Farewell Colin Mcrae
Hope the franchise will long continue, find out why i hope for that.
First off, the thing that strikes you most about this game is the presentation.
The graphics have to be mentioned, they are the most amazing graphics i have yet to see in any racer, at times it looks real. The amount of on screen detail is amazing with very minimal pop up, the speed at this game runs is extremely fast with a full 30fps speed rate. The game looks best and most realistic when played either in the bumper cam or the cockpit view. This is where i believe you have better control behind the wheel.
The cars are detailed very well with full damage etc but the handling is in a different league to past colin mcrae games and the handling is very loose and like your driving on ice so this is why i choose the views i mentioned as it seems more realistic.
The games menus are also very safisticated and clean, easy to navigate and simple to use. However the writing on them can appear rather small and hard to read at times.
The pace of the game is very good with a points system and also different levels of difficulty to suit your own style of progression. earning more money for the higher difficulty makes more of a challenge but also earns you more cars more quickly.
The sound from the narator can be cheesy but the pace notes are very well spoken.
