    It surely lacks a polished graphics and sound engine, but the driving experience is sound and compelling, the contents are plenty, and the track design is just great. Way better if enjoyed with first person view and a driving wheel.

    A solid rally game, rich in content and funny, with a good driving model to be enjoyed with a steering wheel and the internal view. Not perfect, but undoubtedly valid.

    Challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects.

    SLRE can’t compete with the titans (i.e Forza Horizon 2) but it is doubtlessly the best rally game by Milestone. [03/2016, p.63]

    I half expected this game to be a shallow vanity project, but it's got more substance than that. The number of tracks and the career structure expose you to more content than most rally titles, even if the racing itself isn't tight enough to compete with the top dogs.

    Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo is a solid rally game, but some flaws prevent it from beating Dirt Rally.

    Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO shows that it could be potential contender to throne ruled by Dirt Rally. It's a shame that its audiovisual presentation leaves much to be desired and steering lag combined to horrible FFB nearly destroys the driving enjoyment. Also, the performance on PS4 is pretty horrid. [March 2016]

    This is a title that falls in an odd position in the spectrum of racing titles. It is far too ambitious to be considered an arcade racer, but too unpolished to be a simulation. Regardless of your level of skill, this may be one experience worth steering clear of.

    A solid rally experience with a tremendous amount of content. But mediocre driving physics and Milestone’s trademark mediocre engine step hard on the breaks.

    If you’re unsure whether to go for Dirt Rally or Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo, choose the former. Loeb Rally may come with a huge amount of content, but suffers from other severe flaws: from a technical standpoint, Loeb Rally is pretty much outdated and at no point during our time with the game, driving was ever really enjoyable. Every car feels weirdly stiff to control and gives the player little to no feedback. So if you have the choice, stick with Dirt Rally. Everything Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo has going for it, Dirt 3 already did a better job at.

    Great name on a game case that could hardly fulfill the expectations. Milestone tried to do their best, but they succeeded only partially. The result is an ordinary game that pleases mainly with extra content, whether it's about cars, tracks or Loeb itself. [Issue # 261]

    Milestone created surprisingly dignified simulator full of content and its own personality. This rally newcomer is a big competition to Codemasters titles. Although poor technology and silly mistakes hurts the game most.

    All you need to know about Sébastien Loeb Rally EVO physics is that you can jump on piles of snow as if they were trampolines. [Issue#206, p.70]

    Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo offers a nice career mode with a lot of different cars, challenges and locations, but it's quite disappointing on nearly every other aspects, especially if you like simulation racing games.

I playA few mistakes but finally rally game where you do not need to combine with keeping the car on a straight road! I turned off the sync. I play with the camera in the cockpit and speed is breathtaking. I hope for a patch that fixes several things.

    A pleasant surprise. For me, better than Dirt Rally, because I do not have to bother to car going straight ahead. Physics also is better, and the tracks are excellent. Oh yes! routes are strongest point of this game. The game is not a technological pioneer, but its cohesion-as a whole is at the highest level. Thank you, Sebastien Loeb, that you believed in Milestone. I once doubted.    … Full Review »

Before someone says I'm crazy, I have a HD monitor and play other games in HD.

    Gameplay is great. The special stages are finally just as we ride for 30 years by car. A large number of high-speed corners. Much you can see the contribution of Sebastien Loeb. Very good vertical movements of the camera in the foreground relative to the other. Milestone surprised me. Sounds at first seemed absurd. However interfere only when watching the replay. That may actually be better. The career mode! This is finally it!

    If you do not think he's better than the master steering Sebastien Loeb, the game will be your best racing experience.

    I am very positively surprised. I did not like the WRC series in the execution of Milestone. I expected another "hare". You did great!

    I give eight for the excellent physics, It also can be seen in replays, stunning visuals and a sense of speed,
    a piece of great history, routes, and cars that do not exist in other games.
    Minus two for sound and for the fact that the Polish language version guy reads in career mode pretending to Sebastien Loeb. He should speak Sebastien subtitles only Polish.    … Full Review »

It has this modern game mechanic of "wheel simulation", which slows down the car's response to your input. what it really is is steering dampening. the steering wheels turn so atrociously slowly that it takes almost a full second for them to go from centered to full right. This is the first game where the steering dampening is worse than Dirt:Rally

    Second, the roads in the game are all flat. sure, there are hills and crests, but even the dirt roads look and feel like someone simply painted a gravel wallpaper on a perfectly maintained tarmac road.

    third, this game is absolutely unomtimized. fps slows down for NO REASON AT ALL

    fourth, the camera is broken. in corners, it jerks wildly from side to side.

    fifth, this is actually "listen to some bloke talk"-simulator. this guy's voice samples constantly come on and go on and on about some nonsense like you've never seen a car before.    … Full Review »
