Last year's Xbox version certainly played as well as you'd expect, but was utterly let down by a truly unremarkable graphics engine which looked faintly embarrassing next to DICE's Xbox-only Rallisport Challenge. The 80 per cent complete Xbox build we hold in our hands is basically the game Codies should have released last year, with a bewildering array of modes, features and neat tweaks that go a long way to restoring the series to its rightful place on the winner's podium.īefore we launch into a whistle stop tour of the game's many features, the most glaringly obvious enhancements are in the audio/visual departments. That was until we sat down and played the thing. Dubious claims aside, it's without question the most successful Rally series ever, but after last year's comparatively lacklustre effort we weren't remotely excited about the prospect of a quickfire number four.
We're not sure why Codemasters still insists it invented the Rally game, but there it is, bold as brass in the Colin McRae Rally 04 press blurb.
