This game is a brilliant game. If you like racing games you will love this. Even if your not a big fan of racing games you will love this game. The amount of tracks is truely amazing, even though there is a lot of them every single one of them is very good. The graphics are great, its very realistic. You will be stuck playing this game for hours on end. The only bad bit about it is when your not playing it your not very happy. It truely is amazing. A must Buy! :-)

Best of modern car rally type games I have played. good driving model and force feed back, but does not support thrustmaster force feed back wheel with out a complex fix. Graphics are dated but okay. With an up dated graphics package this game would be great

Game's Ok, setting it up ... bigtime, zero stars

It seems as if the developers of this game have never heard of a mouse. It seems as if these guys still prefer to move thru a menu using arrows. In this day and age, setting up a game should not require scrolling thru a menu with arrows on a keyboard.

It would also be very nice if the developers would create a thorough helpfile. In searching for info on how to setup a force feedback steering wheel and brakes/accelerator setup, the manual says to search the CD's readme file. Except there's none there. The Windows Startup button/program reveals a 'help' file that is also useless. Website help files is also useless. These guys need to know how to thoroughly document a help file.

Manual is useless. CD's so called 'HELP' file is not there. Game's Help file is useless. These guys need a lesson on how to develop games for PCs.

So, the only way to play this game on a PC is to use the keyboard's arrow buttons. How quaint!! If you're thinking of using this on a PC with a force feedback steering wheel setup, avoid it at all cost.

No car racing game can touch this

This is hands down the best racing game ever made for any platform. The way the car acts and drives is as close as it gets to real life. Im sick of those fake rally games made by people who have never driven a rally car nor been to a rally. What you see on tv doesnt compare to it in real life and this game gets you very close to real life. I cannot wait for the Third version to come out. This is the best racing game out, gran turismo doesnt even compare to the reality of driving. This game came out long ago and still is the number 1 game out there. Car reaction and game play should be all you need in this game and learning controls or worrying about using a keyboard instead of a mouse tells me your playing the game for the wrong reasons.

Disagree totally with gamer from NYC

This game works great with a force feedback wheel. The setup is very intuitive, you don't really need to read anything. Just set it up man and go! My 14 yr old son had no trouble getting this up and running within minutes. Buy this without fear and enjoy!

The BEST!

Typically, when I view Rally races on TV, it's all about the single lane dirt paths (I hesitate to call them tracks), tight turns, and dense foliage. CMR2 has wider paths and friendlier tracks than I've seen on TV. Don't get me wrong, the combination of the physics (don't roll your car in a corner!), sense of speed, and the animation of the car & the suspension as it traverses an undulating track, this is a must buy. Much like the first, the experience gets better and better the more you play, which says a lot considering the rush you get playing it for the first time. I've read there's other games that capture more of the "simulation" part of Rallying, but if you're just a fan of racing and you'd love go to sliding around gravel corners at 70 MPH, pick this game up.

Wow!

The best rally game ever, Colin McRae Rally, has just been beaten. Colin McRae Rally 2.0 is remarkable in its realistic driving conditions, scenery, road conditions, weather, AI, car damage....the list goes on and on. It's unbelievable how much realism they put in this game and how well it runs on minimal requirements. I have a Voodoo2 and a 300 mhz Pentium II, which doesn't really meet the playing requirements of most modern games, but CMR2 runs almost perfectly on my machine. I'm going to upgrade to a Voodoo5 just to make this game even better!

Codemasters has really figured out how to make the best racing games. I wish EA would learn a few things from them.

Great handling

When it comes to driving games it's all about the handling, CMR2 is one of the best driving games in that category.

The graphics and sound are quite nice, but what make this game stand out is the implementation of forcefeedback. If you have a forcefeedback wheel then this game is a must have.

You really have to be a big rally fan though, as driving alone for hours and hours can be a bit boring. You need some companionship to bump into :-)

Unfortunately there are a few hickups. One being the occasional studdering when using forcefeedback. Codemasters have aknowleged this as a bug, but they can't seem to fix it. The other small turndown is when playing multiplayer you can't hit your opponent, as he drives in ghost mode.

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 - PERFECT!!!

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 is by far the finest video game I have played. Coupled with my 2.53 GHz Pentium 4 processor and 64MB NVIDIA GeForce 4Ti 4200 video card, the graphics are amazing using 1280 x 1024 resolution and setting the games detail option to "High".

I am a software programmer. Seldom do I find an application that, in my opinion, does not have room for significant improvement - this game has it all. Graphics, game play, and the inclusion of an arcade mode, Codemasters has done an outstanding job. Using a 19" digital, flat panel monitor and SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel makes for the most remarkably realistic, exhilarating, and ultra fast-paced driving experience. The tracks are breathtaking. Driving control, game options, and menus are perfect. Great job Codemasters!
