I hadn't seen or heard an awful lot about Cross Racing Championship 2005 when I was given the chance to review it, so I wasn't brimming with excitement while installing I have to say. In all honesty the rally genre has never appealed to me at all, Colin McRae rally is one that springs to mind and I despised that game with a passion. But on the other hand I'm totally in love with the more fun car racing games out there, like Need for Speed and some of the various Formula 1 games that have popped up over the years. I have to admit that I did suspect that this was just another bloody racing game.
