    Colin McRae Rally 04 is a 2003 racing video game developed and published by Codemasters for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows.

    Gameplay

    [edit]

    There are six championships to complete in the game. There are 4 classes of cars: 4WD, 2WD, Group B and Bonus. The bonus class are cars that are not usually raced in rallies. These cars are only here for extra pleasure. The game has rally tracks in 8 countries with a total of 52 stages.

    Unlike in the previous three games, this game has no official WRC team license. All of the cars' liveries are either fictitious or taken from championships other than the WRC. Nicky Grist is replaced by Derek Ringer as the primary co-driver voice in the game, though Grist's voice set is still accessible via game settings.

    Release

    [edit]

    Colin McRae Rally 04 was initially released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in Australia and Europe on 19 September 2003,[1][2] with the Xbox version alone releasing in North America the following year on 2 March 2004.[3] A port for Windows was released in Europe on 2 April 2004 and in Australia on 23 April 2004.[4][5]
