The good: Lots of cars to choose from, varied difficulty levels, excellent graphics, good car modelling, incidents that occur during the race are random(ie:on one course there might be roadworks, another time animals crossing the road).
The bad:Car damage not realistic(one time you might hit a rail at 130km/h, and nothing happens, hit a gate head on at 30km/h and your radiator gets blown. There are only 3 stages to each rally which is a bit of a letdown, also no super-stages.
overall: Fun game, letdown by minor niggles, still one of the best rally games on ps2.
