Unlocking all Rally cars like Mini Cooper, Ford Sierra Rally Cosworth, Lancer Road Car and 1999 FOCUS WRC from all the hard work after finally winning the game in EXPERT level.

I've been playing this game since it came out in 2000. I was 10 at the time. The graphics blew my mind at the time. The headlights actually reflect on the surface of the track when it's wet! As a kid/teen, I never managed to go beyond the novice championship. Been playing it on and off since then. Last playthrough was a few years ago (time flies these days...) and I finally managed to win the expert championship in the Corolla. It was incredibly close, right down to the last stage of the last rally. One of the best gaming experiences I've had, definitely.

I think that those games were better than today’s driving games, in the sense that you got a reasonable degree of simulation and you could still have fun anyway, no matter your skill level. You could play as an hardcore rally driver or as a more casual gamer, this game fitted both profiles. Today’s driving games, on the other hand, are so much focused on simulation that all the fun is lost. Either you spend 4 hours per days learning all the best driving techniques and set ups for the car, or you just abandon the game after a few days because it is just too hard and boring.

Many spent countless hours to finally grabbed the win after tons of resets.

A very cool game, even the ost was cool. The menu music felt like something you could hear on your radio. And although i had a hard time with rally mode as a child. I later found out the voices instruction actually made sense (language barrier of speaking another language)

Good video! I'd recommend showing the games in their original 4:3 format and without emulation enhancements to help preserve the history of each game.

The Corsica Rally in CMR2.0 is absolutely relentless regardless of the difficulty level chosen...
@crimsonframe472 ай бұрын
This definitely one of the best racing games for console. It was awesome for its time, the sense of speed and how the car goes in this game is my favorite. The fact that it was meant to be played on a joystick is what made McRae Rally 2.0's level design truly amazing, it fast paced yet needed extra calculations and memory work for all those tight corners that came back-to-back.

Yep. Unlike EA SPORTS WRC, which is still broken despite it include 30+ km stages and all cars from different era.

This game defined my early 20's a few of us used to sit around smoking weed and playing this every night, taking it in turns on each stage (in next version of the game they took that out!), it was so intense, so much focus, and passing the spliff to the person who was next to try and put them off. So we could chat, mess about, then take a turn.. repeat all night.. At the end of the rally we were all within about 4 seconds of each other.. Such great racing, such good times over this game... /edit, I think im wrong, CM1 had the full rally in take a turn each mode, I think they took it out on this version...

I may have to give this game a go someday, I only ever played CMR 3 and 4 which were great games too. I recently picked up a copy of TOCA 2 for ps1 (1998) and I even though I was never really interested ps1 games as I saw them really dated, I really enjoyed the touring car theme, tracks, and detail like working windshield wipers, commentary ect.

Nice video, a good summary of a wonderful game. While I didn't miss the rally school per se, it did make CMR1 feel more like Colin's game because he was the teacher. Colin's voice, likeness etc wasn't seen in CMR2

I got this game from my mother's friend back then. He told me I had to check this game out because the graphics and gameplay were so amazing. He was right! Loved this game, it was certainly better than Pro Rally 2001 which I also had at the time.

I agree. The second one was the best in the series. The first game was really good but the second is on another level. Newcomers just need to practice more because of the addition of various obstacles in the corners of tracks. The third one was a little bit floaty... I loved it back in the day, but never got back to play it again.

One thing that put me off the second game at the time was that i really didnt like the way the Ford Focus rally car looked. I was a full on Subaru fanboy and I just couldn't get on board with the new Ford car that McRae was driving. I know it's silly and I know that the Subaru was still in the second game, but I was a young teenager and that's just how I felt at the time.

If you interested, I really want to battle with you on Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0, on Parsec. Because I'm really curious how if it played using parsec.

It's a bit stupid desing because you cannot advance in the next series if you cannot qualify in top 6. And the difficulty is so hard even on intermediate for the casual player that basically you cannot continue.
