Great game.
It's so unfortunate that Richard Burns lost his battle with cancer. He truly was a master of his sport, and great fun to watch. This is by far the best rally simulator you can buy. The level of tuning that you can do to the car is intimidating. I had to read up on a few things to figure out what settings I should use, but if you're familiar with the inner workings of a rally car then you'll be fine. You really need a wheel for this one because it is a simulator and the keyboard just doesnt give you enough control over the level of throttle, brake, and steering that you need to complete the stages. There are a number of rally games out there if you want an arcade-style game where you can hold the throttle button for the entire race, but this game is different. Your car will be wrapped around a tree pretty quickly if you try that. Don't expect it to be easy and don't expect to be winning races like you do in other games. Fortunately, there's an awesome "Rally School" series of tutorials that you can go through to prepare yourself for the real races. He starts you out with the simple stuff and then takes you into under/oversteering, power slides, hairpin turns, and the scandinavian flick. I've played the other rally games like the Colin McRae series and Xpand Rally, but this is much more realistic and a great option if you're ready for it.
