Colin McRae Rally is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. It features 8 official cars and their drivers and rallies from the 1998 World Rally Championship season, in addition to 4 extra cars.[2] A 2D version was released for the Game Boy Color in Europe in 2001. It was developed by Spellbound and published by THQ.
Colin McRae Rally is a rally simulation game, featuring the works-entered cars and the rallies of the 1998 World Rally Championship. There are three difficulty modes in the game, and each mode offers different cars: the Novice mode offers FWD F2-class cars, such as the SEAT Ibiza F2 Kit Car, the Intermediate mode offers 4WD World Rally Car class cars, such as the Subaru Impreza WRC, and the Expert mode offers the ability to unlock bonus cars, such as Ford Escort MKII, Lancia Delta Integrale, Audi Quattro S1, and Ford RS200. There are a total of 12 cars, produced using laser-modelling.[2] When released in North America in 2000, only 11 cars featured due to Codemasters losing the license to use Renault in Novice mode. Renault were replaced by extra drivers from the remaining 3 manufacturers. Also unlike in the European release of the game (real driver names), the American release has made-up driver names (apart from Colin McRae)
Seven official rallies (New Zealand, Acropolis (Greece), Australia, Monte Carlo, Sweden, Corsica, and the United Kingdom), and one unofficial rally (Indonesia) from the WRC were included in the game.[2] Rally Indonesia was originally part of the 1998 WRC season calendar, but the rally was cancelled due to civil unrest.[3] Although the rallies themselves are named the same as the real events, all of the stages are fictional.[4]
When the game was re-released on the PlayStation \"Value Series\" budget label in 2000, Rally Monte Carlo was renamed as Rally Austria. On the loading screen for each rally, 2000 replaced the year 1998. The intro was cut in the yellow Bestsellers version. Also the yellow logos on the Subaru Impreza car were removed. It's also noticeable on the front cover and viewable in the screenshots from the back cover.
Codemasters have cited the arcade game Sega Rally as a strong influence on Colin McRae Rally.[5] Other influences included the PC game Screamer Rally and the Nintendo 64 game Wave Race 64.[5] The company initially had some reservations on the viability of a realistic rally simulator, as similar games of the period such as V-Rally are only loosely based on the sport, essentially being head-to-head racing games in a rally-esque setting similar to rallycross; such an arcade mode would later be introduced in Colin McRae Rally 2.0. They eventually saw the potential after some early play testing with impromptu competitions within the team through an early prototype build of the game, prompting the team to move into full development.[5]
Dirt and Dirt Rally (stylized as DiRT and DiRT Rally, formerly known as Colin McRae Rally), also known as EA Sports Rally, is a rally racing video game series developed by Codemasters and published by Electronic Arts under its EA Sports label. In 2022, the franchise was rebranded as EA Sports Rally with both Dirt and Dirt Rally games being released under the brand. As a result, Codemasters had acquired the exclusive license to the World Rally Championship series in June 2020, which will begin as a five-year deal in 2023.
Started in 1998, the franchise has been a critical and commercial success and is generally acknowledged as a pioneer of realistic rally sports racing games. The series is named after the World Rally Championship driver Colin McRae, who provided extensive technical advice during development.
Colin McRae Rally, the first title in the series, was released for the PlayStation and Microsoft Windows platforms in January 1998 in the United Kingdom and in September 1999 in the United States. The game featured real cars and drivers from the 1998 World Rally Championship season. Colin McRae's Subaru Impreza was featured on the game's cover.
The first Colin McRae game released for the Xbox, as well as the PlayStation 2. It features rally cars from the 2002 World Rally Championship. A GameCube version was announced but it was cancelled. It uses an autosave feature. IGN ranked it as the 91st best PlayStation 2 game. The staff praised its improvement and technology.[50]
The 2013 game Colin McRae Rally shares the same name of the 1998 release but the game's content and driving model are taken directly from the 2000 title Colin McRae Rally 2.0. This version was released on iOS in 2013 and ported to Windows, OS X and Android in 2014.
Dirt Rally is a racing video game focused on rallying. It was announced on 27 April 2015, and was released into Steam's early access that day[52] and seeing its full release on 7 December 2015.[53] Versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released in April 2016.
A very well-known series of racing games with a rally theme could be named completely differently. At the time the game was created, the main star of the rally was the Finnish driver Tommi Mäkinen, who at the time when the development of this game was coming to a successful end, won his third world title. It is rumored that the Codemasters negotiated with him, but as can be seen, unsuccessfully, so another excellent rider, the Britain's Colin McRae, lent his name to the new series with \"only\" one world title. As time has shown, this connection has proved successful. Tommi Mäkinen also finally released a rally game called Tommi Mäkinen Rally, but it was released only on PS and was far from as successful as the competition from Codemasters.

The first in a long running series of rally games endorsed by the sadly missed Colin McRae, this is a fine driving game which should be in any fan's collection alongside Sega Rally and Network Q. It doesn't do anything radically new to the genre, but simply gets everything right by offering an extensive range of cars, tracks and options, and combining it all with a great sense of speed and excitement. As you'd expect, the main focus here is on a fairly epic rally tournament, that sees you racing across five different countries, with a good selection of cars to try out too. The countries include Greece, the UK and Australia, and each have their own unique challenges thanks to their different terrain types, while the cars include both four wheel and two wheel drive models, with a total of eight available. In addition to the main championship mode, you also have time trials, a practice mode and a couple of others to try out, including two player, which is perhaps where the game shines the most. Although this is showing its age rather, if you can get past any such prejudices, you're in for a good time here. The range of tracks and cars gives things plenty of replay value, as there is a real difference between them all, and they will take some time to master. There's a great sense of the thrills and spills of a real rally, and everything whizzes along at a fair old pace. The visuals are obviously looking less than slick nowadays, being a little blocky, but apart from this, Colin McRae still holds up well.
This game is only the first among 10 games in the series that have been released so far. After the eighth game, it was renamed Dirt and by that name is it most famous today. The game is a revolution in rally racing games for its realism and detail in the representation of real life rally races. Coli
