Colin McRae Rally '05 for X-Box is hott!
Yo,
I just got this game and it is unreal! If you like racing games, you will love this! Its got a whole bunch of tight cars including the evo 8 and wrx. The graphics are simply incredible. The gameplay is just so realistic and the damage modeling is insane! I can't say enough about this game. Go get it NOW!

Colin McRae '05 rules
I'm totally with you dude. Been playing the game for about a month now and it totally rocks. Very nice setup options for the car, decent damage model, very good stages, improved graphics and xbox live support.
Hehe, look for Ludikraut on the stage high scores ... I think I still got a top 5 somewhere with my Evo

Has anybody played Richard Burns Rally? You can drive an Evo in that too but it has one huge flaw: It's insanely difficult. The physics are more real world in it and you have to induce oversteer by throttle lift, Scandanavian flick, or braking; all of which Richard teaches you. It's really really difficult to drive fast in the game and you have to brake earlier than in most 'simulations.' I don't think I've driven a single stage in that game without going off the road. It's a cool game, just very hard to control the car. Might be easier with a steering wheel, but I don't have one .

Yes, I am playing RBR right now. CMR05 (0x for that matter) absolutely blows compared to RBR. And I've played CMR 1-5.
RBR is insane, the best racing game I have ever played. And I've played a lot of them. The tarmac stages are simply phenomenal. Beating RB in the challenge mode is a treat in itself. But when you do, it feels good I just beat him by 5 seconds in the Cote d'Arbroz tarmac stage last night (with the Evo 7).

i have both mcrae 03 and 04, i didnt even know that 05 was out. the first two seemed to be lacking a few things, but i really enjoyed both. is mcrae 4 as good as rallisport challenge 2. even though they are way different, are the graffics comparable, and the style of gameplay. if they are close i am off to get this game tonight.

[pause] Halo 2 ...
Ok, this may net me some flames, but ... IMO ... Rallisport 2 sucks big time!!! The first Rallisport was ok, but I've never liked the way the cars handle ... just not realistic at all, and RS2 did nothing to improve this. If anything it's worse. IMO Rallisport is very "arcady", whereas CMR gives you a much better feel for the car and has decent models for how different the FWD vs. AWD vs. RWD cars handle. Graphics on CMR '05 are closer to Rallisport than before, but the scenery is still better in Rallisport.
[resume] ... Halo 2
