Jan 23, 2018 - Contains the 1.1 Patch, the official Windows XP x64 Patch and a Crack for Colin McRae Rally 2005. The WinXP x64 Patch makes the game.

Codemasters returns to the back roads and two-tracks with this '2005' addition to its flagship rally racing series. In an RPG-influenced 'Career Challenge' mode, this year's Colin McRae game has players working their way up the circuits from behind the wheels of classic two-wheel drive, super two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and super-four-wheel drive class automobiles. The game features more than 30 different vehicles total, including models by Alfa Romeo, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Races are set in nine international locations.

When it comes to driving games, there are two essential types: arcade demolition derbies that leave one hand to fend for beer and cheesy puffs, and hardcore replications of real-world physics. Colin McRae Rally 2005 is of the latter species: a relatively unforgiving yet smartly designed simulation of off-road hill-humping, mud-chucking, gravel-flinging racing with the best-looking visuals on any system, hands down. If you're not familiar with the genre, rally racing retains some of the grassroots spirit the mega-corporate auto events lack.

Rally cars are specially designed street-legal vehicles raced independently against a timer along on- and off-road tracks with a co-driver reading pace notes for upcoming sections of the course (to assist the driver in taking hills and turns at optimal speeds and vectors). Rally championships are divided into a series of stages, and winners are determined according to overall combined best times.

Colin McRae Rally 2005 takes the best features of its earlier incarnations and raises the vehicle tally to 30, from the Toyota Celica GT-FOUR and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII to the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA and VW Beetle RSi (my picks for absentees include the Porsche 911 and Toyota Corolla). Each vehicle handles differently but with marked attention to realistic proportionality, thus the 2WD Peugeot 205 shreds on straightaways but can't handle quick turns with the muscularity of the 4WD Subaru Impreza WRX. There are no arbitrarily 'poor' performers here, but merely better and worse vehicle types for certain courses as well as driving styles. In addition to taking the helm as Colin McRae himself in the classic championship mode, there's a new career option that drops you into different locales for each stage of a race. In career mode, you can take on 23 different events ranging from championships to cups and supercups, as well as drive a variety of car classes; performing well earns career points that eventually unlock special events and rally cars. The courses themselves will be a wake-up call for traditional racers new to rally racing, ranging from wet asphalt and loose gravel to potholed dirt roads and treacherous snow-packed pulse-pounders.

There are now nine international locations (a new German rally is included with Australia, Finland, Greece, Japan, Spain, Sweden, USA, and UK), each modeled with realistic attention to locale topography. There are eight stages per event, but the length of each leaves something to be desired, running dramatically shorter than most real-life rally courses. Servisnij rezhim chassis mc 049b. The series needs more stage and track diversity, with at least an option to run a few longer 10-15 minute jogs (a typical C2-class rally can take up to 30 minutes per stage!) compared to the average 3-4 minute sprints in Colin McRae Rally 2005.
