Rally driving is, according to some, the most challenging racing discipline there is. It involves tremendous skill and the ability to adapt to the ever changing terrain configurations and weather conditions. Its about relying on your co pilot just as much as on your own reflexes and quick wits. Rally driving is all about skill, teamwork and dedication. Making a good rally game is sort of like that, too. Over the years, many rally games have come and gone. Besides DICEs RalliSport Challenge not many have been able to challenge the undisputed champion of the genre the Colin McRae Rally series. Throughout the years, Colin McRae games have been hailed as the most realistic simulations of rally driving on the market. After playing Colin McRae Rally 3 on the PC, the only thing I can do is wholeheartedly agree.

Colin McRae Rally 2005 takes the series forward with a massive multi-event Career Challenge and introduces online head-to-head rallying for up to 8 players. The all-new Career Challenge has players hurtling through over 20 different classes of rally events including Challenges, Cups, SuperCups, Shields and Championships.
