Colin McCrae Rally 2005 Announced
 May 1st, 2004 (12:00am) - Rally King, Colin McRae gets his drive of the year as Codemasters confirms that Colin McRae Rally 2005, the latest addition to the leading rally video game series, is in development and will launch this fall for the Xbox.
Set to be revealed at the upcoming 2004 E3 Expo, May 12-14 in Los Angeles, Colin McRae Rally 2005 takes the series forward with a massive multi-event Career Challenge, and new online head-to-head rallying, for up to 8 players, on Xbox Live. The all-new Career Challenge is the steering wheel-gripping heart of Colin McRae Rally 2005. Players will hurtle through over 20 different classes of rally events including Challenges, Cups, SuperCups, Shields and Championships, earning the right to compete against the very best. Offering real progression and the most diverse selection of rally cars to choose from, drivers will be pummeled through a staggering 300+ stages driving cars from 4-wheel drive, 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel Classics, Super 2-wheel, Rear Wheel, Distinctive and 4x4 classics. Beyond the Career Challenge, there is even more adrenaline-fuelled rally gaming with the title’s 4WD Championship, Rally, Stages and Online gaming modes. Just when drivers thought a McRae game couldn’t offer more detail or visual splendor, the game’s development team is cramming it in: the new hood-cam and an improved chase cam gives a real sensation of speed and undulation. Enhanced damage and scenery visuals include new individual damage models for every car. Should a driver crash into a tree, it’ll shudder and even drop leaves!
