Colin McRae Rally 04 on Xbox recommended

Chris Cavin recommended the Xbox version of Colin McRae Rally 04 for its setup options and variable conditions. redTed objected to console talk, leading to a sweary exchange with Jason Moyer over the group's charter. The dispute was settled after Chris explained his reasons.

Good stuff. It's X-Box, but I find it a lot of fun none the less. If you've got an X-Box I highly recommend it, especially at $19.99. -Dirt-

I never said it was politically correct;) If you come across real driving sims on a console, be sure to let me know.
Real Driving Sims, that'll be Toca Race Driver 2 then "the ultimate racing simulator" with no qualifying and race distances from 3-6 laps. Andi. -- Remove only one zero to reply.

It's more realistic than anything else I've played on the X-Box, and I'd consider it a very good game if it were on the PC where I could use my steering wheel. Dozens of tire choices depending on the surface, adjustable springs, roll bars, ride height, gearing and steering ratio, variable weather conditions between stages, a fixed amount of time to repair damage, back-to- back stages where you CAN'T fix damage, there is ALWAYS damage of some sort (normal or heavy) and an unlockable option to have "realistic" damage, which ought to be pretty difficult considering the amount of damage I sustain using "normal" damage. Find someone with an X-Box and give it a try before you condemn it as fluff. -Dirt-

Here we go.. I never condemned it. I never called it fluff. I have the PC demo and it's great. I can't wait for the complete game. And if I was looking for a X-Box game I would not be browsing this newsgroup. The End ! (that was the censored version)

Funny, since you're not browsing for an X-Box game, how would you know where the best place to go would be. You'd know, if you were looking, that X-Box forums are sometimes cluttered with kids who post nonsense. This might be the best place to go to. Considering that CM4 will also be released for the PC and will likely be very similar to the X-Box version, I would consider this group to be an appropriate place to post. I mean, what's the big deal? Alanb

A bit slow on the old up take there, Carl. But a good try nonetheless.
