Xpand Rally shows off a love for the sport that borders on obsessive, yet the game is truly accessible to any motor sports fan.
This is a great game, be you avid rally fan or a novice to the sport, this game offers something fun for all takers. If you have a PC that can handle the game and you like racing games in the least I would have to recommend you take a look at this title.

It was one of most fun racing games. For me much better than Colin series. Maybe some not smooth effects were main issues and Java memory problems. Hood view was very acceptable.
Coding desktop games in Java is pointless, maybe same will happen with C# and a specially Unity (memory automation without control + too much slow abstract data structures)

Although its budget pricing suggests otherwise, the game is impressively appointed and wonderfully rendered. The physics modeling is superb, and the damage modeling is nothing short of stunning.
Replays are stunning with all the cameras and visual effects and the game comes with a built-in track editor which lets you import, modify and create tracks. What more do you want?!?!?
For twenty bucks this is a pretty great game, especially if you’re big into rally racing.
The visuals are absolutely breathtaking, whether it is the incredible lighting effects, lush environments, or the fine details that are often overlooked by other games, XR delivers.
Its resplendent scenery, changeable weather, and exquisite lighting and particle effects are absolutely mesmerizing. [Holiday 2004, p.104]
2006 and the game is mediocre like that? the only cool thing about this crap is its sense of speed and physics because the rest is all bad!
Gameplay, graphics, repetitive tracks, voice of the copilot... WRC 4 PS2 is from 2004 and has everything better than this 2006 game from the gameplay to its graphics.

Tiens, j'ignorais que Techland avait démoulé des cakes pareils avant de se cantonner à leurs jeux de zombis de mes deux... un jeu de rallye, ah bah ça alors...! un jeu de rallye oui mais sans aucune licence parce que ça coûte du pognon les licences et le pognon, c'est cher. Mais on va imaginer le reste et imaginer qu'on est tombé sur un "bon" jeu de rallye... sans licence.
Mais ça, c'est plus difficile, beaucoup plus difficile, car la réalité vous saute au visage... déjà que pour le lancer, il faut patcher en 1.1 obligatoirement sinon la protection de la galette ne reconnaît pas la galette et on ne trouve pas la fève. Et on reste un paysan. Et bien sûr, Xpand truc ne marche pas sur 7 mais sur XP, ça va (quand même). Et il est seulement en 4/3. Mais pas trop vilain graphiquement (enfin, faut pas être trop difficile).
Les effets sonores sont par contre bien vilains, eux : c'est vraiment pas terrible et toutes les bagnoles ont le même bruit un peu pourri. Elles ont aussi toutes le même comportement : la bagnole pivote simplement sur son axe et ça se con-duit bien mieux en vue externe, signe que c'est très arcade.. ah non, le jeu indique "simulation" ! t'es sérieux là ? t'as bu trop de vodka, mon gars ! on ose même pas "imaginer" le mode arcade dans ce cas... non, on ne veut pas.
Donc finalement, on s'ennuie bien vite dans ce pseudo-jeu à la godille... ce n'est pourtant pas complètement nul, on va pas mettre zéro à ce jeu d'alcooliques tout de même ! alors un point, ça ira largement je crois. Sans être (trop) laxiste bien sûr !
