Rating: - Great game, great graphics, easy to control, but...
This game is excellent. I had great fun progressing through the levels and buying new cars etc. I never tried fine tuning the engines or anything, so can't comment on that.
The game looks supurb, it really showed off my graphics card (Nvidia 8800GTS) to its full potential and it was actually quite pleasant just driving some of the rallies to admire the scenery. It also ran fine on both XP and Vista, though Vista was a bit choppy at the higher settings.
Rating: - GREAT..... if you have a computer of a similar spec to NASA's
GRAPHICS:
Ok, I had read all the reviews about needing a very high spec pc and although my pc isn't super duper I thought it would probably work ok like all my other high spec games. I bought my pc about 2 years ago, then it was very good, (7600gs 256mb, 500gb sata, 2gb ram, pentium 2 core duo). Now that is quite good I think. However at 1240 by 1024 at the lowest detail settings it still only gave about 4fps with a steering lag of about 1.5 seconds (my formula force ex steering wheel works perfectly ... Read More
Rating: - Dont believe the negative reviews
Game is excellent in my opinion. Some of the negative feedback isnt justified.
Yes, you do need a very powerful graphics card but on my 8800 GTS framerate is in the 40's with all graphic options maxed out at 1680x1050
Handling takes getting used to I admit but it's just sensitive thats all. Using a joypad I have completed the whole game with no problems.
On the downside there are a few minus points though.
1) Your saved games can get corrupted (even after ... Read More

First, the moans:
I didn't think I would mind, but the American accents really are incredibly annoying! I eventually had to turn the speech off. This is supposed to be a Colin Mcrae game after all... (And I love Americans, honest!)
The hardware requirements are ridiculous. My PC has an E6850 3GHz cpu and a factory-overclocked 8800gt graphics card and I still couldn't run it smoothly at the max settings. I tried various combinations of lower res/lower detail and never really got a decent ... Read More
Rating: - This game could damage your PC
This game will, without you consent, install "hidden drivers"
These starforce drivers are not compatible with a lot of computers including mine.
When you report your problems to Codemasters you will not get any help at all, as they wont admit there is a problem with this Russian software.
These drivers will stay on your system after uninstalling game and you will need a special tool to remove them.
Leave this game alone and any other games that use "starforce"
Ubisoft have ditched starforce ... Read More
