...and Happy Puppy's top tip is that you should use the Subaru WRC as it is the best handling car in the game (and this time Colin has a Focus, what can I say).

Exclamation

Having nosed on the CD it would seem that there are the following cars:

Ford Focus, Ford Focus 1999, Ford Focus Alternate 1, Ford Focus Alternate 2, Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Lancer Alternate 1, Mitsubishi Lancer Alternate 2, Mitsubishi Lancer Road Car, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Impreza, Peugeot 206, Seat Cordoba, Lancia Integrale, Lancia Integrale Alternate , Lancia Integrale Alternate 2, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Mini Cooper S, MG Metro 6R4, Lancia Stratos, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, Ford Racing Puma

Also if anyone is interested in cheats then these could be worth trying:

FIREBALL, REDUCED GRAVITY, MIRROR TRACKS, AGGRESSIVE CARS, BOUNCY COLLISIONS, TURBO BOOST, MONSTER TRUCK, FASTER CARS

I haven't played the game yet so don't know if any of them work.

I don't think much of Prima's teaser booklet (trying to sell you their strategy guide book)... They get oversteer and understeer nicely muddled up in the setup guide, both in the power distribution and brake bias sections, so that's a good advert for the book.

Most people in the office agreed the Impreza was the best car - try it with the new Ferrari wheel - AMAZING

Thumbs down

It's a sad fact but in GT2, I found the Impreza WRC car between 2 and 5 seconds slower on most of the Dirt circuits.

Pretty sad huh!

Bouhgt my copy on Sat. from Woolies.....£29.99 with free memory card.
Game looks great......Finland - lots of trees, France v.v.FAST....
Already managed to rip boot spoiler off!!
Some of the sounds are a little strange, i.e. very squeaky springs when going over a bump and the screech of tyres on tarmac sounds like its been stolen from a Tom & Jerry cartoon.
Nice big gold alloys on tarmac stages though

Got my copy today ! Great so far.
I was most impressed after having an outrageous 'moment' and seeing the right hand indicator stuck on - cool !

Anyone know when Driver2 is out on PSX ?

Perhaps with Colin's record this season, they should have renamed it Richard Burns Rally. There have been rumours that it's been delayed somewhat due to Ford's lacklustre performance. The appearance of 2 similar rally games on the PC months ago affirms this.
I wonder whether the Focus is as prone to mechanical problems in the game as Colin would have everyone believe in real life. Does it go phut when driven over a rock ?

I cannot get Bleem! to work on my PC. It plays the FMV intros, but locks ups when it tries tp play the games. Anybody had similar problems with it??

Back on topic.

CM2 - top, top game - they really squeeze the best out of the PS1 graphics.

Autocar rated Four stars although at the same time they say that at it's best it is better than GT2 (five stars).

It is very, very good especially the flame outs on gear changes just like Moray

A couple of questions tho'

Is it just me or does the Focus sound like a broken hairdryer, and the Evo like a broken washing machine?

And why does the spec for the Focus include a "Catalytic Converter" - 'cos if it's true it has been converted into toast by the anti-lag

John,

that's not fair - I haven't got my free copy yet....I'm gonna ask about the T-shirts. What party of Sony does your brother's mate work for? - I may know him!

BTW - I started work this morning dancing on a dance mat to the new 'Jungle Book' dancing game on PlayStation - superb!

Regards
