The original CMR, released on PC and PlayStation in 1998, is dear to me because it was my very first console video game. You cannot start a rally game feature without mentioning these two seminal titles. ![]() In no particular order… Colin McRae Rally and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 Without further ado then, here’s our definitive list of great rally games. Based on this ruleset, games that have off-road racing such as Forza Horizon 4 or DIRT 5 do not count. Other dirt-racing, such as rallycross, is acceptable, but if ‘stage rally’ isn’t included too, then it’s not a rally game to me. Which is why I enjoy a good virtual rally session – it’s the closest I’ll ever get.įor me, a ‘rally game’ must include point-to-point racing against the clock to count. Professional drivers and co-drivers are a different breed. While those of us who are into racing video games like to think they’d be pretty handy down the local go-karting circuit, I know for certain that I wouldn’t be successful at rallying. It’s always worth the 4 am walk through a muddy forest in the dark. ![]() Trust me when I say there is nothing like standing at the side of a rally stage and watching a turbocharged, four-wheel-drive, monster being thrashed by someone from France or Scandinavia.
