    The real meat and potatoes of the game lies in the championship mode. Hardcore fans of the sport will be delighted to know that it is an exact reproduction of the real life version.

    While there's certainly no shortage of PSP racing games on the shelves, there's a veritable drought when it comes to Rally games: a drought that Bandai Namco Games intends to eradicate with the impressive WRC. [Mar 2006, p.50]

    Designed with both replayability and pick up & play in mind, WRC is both lengthy and challenging, but simple enough to play for 10 minutes a day on the train to work, between classes at college, or any other scenario where time is needing some killing.

    A decent racer that doesn't come close to fulfilling its potential. Still, it's currently the only choice for rally racing on the PSP. [Apr 2006, p.89]

    Rallying is tight and awkward on the PSP's small screen, and though WRC has plenty going for it, it's just not as much fun as other PSP racing games. [Nov 2006, p.155]

    Useless analog steering, weird collision issues, and the lack of a decent multiplayer mode keep it from being a winner.

    I got this game because it was £23 second hand in my local gamestation and I didn't have a racer on my PSP. I love it!! The I got this game because it was £23 second hand in my local gamestation and I didn't have a racer on my PSP. I love it!! The graphics are smooth and detailed and it's very addictive, as for the ghost cars, there a little annoying but give you a really good idea on your progress and of course there staggered just like real life rallying. The game runs along at a fair wack so has a sense of speed. You will also be able to get new tracks etc from yourpsp.com so extending it's life. As the first racer for my PSP I think it was an excellent buy and am very happy overall with it! GO BUY IT.… Expand
