    The WRC series is getting better step by tiny step. Career mode, dynamic weather and a good overall feeling behind the wheel will make every racer happy - but next time, we expect more content and better polish.

    WRC 8 presents a complete rallying experience with its team management and career components. But while the driving does deliver a fun time, it's frustrating on a technical level and there are the visuals won't distract you from that fact.

    The WRC game series slowly improves. Career, dynamic weather and generally better driving experience will make you happy in this new instalment. However, they have to work on a better atmosphere and presentation, and most importantly the creators must deliver much more content. [Issue#298]

    DR2.0 is the king, WRC 8 is for the noob drivers who drive on a rail to feel good, Dirt rally 2.0 is for the high skilled drivers, 900° H shifter, clutch, and let's master the Group B cars :)    … Full Review »

    Fine! This is how Dirt Rally 2.0 should have looked and worked.

    Simplified physics for the sake of casuals, but quite realistic car behavior on different surfaces. I really liked the feedback on the T300, but I would have increased it by 20%. Career mode looks promising. The game is solid 8 points, but I will put it in advance 9. The only problem is the sound of small objects being broken - a bush, a snowdrift, the sound is almost the same and looks like a big bursting ball. It should not be.

    My verdict:
    Definitely better than WRC 7 and Dirt Rally 2.0 (as I recall the physics of the car like soap fell into the sink, blood flows from the eyes), but not better than Dirt Rally 1.0

    Congratulations to the developers, they made a really worthy product. Perhaps the best there is now in the rally!

    p.s. Do not look at the ratings of degradants who rate the game at 0. It's just pulling Dirt 2.0 to a higher level. There can be no 0 rating for rally fans and such an assessment cannot be objective.    … Full Review »

    If this game had the graphics & car list of Dirt Rally 2.0, this (WRC 8) would probably be the best rally game ever made.

    I love the real world courses & amount of content, love the deep campaign mode, the handling & physics, UI, dynamic weather etc. But having put many hours into both games & no matter how much i enjoy this game (it's still a very good game & worth getting), i miss the beautiful graphics & wide range of cars that you get to experience in Dirt Rally 2.0.
