World Rally Championship (2001) review - ColourShed

[@DauntlessDamian]

I love the menu music, it's got a warm cozy feeling before you enter the death defying race.

[@xman777b]

yeah. He's weird

[@sen_ex]

Do WRC Rally Evolved, it's a forgotten gem

[@HoriaM29]

Holy shit yes

[@sketchmoon3333]

yesss

[@gameandstuff]

Ah... the good old rally champion: Ford Driver.

[@hittrewweuy7595]

I remember this game being my first racing game with a racing wheel , I bought both at the same time and until now WRC 2001 is one of my favorite driving games

[@RemyLanslots]

The first WRC that had been released for PlayStation 2 was one of the games that came on the demo disc that was included with my system. I wasted so many hours on that demo and eventually the first game! Since then, I have always had a soft spot for the franchise, especially on PS2. I had played all of them, with the least time spent with the fifth game: WRC: Rally Evolved. Not that it's a bad game, but I just haven't played it as much. Any chance you're going to be reviewing WRC II: Extreme, WRC 3, WRC 4 and WRC: Rally Evolved? I'd love to know your opinions on it!

[@JamesFHarrison]

"Speed" by Faithless is the theme song. It's on KZbin but unfortunately not Spotify.

[@Catcrumbs]

This was one of the first games I had on the PS2 and I enjoyed it a lot. It always felt to me that the cars pivoted on an axis instead of following the front wheels though, if you understand my meaning.

[@lewishamilton6177]

when WRC games were good

[@italoferreira6552]

Falai

[@333xz]

Aaaand the new one is great

[@kayto101racer]

I love this game, I like all of there WRC games. I own all of them. I hope codemasters get the WRC licences and give it to them since codies took them in.

[@lucassteyaert5407]

So nostalgic, i have wasted so many hours on 2 player mode agianst my dad or my brothers. I actually never played another mode :p

[@leohjames]

Great videos! You should do a video on Colin McRae Rally 3. So many memories with that game!

[@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697]

One of my favourite classic rally games

[@BlueShift2000]

WRC II Extreme was my Favorit. The sound, cars and tracks were astonished back in time.

[@dannystavs2003]

Good vid. Can't wait for you to talk about WRC II: Extreme. :)

[@alexanderstormdahl2562]

I played this one a lot. I remember being a hipster at heart, I’m Norwegian so all my friends obviously drove as Solberg in the Impreza. Meanwhile, I chose to drive as Armin Schwarz in the Octavia

[@edwarktwelve6257]

Please review the rest of the series all the way up to Evolved if possible. Evolved has random event generator which is quite rare even for modern rally games, it improve replay value a lot. It also has the best co-driver voice acting I'd ever seen so far...

[@josef733]

There are a lot of racing games with good music. Burnout 3, Underground 2 and Porsche Unleashed just to name a few.

[@niismo.]

josef733 u forgot NFS MW 2012

[@alexgherghiceanu2094]

And burnout paradise

[@superstuff4327]

And gran turismo 3 and 4

[@JamesCarmichael]

Wipeout 2097, Destruction Derby, Road Rash (PS1), SSX Tricky, Ridge Racer Type 4 and loads others. All have great soundtracks IMO.

[@ZitahGirlGames]

Midnight Club I, II, III Need for speed II, III, IV,

[@aidangarvey7049]

Looks satisfying as hell to control. Will hunt down copy and emulate the PAL-only games. Thanks for the review!

[@KasumiRINA]

I know it's old comment but there are a lot of WRC games on Steam now, starting with WRC 5, they're region free I think... and pretty cheap. Though made by different developer, this studio went to make Motorstorm and Drive Club.

[@cherryred6804]

Do the sequel II extreme

[@skipper7147]

I never actually played this game as such but I can't count how many times I played the Mitsubishi Evo on the demo through the blue disc

[@ChrisKadaver]

This is my all time favourite rally game. It so much more fun than dirt rally which is the latest rally game ive been playing. This game is great even with the regular game pad. The vibration feedback is perfect. You feelnde diffirence between the different road surfaces in a really convinsing way. I really prefer chorded controllers due to stronger vibration function.

[@SausageMix]

i love the soundtrack tbh

[@thisisnothere14]

I wish more of the wrc series was released in north america! I did just pick up a copy of this one though!

[@Blueflag04]

please review wrc 2 extreme

[@waldevv]

I remember being a big WRC fan as a kid, I had my parents record as many clips as possible onto VHS whenever I wasn't able to watch them and I would watch those over and over again. I really wanted a PS2 at the time because the WRC games seemed like the greatest thing ever and the low budget PC rally games got annoying, and on christmas in I believe 2003 I got my PS2 and a copy of WRC 3. It was one of the best days of my life and that PS2 still lives with me and I use it regularly. I still have some save games that are dated 2003 for various games so I should really check those out

[@egonrr555]

@ColourShed Good stuff! Now may I recommend Dakar 2 game, by Akklaim. Played it on Ps2 and remember being pretty good fun. Also have you done Richard Burns Rally yet?

