Colin McRae 2005 Plus – Codemasters

Hello there,
Some personal reasons kept me from writing. This doesn’t mean that my PSP was forgotten in a corner. It saw quite a few games (I’ll have to check my saves list in order to refresh my memory though – they were quite a few).
I’ll write today a few words about the game that saw the screen of my toy most of the time I’ve missed this site. Obviously you can find it in the title of this article. I have no idea what “plus” comes from. I suspect that’s the PSP features – back in ’05 you can find the usual ad-hoc and as an extra (?) the possibility to send/update scores and replays. I didn’t bother to google it though, i don’t think that’s that important.
In one of the past articles I was writing about PC-PS2-PSP games comparison – assuming that is even possible. Well, so you can have a good idea this version is somewhat 95% like the PC version of the game – CMR 2005 doh 
.
What this game has to offer? Rally. Cars. Tuned cars (although back then they weren’t that popular). Actually I have no idea if WRC is that popular nowadays but I really like the idea of driving this kind of car in all sort of roads. You can find a lot on info on this here. Actually you’ll find there a pretty good idea of the cars you’ll find there, from the old “raw power” age till today’s extra regulated WRC cars including some special models like VW Beetle RSI, MK1 Escort or the legend Mini Cooper S. Plenty of choice here. The career mode makes you try them all and adapt your driving style according to the car you’re driving and the rally stage you’re in – mind the weather to, it’s not a factor to neglect either.
Overall, one of the best car games ever – if you don’t like the rally and motor sports give it a 8. If you do, it’s almost perfect, 9.5! Make sure this game lands on your PSP!
