Codemasters unveil 'Colin McRae' trailer

The latest game in the best-selling Colin McRae series now has a downloadable online trailer available to view.

In the Colin McRae: Dirt trailer, the footage opens with cliff-edge cornering on Pikes Peak, one of the Hill Climb events. The video trails the bump and grind of buggy racing and reveals McRae’s very own prototype performance car, the R4, in a dramatic crash sequence.

Created using in-game vehicle and environmental models, this, according to Codemasters, "is just a first taste of the exhilaration Colin McRae: Dirt promises when it launches this June for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC, with a PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system edition following shortly after."

In the full game, the rally terrain ranges from the narrow mountain roads of Spain, the twisting forest roads of UK, the technical vineyard stages of Germany and through to the fast flowing turns of the hill climb racing in the U.S. There’s also full on off-road events in Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Australia.

Beyond this trailer video, the first ‘in-game footage’ video will launch tomorrow, Thursday, March 29, and will be available to download exclusively from Xbox Live Marketplace.
