"Colin McRae Rally" is a racing video game series developed and published by Codemasters for the PC, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance, Xbox, and N-Gage. The franchise has been a critical and commercial success and is generally acknowledged as the pioneer of realistic rally sports racing games. However, the car handling in the most recent games is best described as arcade.
The series is named for the late international rally driver Colin McRae, who provided technical advice during development.
Cars included in "Colin McRae Rally 3" are the Subaru Impreza WRX (44S), Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII, Citroën Xsara Kit Car, Citroën Saxo VTR, MG ZR, Ford Racing Puma, Fiat Punto, all available for Arcade mode. There are eight countries: Sweden (snow), Japan (wet tarmac), UK (wet tarmac/gravel and mud), Finland (gravel), Spain (dry concrete/tarmac), Australia (dry loose pea gravel), USA (gravel and dusty tarmac), and Greece (dry rough gravel).
The championship takes place over three years (2002, 2003, 2004) as you race to try and become the Sparco Rally Champion in Colin McRae's Ford Focus RS WRC '02. Six rallies take place each season. The car featured on the front cover of the game was the Ford Focus WRC '02 (EK51 HXZ) from the 2002 Rallye de Catalunya.
The extra cars included are: Ford Focus RS WRC '01, Lancia 037, Mitsubishi Pajero, Mitsubishi EVO VII RSII, Citroën Xsara, Ford Focus RS, Subaru Impreza 22B STi (2000-spec), Citroën 2CV. MG Metro 6R4, Ford RS200, and Subaru Impreza 44RD.
