I have one way to further insult this game. Microsoft Train Simulator was released in 2001, and didn't contain forward facing sprites. This game was released in 2014, and contains forward facing sprites.
Most of the stuff in the game has equal graphics to a PS2 game! I tell you what, I had Rollercoaster World as a child, and I remember the graphics that it had.
Colin McRae 2.0 was probably the best racing game back in the day. Still got my copy of it :) fantastic game, shame I can't run it on Windows 8 unless anyone can help
The sad thing is that CMR2.0 still runs fine on Windows 7 most of the time (albeit it looks weird on widescreen monitors) and looks pretty reasonable - certainly compared to this. And they emulated the wrong goddamn Focus!
He says he could get something much better for the same money he spent on this game, but ultimately he's getting the money back and so much more just from this video.
Just got this in the humble bundle, thinking it was the original.. Boy was i wrong. the second i booted it and saw the shitty ass menu's i instantly pressed ALT + F4 and deleted this piece of shit from my pc
I got this in the Codemasters Humble Bundle alongside Grid 2, and came from playing Grid 2 to try this...yeah. Also 'It's running in Unity' isn't a defence for a crappy game plenty of decent games have been made in Unity and if it's a substandard engine then the developers shouldn't have used it!
Kiva Draig Yeah i know! Now i have played it for around 4 hours.. i think i've had enough already. ''1980's break-dancer.'' hahahaha! That actually made me laugh.. :') That's good to know it's fun! if i can afford it ill probably pick the game up. :) Hopefully i can enjoy it as much as you!
The last Humble Bundle had it. It was with Dirt Showdown and Colin McRae Rally for I think 1 USD here. I don't know how it translates to AUD but I'm sorry you missed out. :O If you ever get the chance check out Bundle Stars too. I just got a bundle of Sniper 2: Ghost Warrior, Overture, Guacamelee: Turbo edition and a few others for 2.99 USD. Now you too can look like a big shot on a Twitch stream! Give aways and what not. :D
the graphics are meh but gameplay wise its pretty good the thing bothering me is that why the lancia stratos which is a rwd has more grip than the other three cars in the game which is those 3 cars are 4wd
Mikhael Serrano The Lancia was made of steel, and powered by a cast iron NA V6. Of course its going to have more grip than carbon fibre and aluminum cars that are powed by turbocharged boxers.
This looks even worse, and not only visually so, when you put it next to stuff like Warhammer 40k: Deathwatch - Enhanced Edition. Which, incidentally, is a damn fine game and, most of all, an *_amazing_* port. Probably the best one I've ever seen. They seriously polished that game up, added a bit more content, built it on a *_different and better engine_* for PC and removed *_ANY AND ALL microtransactions_*. Even minor shit like the menus is largely redesigned in a way that's completely fine for PC gaming with mouse controls. Hell - your Marines have little random conversations about the current situation during missions, and they will even bitch and poke fun at each other when they're from certain different chapters! That's love! That's effort! That's attention to detail! That's how you do it! *_And now look back at that burning train wreck in the video up there!_*
Watching this, reminded me of an old Rally sport game I used to have on the original Xbox. I think it was Rally sport challenge 2... I don't quite remember but it was actually a great rally game considering the console. Had awesome damage mechanics, immersive environments and tracks, I mean shit, the Australia maps actually looked like Australia. They had lots of sand dunes, smatterings of bush and trees, and some really really slippery dirt roads. I miss that game.. Too bad they don't make Xbox emulators that work...
***** They weren't quite dunes. I mispoke there. They were more like... sand banks? Along the sides of some of the roads. Not all of them were sand I think, but it was almost like... a single dune, sometimes with a sharper edge.
Thank god DiRT Rally and DiRT 4 happened and wiped this GOD-AWFUL game out of our memories!!!! But Codemasters REALLY needs to learn not to say lies and pretend that this is an HD Remake rather than a terrible port.
Jorel Shuster Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (Which i think this one is) came out in 2000, this is just that game put in the app store, then made for PC based on the mobile game. Don't complain about the graphics.
