    I agree with Wes, this is a great game in a VERY neglected sector. Far more satisfying from a rally point of view than the pathetic dudefest iterations of the last two DIRT releases. The variety of stages on the 13 different rallies is EXCELLENT and infinitely superior to anything in the last two DIRTs. I find the handling surprisingly good and I am playing with a very low end controller.I agree with Wes, this is a great game in a VERY neglected sector.

The graphics are perfectly acceptable and I would give them a 9 out of 10 only the spectators are not as crisp but are you here to look at pretty spectators or experience the thrill of rallying?

    Overall this is a fantastic game and for the scope and variety it has EXCELLENT value for its very reasonable price. There are a few minor issues with uploading your stats which I am sure they will fix and an easy fix for NVidia drivers if like me you have an Intel and Nvidia driver together. If you love rallying and feel you have been left in the wilderness by the DIRT series in the last few years snap this up you won't regret it    … Expand

    definitely better than DIRT if you're fed up being a "DUDE", nice to have a rally game without pointless gymkhana and stunt events. First dirt was an excellent rally game with some nice additions but totally lost the way. I have played all the other wrc games and this is the best by a mile, graphics are NOT the be all and end all of good games....rant over! 8/10

    Not sure what the other guy was talking about...but the car physics are great! On a scale of 1 5 (1 sim, 5=arcade), it's about a 2. Go on Steam and look at the forums, the consensus is good and a big improvement over the last, especially on handling (cars are much heavier now).

    Very enjoyable. Great tracks and good variety. Finally a true rally game for sim fans that are tired of Dirt    Not sure what the other guy was talking about...but the car physics are great!

    Very enjoyable. Great tracks and good variety. Finally a true rally game for sim fans that are tired of Dirt owning this genre. You'll only find pure rally events here along with your British co-driver. Every true rally fan should play this...I know you'll enjoy it.    … Expand

    I really liked the racing experience this game provided! So far more than WRC3.
    I found it much more enjoyable than DIRT and the graphics really shows improvments than before. Sounds has also been enhanced but it still needs to be done better IMHO.
    Stages variety also is good, 13 rallies pretty good done. Simulations fan sure find out what the need with this title, I dunno what people    I really liked the racing experience this game provided! So far more than WRC3.

    If you guys are wiling to pay a DLC called "WRC 4" for 50$, go ahead!
    That so called "the developers promised to have taken a lot of fan feedback into account for the new title" was just part of a diabolic plan of Milestone. Nothing has changed from previous game, they just updated the car liveries, added some HDR filters, made minimal changes to all the "WRC 3" tracks and pasted all into    If you guys are wiling to pay a DLC called "WRC 4" for 50$, go ahead!

    Engine/Exhaust sounds, environment, and these physics are the worst part of that "DLC" But i had a new surprise, there's absolutely no advanced video options like previous series.
    Milestone's and BBI laziness this year was astonishing and i fear they're losing ground to Rally Sim fans and even to those who really hoped milestone did actually change something.
    I wouldn't spend my money on a game that has been recycled for 4 years now to see the same stuff over and over again. The devs could at least improve their game engine and add a proper FFB and a proper advanced controller options! We're in 2013 for god's sake, we do not play on keyboards anymore, there's something out there that looks like a a giant donut and u can connect to the PC. It's called a Steering Wheel Milestone, give it some attention...    … Expand

    Super fun! I cant say how realistic the cars are but its in my opinion a lot more fun than DiRT 2-3 although I must say that Richard Burns Rally is still my favorite. The maps are also very fun with my favorite being Monte Carlo.

    Mini recenzja 2023.Gra jest dobrze zrobiona oceniłbym ją 7.5/10 .
    Model jazdy to arcade w czystej postaci, jest przyjemny do niezobowiązującej gierki.
    Jak lubisz pościgać się dla przyjemności po dużej ilości tras autami z przyzwoitymi dźwiękami silników to warto tą gre kupić zwłaszcza ,że jest tania jak barszcz. Problem grania w 30fps rozwiązuje ustawienie w sterowniku grafiki na 60fps.    Mini recenzja 2023.Gra jest dobrze zrobiona oceniłbym ją 7.5/10 .

    Jest trochę modów do tej gry np. dodający FFB do kierownic albo mod poprawiający grafikę.    … Expand

    WRC 4 is at times and enjoyable view into World Rally Championship, but it again fails to live up to its hype. And what's the deal with Neste Oil Rally? I barely recognized it as Finland. [Dec 2013]

    The driving model is better than in the previous WRC game and is surprisingly solid. Despite that it’s hard not to notice that the developer’s budget was very limited. [01/2014, p.72]

    WRC 4 didn't manage to take up its highly accelerated forerunner. Instead of putting its foot down to get some more juice, it just recycles its content along with the bugs from the last year. Something is rotten in the state of the rallye genre, when there is just one studio along with one game ruling it.
