I have to admit right-off that I don’t consider myself a gamer. I don’t have any game consoles, in fact the last one I had was a Sega Genesis! lol! I play solely on my Macintosh G5.

I only play a handful of games and three of those are driving games. I like driving games. Also I’m playing on a keyboard, not a wheel. Of those three games only one has the look and feel that keeps me interested for more than 10 minutes and that’s Colin McRae Rally.

This is one fun game! There’s not a large learning curve involved, just a couple minutes to get a feel for the cars and tracks and then you’re off.

If you’re anything like me you’ll end up with a favorite car setup and stick with it. I like the Peugeot 4wd. For me I feel that it sticks to the road best and is the most responsive in steering and acceleration, but I digress.

Until you get a feel for the car and the particular track you’ve picked you’ll probably spend much of your time running into trees and driving off into fields, but stick with it, before very long you’ll be burning up the tracks!
