Now if all of that sounds enticing,then please close your eyes, take a deep breath and then go play Dirt Rally 2 instead, because WRC just isn’t worth the time. It even offers split screen multiplayer, which is becoming unheard of these days. There are also weekly challenges to attempt and even a season long event players can take part in. Racing against human opponents can be done as a number of disciplines. Not only are all of these single player offerings available, there is also a healthy choice if players want to take their skills online. If you have played any of the recent games, then you will know what to expect here. There is also a training mode, quick play and testing mode to play about with. Players also have to look after the team’s wellbeing as they are affected by tiredness and morale, which in turn affects their performance.Īlong with the Career mode the game also offers a Season + mode which allows players to take part in a season without any of the worry of having to manage their team and offers both the standard WRC season and WRC2. This can be a little infuriating,as it is at the start of the game where players probably need the most help and so limiting it in this way can make the difference between getting an overall decent result in an event and not. At the start of the game the team will be novice, so keeping my car in shape was much more difficult. The amount of work players can get done depends on their team. In between the eventsplayers will be given a limited amount of time to repair any damage the car has taken. There are also races in between that can be taken up to boost their standing with the sponsors. The racing calendar plays out much like the real WRC calendar with events taking place all across the globe over a series of days and tracks. Players will also be given the opportunity to impress potential sponsors who will offer to sign them up if they meet certain criteria during races. Like many games now the career mode includes a leveling up system that awards XP based on performance in the mud, which players can cash in to improve their team. There is of course the standard career mode which will see players start out as a rookie at the bottom of the ladder and climb their way to the top. The biggest draw however is the amount of modes available. Platforms: PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed) It is safe to say that having an official license goes a long way regardless of quality, and to fans of the WRC having the official seal of approval means a lot. Well to start with it’s official,meaning fully licensed stages, cars and drivers are all present and correct. But let us not dwell on the negatives just yet. You would think that would mean there would be a level of quality on show, but alas, no. It has been two years since I last reviewed a WRC game, and not only haven’t things improved, they’ve got noticeably worse.įor those that don’t know WRC stands for World Rally Championship, and the WRC games are their only officially licensed games.
