    The controllability of cars is very poor with controller the control is awful the same problem is in other wrc games -2 points

    +2 points

    The sounds of cars are ridiculous sounds from some fart potatoes WRC cars sound like mopeds what kind of slimy scam chocolate is this? same in other wrc 2/3 cars sounds
    Only in junior class these cars still sound like a rally car bang bang with very poor quality and sometimes the potato is so deep in the exhaust that the sounds disappear from the cars. -5 points

    The positive thing is career mode
    absolutely the best! +3 points
    but after 20 hours of gameplay I'm done.

    Better quality rally games have been released over time than WRC 9
    I expect a little more from the 70€ game.

    The performance is poor on the
    Xbox one x optimize the game. -4 points

    I'm tired of waiting year after year
    Good WRC game.    … Expand

    This game is not worth buying.
    WRC 9 game is just a joke.
    The cars do not have a steering feel/ no such weight feel. it feels like a boat sailing on an ice track. Controller tried too. The controller cannot play at all. Being the worst rally game I have ever played, the same is the case with other wrc games The PS2 wrc extreme was the last decent wrc game. Even in a V-Rally 4 arcade game,    This game is not worth buying.

Even in a V-Rally 4 arcade game, a better driving feel than in this rubbish pile. WRC should take the model of Dirt / 2.0 model of how the driving feel is made good for both steering wheels as well as the controller
    Career is practically the same as WRC 8.
    The performance is poor on the
    Xbox one x How hard it is to get 1080p at 60fps. Why other game makers succeed
    but it is very difficult for this company to optimize the game.    … Expand

    Despite some technical issues, WRC 9 delivers on its core mechanics, offering a deep and rewarding off-road racing game.

    WRC 9 is definitely the best WRC game yet, and one of the best racing games of this generation. It's not perfect though, as rather shallow career mode and absence of some big cars are noticeable; but its solid physics and handling of cars and diverse environments are enough to make it worth every racing fan's while.

    WRC 9’s incredible stages make it easy to recommend to series first-timers, although it's not a huge leap from WRC 8.
