Game Summary:
This was the first Colin McRae game released for the PlayStation 2, as well as the Xbox. A GameCube version was announced but it was cancelled. It uses an autosave feature.

4WD Cars included in this version’s Stages mode are: Ford Focus RS WRC 02 - 300BHP, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII - 290BHP, Citroën Xsara Kit Car - 290BHP and Subaru Impreza WRX (44S) - 288BHP.

Extra cars are: Ford Focus RS WRC 01 - 300BHP, Citroën Xsara(FWD) - 285BHP; Mitsubishi Pajero(4WD) - 191BHP;

There are eight countries: Sweden (snow), Japan (wet tarmac), UK (wet tarmac/gravel and mud), Finland (gravel), Spain (dry concrete/tarmac), Australia (dry loose pea gravel), USA (gravel and dusty tarmac), and Greece (dry rough gravel). Each Rally takes place during 2 days with 3 Special Stages each and final Super Special Stage at the end of the second day. There are service areas between the 2 days (meaning 3 special stages, then a service area, other 3 special stages, last service area, and then super special stage 7 (night)). It is not possible to manually repair the damage of the car. It is calculated and repaired automatically. Also the setup of the car is most of the times already adjusted to the stages conditions.

The championship takes place over three years (2002, 2003, 2004), with the difficulty increasing each year, as you race to try and become the Sparco Rally Champion in Colin McRae’s Ford Focus RS WRC ’02. Six rallies take place each season. The car featured on the front cover of the game was the Ford Focus WRC ’02 (EK 51 HXZ) from the 2002 Rallye de Catalunya.

The Subaru Impreza WRX was modelled, including the license plate, from the car belonging to John Griffin, who helped with some of the research for the game. He still owns the car as of 2008.
