Colin McRae Rally 2.0 from Codemasters tries to re-create that sense of fun.Ĭoming into a field that is already jam-packed with great titles like V-Rally 2 and the original Colin McRae, 2.0 has somehow managed to produce the goods within the genre, but also introduces new ideas to what is a rather staid format.

The world of rally driving is an interesting one.
