In short, in just a few days, CMR2 has provided me with some of the most exhilarating gaming experience, awed me with the graphics, and seriously impressed me with the AI. With new PlayStation titles definitely grinding down with the PlayStation2 on the horizon, CMR2 seems more like a tranisition game - getting you used to the quality that the PlayStation2 should bring, but on the PlayStation!

The graphics in the game are amazing for a PlayStation title. The roads, mud tracks and surrounding areas are beautifully done. No repeating textures, no generic buildings, and no bad modelling! The eye candy is great: the sun is nicely done, your car leaves marks on the snow/mud/tarmac, taillights will break, bumpers will come off or your engine will smoke. The environmental effects are also brilliant - snow and rain are beautifully done. Codemasters kept all the neat weather effects from TOCA2 - rain will make your car headlights reflect on the wet road.

Gameplay within CMR2 is great. You can pit yourself against computer controlled cars, race a single rally stage, a single rally, a championship, a time trial, a challenge or multiplayer! Since in real life, rally cars do not go head-to-head but instead get around the tracks as quickly as possible, CMR2 allows you to play with up to four players, each taking it in turn to complete the rally.
Time-consuming, but a great option!
