about what i expected from the awkward teenage years between the colin mcrae/toca series and dirt/grid. wildly inconsistent difficulty combines with some of the most unstable driving i've ever experienced (those t1 rally raid cars are sent from hell) to make the low points of this game an awful slog. when it all comes together though, the game handles beautifully and shows a perfect glimpse of what's to come for codies' racing games. Would be half a star higher if they removed rally raids and CORR but just play the second game honestly
