    WRC 5 is surprisingly good for a studio’s debut in the rally games genre but it’s pretty obvious that the developer ran out of time and money too fast. [13/2015, p.39]

    WRC 5 is like a sundae, but instead of having delicious chocolate sauce on top of it, there’s five day old gravy from your mother in law’s meatballs. [Sept. 2015, p. 067]

    WRC 5 really is the most fun I’ve had with a racer this year, giving you a phenomenal handling model, sticking you on a course and largely leaving you to attack it. What more could you want?

    WRC 5 offers pleasant driving and all content that you would expect from the official rally game. There are a few bugs that are indeed bugging us, plus visually speaking the game is not as strong as it could be, but any gamer with love for rally driving, will still enjoy every bit of WRC 5.

The game isThe best WRC game is the first one on new gen consoles. The biggest improvement is the visuals, this game is actually very pretty. The game is fun and driving mechanics are not that difficult to get used to and it generally feels a little arcade like. There are options however to make the game more difficult for those who want to. But otherwise a really solid rally game that anyone who loves rally will enjoy. Full Review »

    I miss old times, when the WRC saga was developed by Evolution Studios. 2005 was the last year with a good WRC release.
