Colin McRae Rally 04 will have players driving on the very edge of control
as the series' sublime car handling combines with new championships, new single
and multiplayer gaming modes, and unique car part testing challenges to win
advanced technology for your car. The engine that drives the series' sublime
car handling has been enhanced to a new level of detail...
Previously the car handling employed a steering aid, which had the effect of
making the car move around a central pivot point. Now the aid's been removed,
effectively taking the stabilisers off, providing for a more professional, realistic
and natural handling experience and you'll notice the difference, especially
when performing skids and powerslides.
An advanced visual engine will deliver stunning environments and more detailed
stages through the fresh international rally courses. The replay cameras are
being enhanced to provide dramatic highlights from the rallies in dramatic televisual
detail.
Gameplay will feature Championship, Rally and Stages modes, each with single
player or multiplayer options that offer co-operative and competitive team challenges.
Championships include a full rally season, specialist 4-wheel drive and 2-wheel
drive events, Custom Rallies and an ultimate Expert Championship, which will
set highest standards for the most die-hard rally fans.
