Gameplay

Likewise, Hyundai appeared in each event despite withdrawing from the championship in real life towards the end of the season. All 14 rallies from the official 2003 WRC calendar appear on the game.

Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one eight, one nine, one seven, and one eight for a total of 32 out of 40. In the UK, Official UK PlayStation 2 Magazine said that the game challenged Colin McRae, and listed it in their top 100 games.