[@Timic83tc]

how do you have xbox/pc button prompts on a ps2 game?

[@Passenger-nj7in]

Seems solid. I still like playing WRC II to this day, the 4th also was very good.

[@tommytopgearReloaded]

Can you review RalliSport Challenge 2

[@amurilloreno]

Have you review WRC Rally Evolved? It was really best WRC all time by my opinion, with lots of tracks, surprises, and vehicles, especially with Historic one

[@yHaNw]

you should try our V-Rally 3 for the ps2, i used to love that game, and the graphics made my jaw drop

[@JamesCarmichael]

The replay music was good. I felt this was a strong contender for Colin McCrea 3 at the time.

[@CaptainPeanut]

Review WRC II Extreme please!

[@solidosnak164]

Pls try the DiRT series because they are amazing no one talks about them

[@smash461986]

There was a bug where the car shadow would disappear. Really off putting. Also just coz you don't like Rollo, Garbage and Way Out West that doesn't make the music bad.

[@Wabeeninc]

Rip Colin Rip Richard. May both your souls be forever intertwined with the stars of the Subarus u piloted

[@NewBye]

You should review WRC Rally Evolved. It is the best WRC game in the series but the most underrated one of them all.

[@johnjames01]

I love the soundtrack.

[@starcrash1750]

i would love to you cover all ps2 wrc games and later ones too like 2010 andd so on but reagions :/ maby some day :)

[@Jared-ll3tt]

Hey can you review Split Second? That's a completely underrated game that needs some love lol

[@carbrand7527]

Childhood game freakin loved it but it was scratched af so had to wait 5 mins each level never bothered me at all

[@blazedyoda8608]

I played this when I was 5 back in 2003 it was my first game for the ps2 infact it was my first game I ever owned myself

[@theorigionaldrew]

Is motorstorm dead?

[@Blueflag04]

yes , the last game is motorstorm rc

[@kresimircosic9035]

It's funny the way the co-driver tells it the wrong way. Right 6 in this game means a really hard turn right, while in reality the signature McRae's style was the weakest turn right (told as right 6).

[@strahinjastevic7480]

6 desno je krivina koju možeš proći bez kočenja maltene i bez dizanja noge sa gasa, ne treba tu neki mekre stil il šta već nego je prosto samo to.

[@kresimircosic9035]

@@strahinjastevic7480 znam da

[@thanarkoudas2900]

i have this game even today

[@meteor_smash]

waiting for the dirt reviews

[@Francoberry]

First game I ever played on PS2!

[@stxll_lxst]

Actually WRC 2: FIA had a really great menu themes

[@leftindarkness870]

Don't you think you are going too far with ''every single racing game has terrible music''? Actually most racing games have great music. Like for example gran turismo, project gotham my all time fav battle gear and others I cant't think of rn

[@orestislamprou75]

Rest in peace Colin Mcrae

[@themoaspecial]

This game was awesome when it first came out! I played it to death!

1.4mb? That's nothing. Colin McRae Rally 2005 takes up 4mb

[@jamsee1]

Brïan Bultman Exactly what I was thinking.... and own that game also.

[@ADa89mixus]

Very fun game!

[@JamieBainbridge]

lol what complaints. Smart move by a new developer to focus on gameplay instead of music and off-track scenery, especially when the gameplay is this good 👌

[@darianthescorpion1132]

At least Gran Turismo 3 had a good soundtrack. Dare I say, amazing soundtrack.

[@jintei8524]

WRC by Evolution is the shit man. Nowadays, Kylotonn just fucked a good series up. The same for Milestone on previous entries for the PS3.

[@JoyManoppo]

One and only wrc game in usa for ps2

[@kennethsimdrive5798]

richard burns rally still da best

[@AdriLeverkuhn]

What about car damage? Rally is all about surviving

[@pbj8744]

Review number 2

[@zaccasey5932]

I got it for 25cent 9 days ago

[@crysiscrysis720]

Why is there Y B A X on the menu lol

[@AdriLeverkuhn]

You forgot to talk about car damage and reparations

[@jay_sun2088]

“Ford driver”

[@ChainikVlad]

Ford Driver: DiRT

[@thomaswyatt199]

Richard burns rally destroys this game even on ps2.

[@strahinjastevic7480]

rallycross events in a world rally championship game, ok...

[@MentalParadox]

You're being way too hard on a 15-year old game.

[@huseyinfahriuzun2216]

Music during race is unnecessary go play MARIO kart please
