    The most complete rally racing game you'll find on the Xbox. This is the Colin McRae Rally game that defines the very essence of the sport and thus making this the Must Have title to own.

    The reorganization of the career mode produces a superb effect, the range of cars and courses is wonderfully overwhelming, and the overall feel is one of having just bought a treasure chest of rallying racing. Also, heck, for $29.99? What an unbelievable steal.

    It's all just a question of whether you like to take corners slowly, having someone talking about the corners and then getting angry at yourself because you messed up. So take you pick of the three: "Burnout 3," Colin, "RalliSport 2" - which is more fun? "Burnout 3"? Yep.

    Same graphics as the last 2 games regardless of what the devs. would have you think. This should have been put out earlier this year as ';04. Except for online, nothing has changed except more tracks, which like I said, should have been on the last disc. PS2 graphics on Xbox are getting really old since most of us that have an Xbox bought it because we couldn't look at the outdated graphics the PS2 pushes. Can anyone say cash-in? I can!… Expand

    CM4 was Great! I really liked it! But...When I played this one yesterdag I was really really let down!! Sure, the graphics are very very nice. But... It feels unrealistic light and where the hell is the engine sound in the outside view! It totally nonsense that they tuned down the engine noise! Nope, this game is not for me.… Expand
