I finished CMR 4 playing the 2WD cars. I finished the tournament in 3rd, but didn't unlock anything. I'm trying out the 4WD's and I'm finding them very hard to drive on the first stage. They seem like overpowered monsters. I've played Rally Masters (and the 2WD's were easier, but I could at least drive the 4WD's), and the experience doesn't seem to translate over into Colin McRae Rally 4 very well. (I'd like to try a rear-wheel drive, I think that would be easier to transition to). Any tips? With the 2WD cars they were very hard to turn, especially when I took my foot off the gas- I ended up using the handbrakes to make sharp turns. The 4WD's turn way too much, they spin and slide all the time on the dirt.

A suggestion........... There are 2 stages between each service point. When you finish the second stage the game does the save and then you go onto the service area. So if you crash or are not happy with your placing, 1st, 2, or 3rd in the first stage or before you finish the second stage then start again for improvement. It will be safer or less frustrating for you to do well here than hope to do well the way you have been playing without these improvement attempts. magnulus wrote in message ...
