    There is not much to say about this title that responds very well to the expectations of racing fans. The full WRC license on Vita for a reasonable price, I think it's worth it.

    Weaknesses: some details are missing to make this game a real simulation, graphics are not very good, no older model cars (Lancia Delta, 206, special stages are too similar sometimes (for a same country rally)    … Expand

    One of the best racing games on the Vita, and certainly the best non-arcade racing title for it. Pretty good driving physics (just make sure all assistants are turned off); good graphics (not the best, but above average); lots of content. One of the very rare sim-orientated racing games you will still find these days. Loading times take too long, though - should be way quicker, especiallyOne of the best racing games on the Vita, and certainly the best non-arcade racing title for it.

One of the very rare sim-orientated racing games you will still find these days. Loading times take too long, though - should be way quicker, especially for a handheld game like this (which you usually play in quick stints). Apart from that, great game and an absolute steal at the currently (Mid Sept. 2014) discounted price tag (12,99 Euros, even less with PS Plus). Highly recommended if you consider buying it in this context. Would have given it a "9" if the loading times were faster and the damage system was more realisatic (damage needs to have WAY more impact on driving physics); would have given it a "10" if, on top of that, the graphics were a tad sharper and there was NO optional "rewind feature" in it (kind of undermines the message of realism, even though it can be deactivated here; but honestly, that kind of "feature" should NOT be included in any proper, self-respecting racing game in the first place; I curse you, Grid).… Expand

    Great value, loads of driving fun. In-car view looks amazing for a handheld. Haven't put it down for a couple of days. Reminds me of days long gone on the ps2, when it was all about the racing. Pick it up if you see it on special.

    This really is the ONLY true racing sim to hit vita. The graphics are pretty good for a handheld. What matters here is the realism and handling of the cars. The cars feel heavy and have weight to them, like real cars. Driving on dirt is very different than driving on snow or pavement. Realism is pretty well done here. On vita this game has everything that is in the console versions. ThereThis really is the ONLY true racing sim to hit vita. The graphics are pretty good for a handheld.

It's basically racing other peoples ghosts which isn't that cool. But thats why it gets an 8 instead of a 9. If your a racing sim fan, not a arcade racing fan (Need for Speed), you'll love this game. Career mode included.… Expand

    The best non-arcade racing game for Vita.

    Pros: graphics, game modes, price, high replay value

    Cons: load time, audio.. all of the cars sound like lawnmowers.

    Hardcore simulation, beautiful landscapes, realistic tracks. Framerating could be higher. Savings takes long time and it saves automatically before and after each track and park stop. There definitely should be option to turn off autosave and it's missing.
    Overall still very good game.

    I'm playing WRC 4 on a PSTV with a DualShock 3 controller. The thing that stands out most to me about this game is the handling characteristics while racing. This is *the* best driving experience I've ever had in any video game in my life. The controls are ultra-precise; the car does exactly what you want and expect it to do. It's so satisfying and such a joy to play. The graphics areI'm playing WRC 4 on a PSTV with a DualShock 3 controller.

The controls are ultra-precise; the car does exactly what you want and expect it to do. It's so satisfying and such a joy to play. The graphics are beautiful, the sound is great, and just the overall layout and game play are fantastic. The co-driver's inputs are timely and accurate and clear to understand. This game runs at a constant 30fps, but the sense of speed and anxiety you feel (especially when drifting near a cliff) are palpable. I've never been a fan of rally racing, but this game is quite addictive and really impressive (and satisfying).… Expand

    Rally done right: WRC 4 is an excellent racing game and should be a instant buy for any self-respecting Vita owner with a thing for speed.
