Mobil 1 is better, but harder to find.  Of all of them, I'd still go for
Colin McRae 2.

Rally Masters

I have Mobil1, Colin Mcrae 1 & 2  and Rally Masters.

RM has great graphics, great physics (get the patch) and loads of
gameplay modes.  Its a great package.

Mobil1 has amazing stages (some of them take 20 or so minutes) and
great graphics but the physics don't really convince.

CMR2, basically a Codemasters "arcadey side of things" rally game...Mobil 1
Rally, hard as nails, needs a couple of fixes but ultimately the most
satisfying, Rally Masters more of a RallyCross game with equally, er,
unusual car handling. If you want the toughest, it has to be Mibil 1. If you
want ease to get in and have a spin 'n' giggle, go with CMR2. Rally Masters
I can't find a HUGE amount of good in, but there are those that swear by it.

I have had all three also and I have to agree with the above. Mobil 1
RC is the one to get, IMO. Forget RM, but CM2.0 is pretty good if you
are looking for a more fun rally game.
use EXCITE.COM instead

Personally, I'd say get both. M1RC should be down to $17.95
or around that level. Check compuexpert.com. I think they have
it in their bargain section.

RM is more "fun" driving as it emphasizes powerslides around
the corners, and a lot of those super-special competitions.

RC, on the other hand, have longer stages and more realistic
terrain.

I own both and I enjoy both (and CMR1).

RC is the one if you want realistic-length stages (ie up to 20 minutes)
and superb scenery. And it's recently come out on budget
in the UK (a tenner). Unfortunately, the physics are dodgy unless you
spend a fair amount of time fiddling with configuration files.

RM is the one if you want lots of options and better physics out of the
box[1] - the stages are a bit short, as in most rally games, but it's
probably my favourite as it's... convincing. To me, anyway - and I'm
the one playing it, so no-one else matters :-)

CMR2.0 is the most arcadey - short stages, fantasy tracks, typical
***y Codemasters requirement to finish well in every rally to
progress in the championship - but it's fun if you want a quick blast,
and it's really pretty respectable in the handling department.

[1] well, sort of - you'll want a patch, but there isn't the need for
detailed hacking that there is in RC.

I agree with that.  It's a steal.
