The grinding action is more intense than
ever as the series superb car handling combines with new championships, custom
rallies, new single and multiplayer gaming modes. On PC, the game is
enhanced with all-new online and LAN options enabling up to 8 players to compete
simultaneously through Championship or Stage races in co-operative or
competitive team challenges.
In Colin McRae Rally 04 it's the player in control! Choose from
over 20 rally cars and which championships to compete in.
Game modes include 4-wheel drive and 2-wheel drive
Championships. Rallies, Stages, a Group B Championship featuring classic
powerful rally cars and, for the professional, an Expert Championship, which
demands the best performance from the most die-hard rally fan.
Universally acclaimed for having the best car handling physics
engine in any racing game series, Colin McRae Rally 04 takes the already sublime
handling model and improves it further.
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 and natural handling experience and
you'll notice the difference over the varying terrain.
Colin McRae Rally 04 features 34 driving surfaces and 19 tire
types!
Colin McRae Rally 04 delivers 8 international rally locations,
each with 6 rally stages and a shakedown event. Four Super Special stages are
also featured.
There are over 20 rally cars to be driven, including 4-wheel
drive cars Citroen Xsara, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 and Subaru Impreza.
2-wheel drive cars such as the Ford Puma and Fiat Punto are
included alongside classic cars.
In the Championships, Colin McRae Rally 04 introduces a new
element to rally gaming, testing new car parts to provide the team with
advantageous technology.
Now you have to earn new technology between rally events in a
series of individual mini-games.
The tests take place in different countries and test centres and
each is specifically designed around the technology the player is testing, be it
an engine, tyres or a suspension test.
Complete a test challenge and a new car part becomes an
available option for your car, increasing the chance of success against the
competition as the season continues.
