Anyone played it? Any good?

I played the first two back on the orig playstation, but having got tired of GT4 bought this at lunchtime today for £12 for a new motoring fix :driving:

I found it a bit meh to be honest.

Daddy of the rally games is Richard Burns rally, very tough but satisfying when you get it right.

The cars don't handle like cars in Colin Mcrae, more like toboggans being pulled along by an invisible rope and you simply slide them from one side of the screen to the other.

I got it about a month before GT4 came out & thought it was pretty good (some of hte older cars are GREAT) - haven't touched it since GT4 arrived though.....

Had a bit of a go on it last Friday, but started the Career mode and the 2WD Polo was pants and thought the graphics were awful.

Had a bit of a play in a Scooby on a free run, but again not that impressed. I think I have been spoilt by GT4 - but hey it only cost me £12.

I'm waiting for Daley Thompson's Decathlon 2005 to come out. Ray Reardon Snooker is supposed to be pretty good and Dixie Dean Soccer is a great game for the PS2.

been playing it on th xbox with wheel/pedals and its defintely about the best that I've played anyway.

the surfaces can be pretty inconsistent, but you get that in real life as well.

I just ignore the fwd cars and spend my time with the classics, favourites being the mk1 esky, alfetta GTV, 037 and ohhhh the stratos

only unlocked the RS200 of the group B cars so far and its really quite mental. <even more respect for Rohrl and co. for actually driving those things>
