   CodeMasters is review-bombing WRC because it's a much better game than anything they've done since DiRT Rally 1, or even DiRT 1.

   Bear in mind you will maybe have to tweak the steering and camera settings, if you don't, the car "turning" capability might feel weird. Oh boy, but once you find that proper setting and you get the feeling of the car it's so fun and challenging!
   
   Of course, having more tracks would be amazing, the graphics optimization still isn't perfect, the interior cameras are too "dark" and hard to see the track, the engine and exterior sound still needs some tweaking but I find everything is on a proper track for a great and realistic rally game.… Expand

Stage design is superb! Audio is also great altho the cars don't sound quite as raw and angry compared to the real ones. Online is simple, fun and stable. Altho whenever someone leaves the lobby the game unreadys everybody in the lobby so that needs fixing. All and all it's a solid game, definitely recommend.… Expand

   Luxurious racing tracks, but not perfectly worked out cars, dirt water, of course, this is not ideal, but you can still play it......

   I give you a 4, I had fun failing around the tracks. I can't decide if I'm a rookie with bad reflexes or the car just simply won't turnI give you a 4, I had fun failing around the tracks. I can't decide if I'm a rookie with bad reflexes or the car just simply won't turn whether I go fast or slow. It feels like the car has only weight with no traction whatsoever. The graphics are OK for this kind of game, but the sounds are very cheap. The optimization is simply non-existent, though I fixed the frame-pacing by changing to fullscreen.… Expand

For the past decade, a new game in the WRC series is coming out every year. And that usually spells trouble. Changes from one year to the next are usually marginal and minuscule. I personally find this concept to be unforgivable and unacceptable. But lets look at the positives first. The game does not look awesome, but the graphics is decent enough (although it is pretty bad when compared to lets say Dirt 2.0). Car models are pretty enough. The sound is a different story. I do not know why this is, but in every single rally game the cars sound like awful. There must be some technical problem, which I do not understand that is preventing the developers to make the car sounds more realistic. The number of cars is pretty low, but that is a problem of the WRC organization and not a problem of the game. They also added few historic cars this time. The stages are mostly the same as in the previous years. The overall length of stages is grossly misleading. I have nothing against running the same stage both ways (that is something commonly used by amateur rally organizers around the world), but cutting up the stage and presenting the segments as additional special stages, that is pretty lame. I also have a problem with the pacenotes. I do not know whether an actual rally driver checked or made the pacenotes for this game, but I doubt it. The pacenotes in WRC 9 are a description of the stage rather than a description of how to drive through the stage. That is a common beginners mistake, but I believe an official WRC game should not make such a mistake. The career mode is pretty straightforward and entertaining for the 15ish hours it takes you to become a world rally champion. No microtransaction and no SJW crap.
   
   Overall an average game for rally fans, but when compared with Dirt 2.0, it really looks pathetic. Final verdict: 44 %… Expand

   WRC 9 game is just a joke.
   The cars do not have a steering feel/
   no such weight feel. it feels like a boat sailing on an ice track. Controller tried too.
   The controller cannot play at all. Being the worst rally game I have ever played, the same is the case with other wrc games The PS2 wrc extreme was the last decent wrc game. Even in a V-Rally 4 arcade game, a better driving feel than in this rubbish pile. WRC should take the model of Dirt / 2.0 model of how the driving feel is made good for both steering wheels as well as the controller
   Career is practically the same as WRC 8.
   The game is rubbish that goes by the name of the WRC. Maybe it was time to give the game to someone else who knows how to make game… Expand
