Colin McRae rally is an awesome game. I had the 2004 for xbox and it was fantastic! the deal with the steering is your not playing need for speed, you are playing a simulator and your not on the road so every input (including steering) is going to be a little sluggish (just like you were really driving a crappy little car at full balls on a dirt road) I think these guys do a great job with this game.

Game will not work with my Logitech Momo driving wheel. Can ONLY use a joystick. Verry unhappy---period
A blast for a true gearhead!

This game rocks! I enjoy it's realistic details, such as car damage after crashes, engine overheating and subsequent stall and restart, getting flat tires and riding on 4 rims, etc... This game is a lot of fun to play for any length of time. I originally rented it from Blockbluster, and liked it so much that I started shopping for it in local stores. To my surprise, I could not find a single copy of this game for sale anywhere. I went to Target, CompUSA, Walmart, ToysRus, and Bestbuy to no avail. Save yourself some hassle, and just order it right here from Amazon.com!
excellent game!

The Colin Mcrae series have always been the king of the rally genre in my book and the latest is no exception. Awesome graphics, car selection, and fun! I use a gamepad and it responds perfectly...i dont see how you can trash a game with 1 star just because you can't get your wheel to work right with it...
Avoid this one

After having had fun with several of the Need For Speed series, I began looking for some other racing sims to try out. I already own TOCA2 Touring Cars which is a good game. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Colin Mcrae Rally 2005. There is a steering wheel issue that seems to be common. Others have mentioned it at the Codemasters website. Surprisingly, no one from Codemasters has responded to the complaints about the steering issue on their own company sponsored forum. The issue is that there is a lag in response time from when you turn your steering wheel to the car reacting. I'm sure some will be able to adapt their play to compensate for the lag, but I'm not interested in doing that. I'd skip this one for now, if I were you.
