Colin McRae Rally: Difference between revisions

Each game is a semi-realistic rally simulator, so though there are some arcade-ish elements, the general tone of the games requires players to beat rally stages using a relatively professional driving style. The series is notable for pioneering a destruction and physics model in racing games. Damage received in a race is taken into account and players have to repair their rally car regularly in a service area, after every two stages. In addition, service areas also offer a generous array of options for tuning a car's technical specs, to give better performance on upcoming stages. Weather conditions are also an important factor, and at least two of the installments featured randomly generated and dynamically changing weather.

* ''Colin McRae Rally'' (1998)

* ''Colin McRae Rally 04'' (2004)

* ''Colin McRae Rally [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|2005]]'' (2005)

For the [[Spin-Off]] series, see ''[[DiRT (video game)]]''.

* [[Adaptation Distillation]] / [[Pragmatic Adaptation]] : The games have gone from featuring actual rally racers and licensed WR championships (set in the year in which the game was made) to more [[Bland-Name Product]] versions of famous rally events and racing sponsors. However, all rally stages in the series are based on real world locations, down to minute details.
