Mobil 1 Rally vs. Colin McRae Rally

I have Colin McRae Rally (import)1 and I was wondering how Mobil 1
compares. I like CMR, but the graphics are a little weird.
Thanks

the graphics of Rally 2000 are photorealistics, the best graphics ever for a
racing game.

  (comparing Mobil Rally 1 with CMR)
: the graphics of Rally 2000 are photorealistics, the best graphics ever for a
: racing game.

  Mobil Rally 1:
  Plus - best sense of speed of any driving game ever bar none
  Plus - good damage model - not wholly realistic but you can definitely
feel a damaged car.
  Plus - damn good graphics
  Minus - you can send your car from 100 mph to a stop by hitting a
flimsy fence or a straw bale
  Minus - needs patching a lot

  Takes a LOT to learn to be good in it.  Some stages are VERY long.  
Doesn't do the super-special stages.

  Colin McRae Rally
  Plus - doesn't require much computer power these days.
  Plus - you can get straight in and drive - car is VERY chuckable.
  Minus - more than a bit arcadey

  Best if you want something you can just sit in and drive.

  In my opinion, CMR is the more fun game, Mobil Rally 1 is the better
simulation.
