"Better than Colin McRae?"

The review on games domain certainly makes it sound like it could be - does anyone know when this game is out - im almost definately going to get it.

Let me no - ~ Ben ~

Which game?

Could it be Rally Fusion? Help us out here, we need to know what it's called before we can tell you when it's released.

Could it be WRC II Extreme ?

I dunno, its quite good, and you certainly wouldn`t be disappointed if you got it... but there are other alternatives. The one I suggest is better in terms of gameplay in my opinion. It has smoother controls and a more addictive style of play. Combine this with its superb graphics and you`re looking at a pretty incredible game!

On the other hand, the last game on the list does have its own strengths in the form of the co-op mode, and its extra screen options - 60Hz, Widescreen etc...

Its a tough decision, but any of those four would probably make a good choice.

Rally Fusion!! Sorry!

It won't take much to beat Colin McRae Rally 3:

- Poor handling
- Average graphics
- Sometimes difficult to tell which way to go, even with the directions being shouted out to you (worse on GB)

Hell, even Colin McRae Rally 2 beats this.

Nomino, some points were bit harsh, I think handling is good - better than WRC II anyway, graphics are great (except pop up) and I know what you mean about which route to take - there need to be more barriers blocking off the wrong routes.
Excellent game overall though, difficulty level is set just right, even on Normal - season 2 - the computer set times are very competitive, this game will take ages to finish.
Well worth £33.99
You will not find anything to beat GT3 for years so you have to judge all other racing games WITHOUT comparing them to GT3.
Stop moaning and get playing :)

Uh -, It's got the best handling of any rally game currently available.

> - Average graphics

again - uh - yes there is some pop up on the tree line on some levels and no they are not as crisp as GT but apart from that they are great. Maybe your defination of average is based on GT - Toca's graphics are what I would call average - CMR3's are much better than that.

It aint difficult at all - it only gets difficult if you are lagging because of a prang or something like that and you get behind Grist's calls.

No it doesn't.

Bit of a shame that McRae & Ford and McRae & Grist parted company before the games release :|
Just think CMR4 will have him driving a Citroen (maybe ?)
