    Colin McRae Rally 04 is a rally racing video game developed and published by Codemasters. It was released in September 2003 in Europe and is the fourth incarnation of the Colin McRae Rally series. (The game was supposed to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, and Xbox in North America in 2004, but Codemasters declined to release the Windows and PS2 versions on 29 January 2004.[1]) It is also the first game in the series to drop the official World Rally Championship license. Its previous game was Colin McRae Rally 3 and was followed by Colin McRae Rally 2005. Like all other Colin McRae Rally games, it is a blend of simulation and arcade style handling.

    Gameplay

    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.

    This fourth incarnation of the Colin McRae Rally series, unlike in the previous three games, 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 voiceset is still accessible via game settings.
