  1. Whilst the game might handle like a superlative arcade racer from each dynamic moment to the next, it neither looks nor behaves like one in any real, wider sense...it's far too concerned with vainly struggling to be a simulation.

    Boring...plain as an old Rich Tea biscuit, and just as dry.
  3. It's a few visual tweaks, collision-detection issues and A.I. adjustments away from being outstanding.
  4. With all of this attention to detail, the actual gameplay is too simple.

    It's a fun game because it's the only one that's easy to play, but I didn't like the long loading time , cars are not destroyed when they hitIt's a fun game because it's the only one that's easy to play, but I didn't like the long loading time , cars are not destroyed when they hit something and the lack of sense of speed.

    WRC 4 is my favorite racing game and also my favorite PS2 game. Challenging handling without being overly realistic or arcadey. They found theWRC 4 is my favorite racing game and also my favorite PS2 game. Challenging handling without being overly realistic or arcadey. They found the perfect balance. The hot seat tourneys were great with friends or just redoing the same track over and over to take one more second of it. We had a blast! WRC 4 is not on metacritic, therefore I put my review on its predecessor. Full Review »
