N-Gage: Colin Mcrae Rally, Codemasters
Not too bad at all. The graphics are nicely judged, with
the level of detail about right for a small screen. The
physics are impressive as you crash into trees and banks
and maybe suffer a rollover or two. There isn't quite
enough grunt in the CPU or memory to show after accident
damage but you do get nice touches like a flashing taillight
or two.
Starting off in a time trial soon reveals you only get to play
in one place, but opting for a single rally soon changes the
scenery. Graduating from that, you can miss planes, trains,
and busses by going for a full championship and seeing a wide
variety of scenery from all around the world.
You can create driver profiles that include what nationality
and skill you are along with which car from a limited number
of car choices. Once you're going along in a rally, you
might damage the car and, like a real rally, you get to make
choices of what you can repair within the time limit.
