Got the real thing (self-bought birthday present), installed the three CDROM's which expanded out to 3+Gbytes, and the damn game would get to the 'press a key to start CMR3' and crash to desktop. I spent hours trashing the Ford Focus (I managed to shred all four tires, and then lose one front wheel and a back wheel, wheee), and loved it to bits. Despite all this, it still remains a very fun game to play, with detailed graphics and refined sound quality.A month or so ago I got the CMR3 demo, and then the demo patch. A realistic rally simulator for hardcore fansĪt its core, Colin McRae Rally 4 tries to maintain as much realism as possible, as it can be clearly observed in the way that cars can be handled, as well as the realistic damage system that affects every piece of your vehicle. Because of this, you must choose which parts you need the most and hope that the rest can hold on for one more race. Thus, after each stage, you are allowed to repair it, although you only get one in-game hour to do so, which limits the components you are able to fix. Usually, the vehicle can get damaged during the race, since it can be quite difficult to keep it on the track at all times and avoid every obstacle that happens to be in your way. Beside the suspension stiffness, you can also control the tire pressure, the gearbox behavior and the break balance between the front and the back of the car. Set up your car before each raceīefore heading to the track, you are allowed to bring modifications to your car, in order to adjust its characteristics to the type of terrain it has to run on. Hence, you can make some mistakes in one stage, although you do have to give it your best in the next round to make up for it. To get ahead, you have to obtain the best times on every stage, although only the final result has any impact on whether you are allowed to move on into the next country. Thus, you can show off your driving skills on tracks set in Finland, Australia, England and even Sweden, all of which feature their own challenges when it comes to approaching them.Įvery country is formed out of multiple stages, all of which can be cleared before you can move to the next one.
