Colin McRae Rally 2.0 offers realistic physics, meaning players must learn to master the balance between the throttle and brakes while using sliding techniques to cover ground as fast as possible. The game features highly detailed 3-D cars, scenery from around the world, four modes of play--rally, arcade, time trial, and multiplayer--and support for up to four players with one cartridge via the Game Boy Advance link cable. Colin McRae Rally 2.0 also offers expert assistance from the onscreen icons, pace notes from Nicky Grist, an array of different surfaces that must be mastered (often on the same course), and real cars from the World Rally Championship.