The handling was just as bad in CMR 2.0 and the reason why you can't see damage to the front of the car when you are looking at the rear is obvious. Btw this looks much better than CMR 2.0..
I can't for the life of me figure out why people would rather play games on a cell phone with a little 2x2 screen rather than on a comfortable computer with a large widescreen. It seems gaming is going the way of Android and I-Phones, with less games being made for PC, and to make matters worse porting up to a PC. What's wrong with these developers!
+The1080pGamer No it was not, it was originally a PC/Mac game, and was eventually ported over to mobile. Also keep in mind, the PC version was given the game of the year award, NOT the mobile port.
For those who want a awesome rally game on mobile, go for Rush Rally 2. Pretty, complete, fun, and cheap, no microtransactions.(it's not F2P thank God)
Because it isnt completely shit, it's cheap and they did actually say it's a HD remake, but they lied about the HD remake AND that it isn't a mobile game.
This isn't even good as a mobile phone game, considering I have WRC 4 on my Vita which is eighteen times the game this is and on sale cost me only twice as much
Haha, recently picked up Colin McRae Rally 4 for PS2 for a quid at a game shop and it looks infinitely better than this pile of arse and has competent multiplayer! Dan, Please do a video on one of the PS2/1 Collin McRae Rallys.
GUYS. Rush Rally 2. Ultimate Rally Game on mobile. No discussion. And before you say "blah blah mobile shit" without even checking it: it's not free2play and don't have micro transactions.
Maybe they were sly and meant HD as Hand Device....
Charlie Fleming wow
+Charlie Fleming for a 1998 game look amazing
Charlie Fleming idk but that's entirely possible...
Little update to this ‘HD remake’ it’s no longer on Steam 🙂
I have one way to further insult this game. Microsoft Train Simulator was released in 2001, and didn't contain forward facing sprites. This game was released in 2014, and contains forward facing sprites.
Dan It came out 2014? Looks like it's from 2003, latest.
Mmmm. Forward facing sprites. Delicious.
Your profile pic fits so perfectly.
Only good in stylized horror games.
Sadly this game is only scary to Rally game fans.
On mobile, it's really not that bad. On PC it can burn in hell.
That actually sums up my thoughts on the game. :P
***** It's not. It's fine for short periods on your phone. It's nothing special, but it does the job of 5 minute entertainment
Ran well on mobile phones? I remember playing it and my phone wasn't able to load some levels
When they call the AI CPU, they aren't kidding! It seems to be just the CPU calculating, with no model or anything that needs graphics.
but, there is no calcualting...
the CPU thingy is just going forward at a stable speed.
Well in Rally you never see another car (unless they crashed or something), you just try to beat their time.
Most of the stuff in the game has equal graphics to a PS2 game! I tell you what, I had Rollercoaster World as a child, and I remember the graphics that it had.
Even UA-cam gaming pretends this shitty port doesn't exist.
Them 200+ dislike's are mobile users and the developers.
Must be multi accounters too, because I highly doubt there are that many developers involved nor people that actually think mobile games are good ^.^
Colin McRae 2.0 was probably the best racing game back in the day. Still got my copy of it :) fantastic game, shame I can't run it on Windows 8 unless anyone can help
Try running it in compatibility mode
Yeah, all works now :)
That's great to hear!
The fps is quite low though when playing on modern operating systems (win8 and 7)
[OD]Maggy If there's a frame limiter, maybe use that.
I feel that Colin McCray would have been very disappointed with this, God rest his soul
Spelt his name wrong.
Anyone notice that the CPU doesn't exist?
Alex Hebda You don't race a actual person in rally, you race their time
It's worse than that. It's not only port of mobile game, but FUCKING JAVA ONE! I remember playing that on my Nokia 6151.
The sad thing is that CMR2.0 still runs fine on Windows 7 most of the time (albeit it looks weird on widescreen monitors) and looks pretty reasonable - certainly compared to this. And they emulated the wrong goddamn Focus!
He says he could get something much better for the same money he spent on this game, but ultimately he's getting the money back and so much more just from this video.
