairly late into 2007, despite it being based on PC-game underpinnings that Windows gamers had been enjoying since late 2004. All of the cars' liveries are either fictitious or taken from championships other than the WRC. The split screen mode just isn't practical anymore, as no one really likes crowding around one monitor.

It features 8 official cars (and their drivers) and rallies from the 1998 World Rally Championship season, in addition to 4 extra cars. [18] IGN were split, praising the PlayStation version's skill-based nature and its strong simulation,[20] but also criticizing the PC version for being less exciting than traditional games. The 12 authentic rally cars include models from such manufacturers as Subaru, Ford, Toyota, Renault, and Mitsubishi. [5] The company initially had some reservations on the viability of a realistic rally simulator, as similar games of the period such as V-Rally are only loosely based on the sport, essentially being head-to-head racing games in a rally-esque setting similar to rallycross; such an arcade mode would later be introduced in Colin McRae Rally 2.0.
