Daily Radar
Perhaps the most gorgeous, addictive and exceptionally challenging rally title ever to hit a home console.
Hot Games
Its minor control issues notwithstanding, this is the best rally racer available on the PSX -- maybe on any platform.

In every single way, CMR 2.0 just crushes the competition. Every aspect of the game has been improved upon and is delivered in a top quality product. Codemasters once again has created the best rally game on the planet with Colin McRae Rally 2.0.

Graphics, handling, sound, depth and polish are all abundant in this game and if you like driving games, or perhaps even if you don't, you will love Colin McRae 2.
Spank!
If I had to choose my favourite (realistic) racing game, a couple of weeks ago I would have said Colin McRae but now it's most definitely the sequel.
GMR Magazine
McRae games were and are the best. [Feb 2003, p.97]
CNET Gamecenter
Arcade racing aficionados might be daunted by the learning curve, but sim fans will find enough depth here to keep playing for a long, long time.
GamePro
The mud, the jumps, the skids, and fun track designs make Colin McRae Rally 2.0 one very enjoyable racing title.

It's a testament to the addictive gameplay and perfect control of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 that, despite its dated graphics and average-at-best sounds, it still manages to become the best rally racer on PSX.

This is just a smart, well-made racer. Props to Codemasters for putting out the two best rally games ever. If you like video games and have two opposable thumbs, I recommend that you buy this game.

It's got the greatest rally driver endorsing it, all the cars, absolutely jaw-dropping graphics, realistic handling... but somehow, it just DOESN'T QUITE make it.

Die-hard fans of the original may feel a twinge of déjà vu when they dig into the update. For everyone else, though, Colin McRae Rally 2.0 represents one of the most solidly addictive racing experiences that money can buy.

Great graphics and sound huge range of cars and ultra reasitic stages.

Whoa! Racing games have never been as engrossing as this. Once you get the hang of it, CMR2.0 has you glued to the screen, trying to shave off that extra nanosecond off your time, making sure you listen to your codriver, and REALLY, REALLY paying attention to what's going on, moreso than any other racing game ever. Really top-shelf stuff from the Codies.
Karl D. gave it a 10:
A truly remarkable racing game. Honestly I prefer it to "Gran Turismo 2" because its gameplay is really addictive, challenging, simply great! You will not stop playing this one, until you buy a PS2 and wait for Colin Mcrae Rally 3! Let's dream, dream, dream...
