    I think that WRC is an excellent game with suburb and bind-blowing graphics. It is very similar to the real time experience, which makes this game an excellent game. This game has all the cars and tracks up to date, which is another reason to buy this game. If you are thinking about buying this excellent game, I heartly recommend this product.

I recommended this game to a friend of mine who only liked one-peson shooters and now he hates those types of games and he can't stop playing WRC.… Expand

    This is a good game.. Though i think the handling is too free. its too easy to take corners.. graffics I would have hoped to be better.. but all on all this is a great fun game to play.. but ive played better.

    It's okay, but 2 player is a complete f... up, and there no service area completly detracting the need for damage at all. V-Rally 3 surpasses this in every way.

    WRC 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.

    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 hit something and the lack of sense of speed.

    Boring...plain as an old Rich Tea biscuit, and just as dry.

    I had a hard time putting it down, although I'd probably pick up Xbox's "RalliSport" first if it came down to the two of them. [June 2002, p.79]

    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.
