I've got CM4. Its a lot, lot better than WRC2 was. The handling is really good and I particularly like the testing of components between rallies. The stages are very good as well, some are similair to those in CM3 (much improved though)but the majority are new.

CM4 is pretty good, I like the graphics and it seems to drive nicely but it doesn't keep me entertained. I've done a couple of championships in various cars and I'm just bored with it so I've ordered WRC, will post up after I've played it

CM4 best rally game Ive played so far.

finished normal and advanced 2WD
finished normal and advanced 4WD

Really enjoyed it until I got up to expert 4WD. At this point the game will not let you use the top down view of the car, only the in car. Since I only play top down view type games this P***ed me off.

Cheers

I've got CM4 and really rate it, concerned by Dr Nick's comment though as I also only use this view (but I haven't got this far in the game yet)
Looked at WRC3 last w/e as I was thinking of buying it. The handling seems comparable, can't be more specific as I play CM4 with a wheel and I could only try WRC3 in the shop with the gamepad. What impressed me the most is the quality of the replays and IMO the cars sound better. On the downside there was no impression of speed and the backdrops looked dissapointing.
Hope this helps.

id say cmr4 is proberbly more "Simulation" with courses you would wish for...

wrc3 is more fun ("Arcade") with wrc stages and drivers etc..

WRC3 is by far the best. CMR4 is O.K but just not enough stages, I got bored with it straight away.

The current mags are giving WRC3 7/8 out of 10, with most saying CMR4 is better.

CMR4 was getting 9's and 10's when released. Says it all for me really.