Just get Colin McRae Rally 04 (my personal favorite game, spent way too many hours on the PS2 version)
I was about to scream at you for making a hell video of this game. (Then I watched the video)
When this video was uploaded HumbleBundle had a bundle up that included Deus Ex: The Fall.
Colin would be turning in his grave at this shit.
If you squint you can see driveclub
***** If you squint, you can see a drunk guy named Billy Bob Johnson.
Jack Pred AYY LMAO
CraptasticJack Oh hey CJ.
lel :P hey guise
Who remembers The Original 1,2,3 rallys
Dirt Rally 2.0: I will *SHOW you* how to honor Colin McRae's memory.
i dont even know what colin mcrae rally 1 / 2.0 is and this still makes me violently want to make a real hd remake
TreeAtmos They are older games from what is now the Dirt series. Pretty good rally sims for the PS1 era.
JP Onefourseven oh hey. thanks
i see why this game is in nerds³ HELL+EVEN MOAR HELL
Just got this in the humble bundle, thinking it was the original.. Boy was i wrong. the second i booted it and saw the shitty ass menu's i instantly pressed ALT + F4 and deleted this piece of shit from my pc
+Rick McB Right now I'm just leaving it up for cards.
The Colin McRae rally 2 on the PS2 is by far the best and most realistic rally game evry to be made.
I got this in the Codemasters Humble Bundle alongside Grid 2, and came from playing Grid 2 to try this...yeah.
Also 'It's running in Unity' isn't a defence for a crappy game plenty of decent games have been made in Unity and if it's a substandard engine then the developers shouldn't have used it!
Is the opposing CPU racer seriously invisible? What in the actual fuck...
You can pick this game up along with 4 others at the moment FOR $1!
+NitroCorn $1.33 for us Aussies.
+NitroCorn "Playing" it while waiting for Grid 2 to download. Figured I'd grab some cards in the meantime.
Kiva Draig Same here man! And not a bad game i guess? Good luck kiva.
Kiva Draig Yeah i know! Now i have played it for around 4 hours.. i think i've had enough already.
''1980's break-dancer.'' hahahaha! That actually made me laugh.. :')
That's good to know it's fun! if i can afford it ill probably pick the game up. :) Hopefully i can enjoy it as much as you!

your UA-cam favorite youtuber
What I am questioning is, how can they use his name when Colin McRae is Dead?
Also now they changed the description... hmmm
this game is in the current humble bundle.
Wait THERE'S A REMAKE OF 2.0!!! I didn't even know about this?! Why did they do this!? At least I still have the Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0 on PC.
I remember Rally 2.0. Hell, I still have an old PC in my corner with it on it. I might just set it up and dick around in it for a while.
many of the shadows for trees and bushes etc are also facing the wrong way 😂
the graphics are meh but gameplay wise its pretty good the thing bothering me is that why the lancia stratos which is a rwd has more grip than the other three cars in the game which is those 3 cars are 4wd

Hell must return.
Rally '04 all day long
I can't believe colin mcrally 3 is more fun than the new one.

*****
They were quite common in some of the deeper outback levels. When you were racing past or through small pockets of bush along red dirt roads.
Simpsons Hit & Run had forward facing sprites.
I want a real HD remake of Ridge Racer Type 4.
dirt rally 3 it is free on the Humble Store
Thank god DiRT Rally and DiRT 4 happened and wiped this GOD-AWFUL game out of our memories!!!! But Codemasters REALLY needs to learn not to say lies and pretend that this is an HD Remake rather than a terrible port.
Pine trees? In Australia?
wow even a modern phone can do better graphics then that for example real racing 3
Jorel Shuster Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (Which i think this one is) came out in 2000, this is just that game put in the app store, then made for PC based on the mobile game. Don't complain about the graphics.
Australia isn't known for Uluru? no? ok...
bloons TD5. best ever phone game and it was put onto pc
Reminds me of v rally 3 on the game boy advance... That had very similar forward facing sprites and shitty backgrounds
The handling was just as bad in CMR 2.0 and the reason why you can't see damage to the front of the car when you are looking at the rear is obvious. Btw this looks much better than CMR 2.0..
