Is Colin McRae Rally still worth playing in 2026?

The first entry in Codemasters' series, Colin McRae Rally imposes a demanding rally simulation carried by co-driver pace notes and a driving model on dirt, snow and tarmac of rare credibility for its time. The damage management, the stage variety and the demanding handling make it a genre reference on PlayStation. The 3D modelling and the number of tracks have aged. A pioneering simulation to recommend for rally fans and lovers of realistic retro driving.
