WRC: FIA World Rally Championship Critic Reviews

It doesn't have a fully accomplished driving model, and physics are far from perfect, still WRC is good first shot on the rally simulation by Milestone and Black Bean. The three years licence should give the team the right time to polish the product, and hopefully get to an even better product in the next years. As of now, if you are a fan of the WRC competition, this is your best option on the shelves, even if not perfect and fully accomplished.

FIA World Rally Championship is a true rally simulation. Despite the technical issues, WRC gives good driving sensations and a perfect feeling of the terrain. With the official license Milestone will have a lot of possibilities for the next chapter.

WRC recovers successfully, the excitement of the greatest proofs of the World Rally Championship.

It's a superb rally game capturing the spirit and the thrills. Recommended.

It's certainly rough around the edges but WRC won us over. It's a solid and capable sim that works hard to prove its worth.

A solid, if unspectacular title.

WRC: World Rally Championship is a good game. Not an awesome one, but it's quite good anyway, with an official licence as a nice bonus you can't find in Dirt. The driving gameplay is a little bit odd due to the turning physics, but the overall experience is deep and funny enough.

It's no Richard Burns Rally and nor does it hold a light to Codemasters' DiRT games, but WRC is a surprisingly enjoyable take on the sport that gets the fundamentals right.

WRC is not a return as strong as the Formula 1 championship, but is a game that will please simulation fans. Its visuals are not remarkable, but its gameplay works very well.

There are a lot of nice touches and thoughtful features, spoiled by the presentation. Ultimately though, while I couldn't recommend WRC to just anyone, it is a solid but slightly soulless game and has the official WRC license, which if you have at least a passing interest in rally games makes this the only realistic choice.

WRC is a very competent rally game and offers quite some challenge. However, it lacks any surprises and does not impress visually. If you do not care about these factors, it's still worth to check out and get acquainted with one of the world's most exciting auto motorized sports.

Lacks the oomph and fun factor of its rival DiRT 2, but provides a good framework for future installments of the WRC series.

Despite poor presentation, WRC offers a realistic and satisfying rally experience.

WRC isn't the best racing game, but it offers a satisfying rally experience.

Developer Milestone has managed to create a nice rally game that somehow disappoints in the visual department. Race fans should buy this game, but only when it has been lowered in price.

It may not be enough to challenge the likes of Dirt, but the framework is definitely there for Milestone to produce a great rally title.

WRC is the best racing game Milestone has put out in quite some time, but it's woefully lacking in terms of presentation. With racing games it's not just about an authentic driving model, as you need the in-game visuals to put you in the virtual driver's seat.

Sure, it's not as refined as its competitors, but WRC delivers a solid rally experience, particularly for hardcore fans. But the sub-standard visuals detract from the otherwise entertaining racing experience and the lackluster presentation doesn't the help the game in any way.

Game starved rally fans will welcome it all the same but this low tech racing sim has a bit too much room for improvement.

Despite the poor presentation, WRC manages to be a pretty entertaining rally game, refreshingly free from offroad segments and extreme sports nonsense. In the long run, however, it suffers from repetitive tracks and an unexiting campaign.
