From the developers of the multi-million selling game franchise, (and finally making the leap from console to mobile), Colin McRae Rally is now available for download on both iPhone and iPad.
Started in 1998, the Colin McRae Rally franchise is described as being both a “critical” and “commercial success,” and is generally acknowledged as the pioneer of realistic rally sports racing games. The series was originally named after the World Rally Championship driver, Colin McRae, who provided technical advice during the game’s development.
Despite McRae’s reported death in September 2007, however, Codemasters retained the use of his name on their rally games until the release of Dirt 3, the release of which saw the company drop the moniker.
Taking the main features from Colin McRae Rally 2, that players who own the game will likely already be familiar with, Colin McRae Rally for iOS features 30, (yes, thirty!) rally stages for you to defeat, with all the tracks together equaling a combined virtual distance of over 130km.
