    We think Milestone should have put more effort into this game, since there are little additions compared to the previous edition. The foundations are great, and the game is pretty good indeed, but there's still a long way to go.

    Good stuff, then, but hard to get too excited about. [Christmas 2013, p.106]

    WRC 4 continues Milestone's trend of satisfying but unremarkable rally games. Some key areas have clearly been worked on, but the core experience still lags behind Dirt when it comes to capturing the pure excitement of off-road racing, and Career mode is nothing that we haven't seen dozens of times in other racing games.

    WRC 4 is a perfect example of an annualised game at its worst, having churned out yet another sub-par performance which rests on average and has no drive to go further and actually be worthwhile.

    The co-driver and the learning curve in WRC 4 are pretty decent, and the addition of real drivers and teams is something that will appeal to the real fan. But it isn't enough to be satisfied with the game. WRC 4 suffers from uninspiring modes, weird choices, strange handling and a damage- and physics model that just isn't right. It’s a shame that this game - once again - doesn't realize his potential.

    WRC 4 is a racing game that works, whenever the framerate is stable. Aside from that it’s hindered by a myriad of technical issues and a lack of inspiration.

    Yet again Milestone delivers a mediocre racing experience.

Well the driving is kinda of OK, there´s some driving aids in there that can be turned on and off and really have a big impact betwen a more arcade or simulation gameplay experience, and the graphics are not bad. BUT other than that, the rest of the game is a cheap experience. The sound effects are bad, the career mode is dull and boring, but the worst thing is, its suposed to be 13 Rally comptetions with 6 stages/courses each, wich should be 78 stages/courses total right? WRONG, in reallity its just like 20 or so original courses, the rest they just use the same stages on reverse or with some minor side road diference, even thou they use diferent names and try to pretend its an entirelly diferent new course. I mean how cheap is that??!!
    SO i think this game is only worth buying on some 10$ sale. More than that is just a rip off.    … Full Review »

    I have had some rally training from my friends so I want something that feels right
    dirt 2 gives me bald tyres. sega rally likewise. I bought and discarded both. tried so many others as demo, all bad.
    This one, very good. powerslides and handbrake turns work.
    when traction is lost it feels about at the right conditions so learning is possible.
    tracks are believable unlike the others which give me hugely wide tracks to compensate for the very bad tires they put on the car.
    given a 2 meters clearance on a track in real life and doing 70 to 90 kph a 720 spin is possible.
    real rally cars have fantastic grip and steering. career mode is enjoyable and there is a huge amount of it    … Full Review »
