The first ‘Colin McRae’ title since the racing driver’s untimely death had a lot to live up to. The game takes place over four continents: Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, over five different modes: rally, rally cross, trailblazer, land rush and raid.

The real world environments are as diverse as jungle mud roads to bustling cities, while the main playerÂ’s headquarters is a messy mobile home that travels from event to event. A new multiplayer mode should also get additional engines revving.
