A surprising decent racing game! I was expecting this to be 5/10, given that it's made by the same developers that do the official WRC games. But Powerslide is actually quite fun with good design. The first thing you'll notice is just how great the graphics are. To say that this is an arcade title, the detail of the (real-life) stages embarass a lot of triple-A titles.

But Powerslide is actually quite fun with good design. The first thing you'll notice is just how great the graphics are. To say that this is an arcade title, the detail of the (real-life) stages embarass a lot of triple-A titles. The visual quality of the stages is fantastic, but the same can't be said about the car models. Although the lighting is OK, the textures are low-res (especially apparent when you flip your car). However, there is enough choice in cars and tracks, with each stage being around 3 minutes long. It does seem a little pointless having 14 cars in each of the three classes when most of them are the same car with different livery/driver, but given they have slightly different stats, it's excusable. The ability to turn on and off power-ups and adjustable difficulty are great features. Whether you want a party-style experience with collisions or a more serious test of skill, this game can offer that. It doesn't do much wrong, however there are some bugs at times. For instance, the game can crash randomly or when entering a race. I've also experienced the game repeatedly pausing itself at the start of a race too. The smoke powerup can also be incorrectly displayed and the framerate isn't as high as it should be. If you can overlook these issues, coupled with non-rebindable keys (although they're set to what you'd expect so not a big deal), WRC Powerslide is a good arcade racer which captures the sense of speed quite well with its brilliant camera angle.… Expand
