Colin McRae Rally 2005 - recommended?

[FourWheelDrift]

I've got Richard Burns Rally which I like but I've just bought a new graphics card and as part of the deal I can select a free game, Colin McRae Rally 2005 is one of them. I have and enjoyed the first two CM Rally games but hated Colin McRae Rally 3.

Anyone got this one and can say nice things about it?


PS. The others I have a choice of are - Project: Snowblind, Splinter Cell, Hitman and Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Depends on what you're going to play it as.

If you're going to treat it like a simulation game, then no, it is not recommended.

If you're going to treat it like a borderline arcade/sim, then yes, it can be very fun.

Graphics-wise, I found it to be approximately similar quality to Race Driver 2, and somewhat better than RBR. For audio, I prefer RBR audio.

hmmm, I'll have a nose around the others I could get, although I can also wait as the games on offer do change.

Thanks
