Brilliant game! This game has genuine atmosphere. You actually feel as if you are rallying. The graphics are stunning in places especially the playbacks. The sound effects are very realistic (but not as deafening as real life rallying, thank god). The physics feel as if they are realistic.
The subtleties of the damage engine is pretty cool as well. Little touches such as hearing the anxiety of your co-driver when you crash ( high-pitched and lost commentary).
There is massive replay value especially with the xbox live scoreboard. The menu screens are easier to navigate than Colin Mcrae 3, but not as good as Colin Mcrae 2.
