This is definately the best racing game on GBA yet.

You start the game with 5 cars to choose from (you are awarded more as you progress). The cars are rendered in real 3D. This means that they rock and roll as you drive: You can really feel the weight behind them!

You can tweak the car at each 'service area'. So, you can repair any damage, change suspension, brakes, gears - you name it, you can tweak it.

There are over 40 tracks, each of them quite lengthy.

The sound is great, the engine noises perfect. As if this wasn't enough Colin McRae's real life co-driver calls the turns as you drive.

The best things is that you can play up to 4 players from 1 cartridge. There are 2 ways to do this: with the gamelink cable in arcade mode, or by taking turns in ANY game mode.

This title will keep you coming back for months.

COLIN MCRAE 2.0 FOR THE GBA IS THE FINEST VIDEO GAME TO BE PLAYED ON THE GBA. O.K. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS PLAYING IT ON THE CONSOLE BUT IT IS THE CLOSEST YOU WILL EVER GET. THE GRAPHICS ARN'T PERFECT, BUT THE GAMEPLAY WILL COMMAND OVER ANY GRAPHICS. FIRST OFF, IT USE A 3D ENGINE IN STED OF SPITES, WHICH GIVES THE CAR MOVEMENTS A HUGE BUST. MEANING IT PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SUSPENTION AND THE CAR WILL WOBBLE LIKE IN REAL RALLY RACING. THE CAR ALSO GETS DIRTIER, THATS AN AWSOME FEATURE, AND BEFORE AND AFTER A RACE, YOUR CAR WILL HAVE TO GO IN FOR REPAIRS DO TO WHETHER CONDITIONS AND DAMAGE. OVER ALL I GIVE IT TEN STARS.

The Playstation version of this title is easily the best rally game ever, and this is a faithful port. Graphics push the Game Boy Advance to the limit, and there are some great weather effects. There are plenty or curcuits to choose from, and they all look and play fairly different. It definetely feels like a rally game, as using the handbrake to drift through corners is required. But still, there is not a more addictive racing game on the market. If you own a Game Boy Advance, this is the DEFINITIVE racing game.