+krampus_ Wow then it had to look like shit considering this looks worse than most ps1 games did.
pshyis With the resolution and the texture quality this looks much better.
+krampus_ lol so then the other must have looked horrible as this looks 90% ripped off a ps1 game.
pshyis Yes. it does.
I can't for the life of me figure out why people would rather play games on a cell phone with a little 2x2 screen rather than on a comfortable computer with a large widescreen.

cough Dirt Rally
"haych-dee remake"
So he's saying Australia's ugly what bull shit
Officialnerdcubed
Should I start making Colin Mcrae 2.0 videos again ? :D
play acinator and think of urself its crazy
Odd I am poor and most of nerd's Hell games look fun...I am a basic bitch
Jesus
I go this game for 10p on Android.
far cry 4 has front facing sprites
it has, but not than noticeable
in 2014 you could have gotten asphalt 8 for free. or payed for asphalt 7 for cheaper.
GoG all the way.
Plants vs. Zombies was a game of the year and it was mobile...
+The1080pGamer
No it was not, it was originally a PC/Mac game, and was eventually ported over to mobile.
Also keep in mind, the PC version was given the game of the year award, NOT the mobile port.
This is the same unity file
For those who want a awesome rally game on mobile, go for Rush Rally 2. Pretty, complete, fun, and cheap, no microtransactions.(it's not F2P thank God)
It really annoys me the CPU is invisible
You don't race a physical person in rally racing, you race their time
LoganThe Llama But they're still racing in real time with you. You should be able to see them.
Ps1 mmmmmmm
If this is shit, Why is it not on Nerd3's Poop Games of 2014 list?
Because it isnt completely shit, it's cheap and they did actually say it's a HD remake, but they lied about the HD remake AND that it isn't a mobile game.
This isn't even good as a mobile phone game, considering I have WRC 4 on my Vita which is eighteen times the game this is and on sale cost me only twice as much
Knights of the old republic and FTL were better imho on mobile.
Try asphalt 8. One actually good game from a mobile phones
I thought Codemasters were better.
Haha, recently picked up Colin McRae Rally 4 for PS2 for a quid at a game shop and it looks infinitely better than this pile of arse and has competent multiplayer! Dan, Please do a video on one of the PS2/1 Collin McRae Rallys.
Windows 95 graphics much
Also sh@t gameplay
This is an embarrassment to racing games, even more so than the latest Need for speed game. Long live Grand Turismo 2 on the PS1.
Haha
this is most shameful fucking thing ever. codemasters should be ashamed.
Tyler Coates Got it on sale. Worth 1 buck for a mobile port. Good for wasting 30min of time.
³³³³³³³³
Get this game piece of shit off steam send them 1 million complaints
I like Colin McRae Dirt 1 but this wow it's rubbish
Rallisport Challenge back in 2001 looked much better than this game.
Slender Man it was hell
Devin Van Den Cole
hell on wheels...
Good lord those graphics. The developer man quite obviously hasn't played Colin McRae Rally since this looks like a big pile of shit.
nerd
69...
So many things from this game looks like DiRT 3. Wtf...?
***** ...
Race Cake dirt 3 is actualy colin mcrae rally game
Race Cake Dirt 2,3 is Colin McRae...
Probably they've replaced mobile textures and some models (obviously not trees) with dirt ones.
they ruined cmr legacy... :/
If you want a good FREE racing app, get Asphalt 8 airborne.
Sam Patrick the problem is that you hit a paywall quickly
GUYS. Rush Rally 2. Ultimate Rally Game on mobile. No discussion. And before you say "blah blah mobile shit" without even checking it: it's not free2play and don't have micro transactions.
Remastered for HD?
Yeah, remastered for HD my ass,
This looks like a bottom of the barrel PS2 game,
It's a mobile phone port.
Clash Royale is good
When I was 4 I played 3and4 and it's way better than this crap I has better graphics than this crap
The ps1 version was worse
No it wasn't. How dare you.
