CRC 2005 is just a terrific game on all fronts. It borrows the supurb graphics from Insane(especially the cockpit views), adds a wide range of tracks and gameplay options, a great number of well done cars/trucks and caps it off with a "not to complicated" capacity to customize your cars performance for different types of tracks. It runs smooth as silk on my Athlon 64-3500/Radeon X850 Pro-256 mg. video card/1 GiG PC 3200/400 RAM at 1600 resolution with all settings maxed out. You can unlock all cars/tracks with an easy cheat code("fillmychart") typed in at the main racetrack icon screen and clicking on the up arrow at the top. This gives you immediate access to everything and I like to have this ability without spending tons of time "earning it"(just my preference). Sound is a bit "twitchy" and requires some tweaking in the sound settings to get it right. The game is priced right and is a terrific value for all you get + the endless replay value.
