  1. World Rally Championship (EUR)

    In summary, WRC feels indecisive in terms of what it wants to be, and the result of which is a game that feels unconvincing, even to the most avid rallying fan. As an arcade-style rallying experience, both Sega Rally and V-Rally offer more in almost every respect. While Colin McRae Rally, Rally Championship Xtreme, and to a certain extent, the recently improved rallying mode of Gran Turismo 3, offers simulated rallying at fine levels, WRC cannot even begin to imagine...

    I had a really hard time sorting out my feelings of this game. The good was always matched with the bad. On the one hand, the controls were easy to get into and made the driving exciting, giving you the feeling that you were pushing the cars to their extremes. Read more

    Ah, the World Rally Championship: the thrill of the race, the beauty of the many locales, if there were to be one event named as the greatest sport, this would be it. How many people dare to drive high performance machines the way WRC racers do? Well, regardless of that the fact is that Read more

    This is definitely a great replication of the World Rally Championship. It is heavy in eye candy and sounds, and the replays are worth the price of admission alone. There's just not been anything as good from a presentation standpoint when it comes to nailing the look and feel of the venues of the WRC. The driving and challenge is fun, but not particularly difficult, and little finesse is needed, just attention and good instincts. I think for many people, this will be... Read more

    "The Game Could Have Been More Intensive, I Keep Playing It To See If At Some Point It Will Unveal A Special Course Or Challenge. But Nothing Really Out Of The Ordinary Happens. The Game Feels After A While Like It Was Just Half Way Finished. An Incredible Concept, Excellent Choice Of Vehicles, But The Final Outcome Has A Lot To Say. It's Just An Awesome Game That Was Not Fully Developed." Read more

  2. Good driving game

    This is one of the best driving games on the PS2, next to Gran Turismo of course. The control are easy to learn and use and the ability to customise the car settings made up for slight sluggishness I encountered. The game has tons of stages and unlockable extras, the graphics a good and the sound effects are excellent. It would be nice to have a better selection of cars, but it is still an good set. This would have been a great on-line game, but it does not support it,... Read more
