There’s no drifting round bends – hell just try it and your car spins out of control wildly! There IS the option for damage not to matter which is a plus but then, even with that option turned on, there’s still – at least in my eyes – no enjoyment to driving a video game car as carefully as you would a real one! Don’t think you can throw your car around the track here.

That’s why I prefer arcade racers… Though I did hope that playing WRC 10 with all the assists on AND on the easiest mode possible would at least offer some arcade-style gameplay but no. I want to have fun playing video games, not stress about whether I doing things correctly. I get that there’s a place for simulations in the video game landscape, it’s just that – for me – they’re really not the type of “game” I want to play. Immersion has also been increased with a completely reworked audio design for this new edition making the WRC 10 experience all about making this game feel like the “real” thing… Control of aerodynamic forces, the turbo and braking have received particular attention on all surfaces, so that WRC 10 recreates ever more accurate and intense driving sensations.

Then there’s the physics, which have already been praised by critics and drivers in WRC 9, have been further improved to offer players an even more realistic experience. Even if there are a few issues with long-range rendering. Especially playing in 4K where you can see specks of dirt flying through the air and the scenery, from rain-filled Britain to sunny Spain by way of brand-new course Estonia, is brillaintly manifested. For a start WRC 10 looks absolutely gorgeous. This was a chore of a video game that’s for sure. But even then there was something about WRC 10 that kept me detached from the gameplay, stopped me feeling any real enjoyment. I tried to give the game a fair shake – tried all the game modes, all the difficulties etc. I tell you what then… You’re thrown in at the deep end trying to get your head around true simulation gameplay when you’ve spent the interveneing years playing arcade racers, or de-tuning sim-style games to feel more arcade-racer like… Yeah, if you haven’t guessed, that’s what happened to me! Which, honeslty, really made a MASSIVE impact on my enjoyment of WRC 10. But what if you’re not a fan? What if you’re Playing a WRC game for the first time? Or if you haven’t played one since way back in the early years of the Xbox 360 and the first WRC FIA World Rally Championship? What then? A retrospective mode offers players the chance to relive 19 events that have shaped the history of the Championship – including six historic rallies, such as the legendary Acropolis Rally (Greece) and Rallye Sanremo (Italy), with over 20 of the WRC‘s most iconic cars: Alpine, Audi, Lancia, Subaru, Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota…Īpparently making WRC 10 the biggest iteration of the game yet, paying homage to 50 years of rallying in a package that – I’m asssured – will please fans of the series.
