I enjoy playing all genre of computer games, from Super Mario to Splinter Cell. Also I like web design, creating webpages.
Colin McRae Rally 04 rally simlulator from Codemasters reached the 4th edition. Unfortunately for game enthusiasts this version of Colin McRae could be the last one. Why? If you watch closely the real world rally games you know thath Colin McRae is not competing in rally anymore. This was a real punch for Codemasters who built the whole game around Colin's image.
There are 20 cars in the game which we can choose from an impressive list: Citroen Xsara, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7, Subaru Impreza, Ford Puma, and lot's more.
The cars looks like jewels, all the little details are more optimized. They are perfectly constructed, excellent graphics, all the textures are beautiful. Combined with the game's action it gives a pretty good feeling.
The sounds are very important in games like CMR 04. The engine sounds are great in the game and even greater if you play with manual transmission. The syncronization is perfect. The sounds changes between cars, like the sound of the Peugeot is not the same as the Citroen's and this gives a little extra to the game's atmosphere.
A new thing in CMR04 is that after winning a reca we can make some car tests and we can adjust and upgrade the car's engine, traction, breaks, tires and a lot more.
I must metion that in CMR03 the biggest joke was the multiplayer section...it wasn't good enough for a respectful game like this, but fortunately this was corrected in CMR04.
Codemasters put a lot of work in this game fro you to enjoy it. So please do that, because it's one hell of a ride.
A few words for Colin:
Okay, do what ever you want! I don't want to say that WRC is not the same without you, beacuse i would lie, but it would be great if you could be there too and we all can say that we won the rally with your car.
