This thread has been linked to the game 'Colin Mcrae Rally 3'.
Great game, not sure why some people are bashing it (saying poor graphics, handling, etc.), but I have noticed a couple of things. Firstly, Nicky Grist tends to lag behind on his pace notes from time to time - and damn is it annoying when it happens. And its ususally something messed up like "hairpin left" two yards from the actual hairpin, often resulting in a crash of somekind. Anyone else noticed this?
Also, I find it very hard, damn near impossible actually, to handle the car on gravel surfaces - it slides around uncontrollably. Taking a right bend in 5th results in the car sliding across to the left (usually into a tree or something) and I am not sure how to stop it. Anyone else have this problem?
