    This is rather mediocre port that looks and plays like Gamecube game. So do not expect it to compete with anything you got on PS4 or Xbone on your 4K telly.
    But, as a portable handheld game, it works well, and is quite entertaining. On small screen, the visuals do not look quite as ugly, and once you adjust the controls and learn how to drive, you can have quite a lot of fun with this, on    This is rather mediocre port that looks and plays like Gamecube game.

    But, as a portable handheld game, it works well, and is quite entertaining. On small screen, the visuals do not look quite as ugly, and once you adjust the controls and learn how to drive, you can have quite a lot of fun with this, on portable form. And given the lack of decent racers on Switch, that is welcome indeed.
    So, worth buying if you want to play some portable racing on the go. Not, if you want to play it on big screen.    … Expand

    Hi, i own the previous Wrc 8 so.. With this version of the game the handling and the weight of the car improve a Lot and its exactly what ive hoped for but... The game in Handheld mode Crashed 3 times in 1 day, since i bought the game, Deutschland Stages are lagging with critical framedrops, which is very sad considering that didnt happen with the version 8.. Plus i notice that with theHi, i own the previous Wrc 8 so.. With this version of the game the handling and the weight of the car improve a Lot and its exactly what ive hoped for but...

Plus i notice that with the Citroen C3 (Wrc2) The gear ration got problems of loading as well... Make it the game very frustrating - I Love anyways this 9TH installation from KT racing but i highly suggest to try and go for the Console Version just for the fact cause the Switch version, despite the handling improvements, it got worst on the stability of the game and some other drammatic errors. 7-10… Expand

    WRC has landed again this year with its latest incarnation also on the Ntendo handheld console, not without some, sometimes chronic, flaws.

    WRC 9 is representative of what happens when development teams are stretched too thin and care little about the platform they are developing for. Here’s to hoping this is a one-off and we see a return to form soon.

    All in all, WRC 9 is the best rally experience you can have on the Switch, and up there with the best racing games. With a generous career mode, countless rallies, and great driving, it’s pretty hard to fault its core. But every visual concession made to get it onto the Switch means that every race is much harder. Trees flickering and shadows dropping right out of nowhere make it hard to actually see what’s going on. And that’s pretty important when you’re travelling at speed.
