    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.

    Hands down, WRC is some of the best racing on the PSP. [Apr 2006, p.132]

    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]

    An easy and decent-enough rally game. There is nothing amazing, though. And PSP is not the best platform for semi-realistic racing. [Jan 2006]

    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.

    All told, WRC: World Rally Championship doesn't break any new ground, but it is, nevertheless, a solid rally racer.
  8. GameSpot

    Sadly, its multiplayer support is almost nonexistent, and a few gameplay quirks conspire to make the driving less fun than it could have been. Still, WRC is a good, solid first try at bringing the sport of rally racing to the PSP system, even if it doesn't quite nail every component.

It actually works so well I'm amazed it hasn't been used more often in rallying games. One of my favourite racers on the PSP.… Full Review »
