Sadly not - you can play against players using the same platform as you this is a limitation of the PS2 and Xbox online services.Īre there any new control/driving features?Ĭolin himself suggested one - the "Hard Steer" function.
Loads - these can be seen in the cars section of the CMR2005 website - In particular, we've got the Lancia Stratos, a firm fan favourite from CMR2 which is making it's debut on the new generation of consoles in a CMR game, we've got all-new cars from Ford (the Fiesta rally concept) Alfa (the 146) and Toyota (Celica GT-S and the classic ST185 GT-Four).ĬM05 features online gaming - does this mean Xbox users play against PS2 and PC players and vice versa?

In parts, but it's been refined pretty much throughout. There's always a lot of excitement about a new Colin McRae game, and with the new features incorporated into Colin McRae Rally 2005 there's a lot of anticipation, especially for the new career mode which takes you through 23 different classes of championship over 300 stages!ĭoes CM05 use the same graphics engine as CM04?
