PLAYDec 8, 2023EA Sports WRC is simply the finest example of the genre. A few hitches and bugs can’t detract from a deep, breathless and wholly fun experience. Easy, right? [Issue#35, p.91]

Nov 21, 2023EA's first WRC game is a good entry. With a reasonable price and plenty of content, fans will have a great time with this. The career mode is not too special, but offers enough variety and being able to build your own car is a nice extra. In addition, the gameplay is very strong thanks to good control, but the title does suffer from performance issues and visually it is rather uneven. That said, EA Sports WRC is well worth playing.

Nov 6, 2023EA Sports WRC combines Codemasters' off-road racing pedigree with officially licensed cars, teams, and locations. The result is a confident and robust rally game that boasts super-fun driving, intense and challenging stages, and all the modes you could expect. It's only really let down by technical and performance problems. Here's hoping those will be ironed out in due course, because this is otherwise a rewarding rally game that gets (nearly) everything right.

Jan 5, 2024With this return to the world of rally racing, Codemasters has delivered something special with EA Sports WRC. It’s rock-solid and jam-packed, and I’d expect any gearhead to get lost in it for hours. Rally fans rejoice!

Nov 7, 2023EA Sports WRC is a rally simulator with tons of content and modes, but it leaves an irregular sensation. Many modes and options feel half-baked, as if they don't give everything they could, while the technical side doesn't take advantage of the current systems, as well as presenting flaws.

Nov 24, 2023EA Sports WRC is the first of its kind and although the result is bittersweet, it has solid foundations that could take the franchise to a better level. The heritage of Colin McRae's installments is there, Codemasters was guardian of it for 2 decades, and of course there is a vote of confidence for what they will do in future editions. Unfortunately, in his debut the result is not what was expected and amounts to a slump after a period with good results in his racing game releases. EA Sports WRC is not unplayable, nor a disaster, but it is far from great, although there is room for improvement with the passage of time and updates, so perhaps you could consider it for later.

Nov 6, 2023These small issues add up to sour the experience – especially given the lengths the game goes to presenting itself as the definitive rally package. They feel like a further indictment on the numerous crude contexts that surround the centre of EA Sports WRC’s fantastic rally experience. It’s a shame, because when you’re behind the wheel, absolutely sending it at 150km/h on the narrowest road you’ve ever seen in your life, it feels like nothing else matters.
