I have loved the WRC games and was excited for EA to give it a go. Bad points:
- a few little bugs, jittery camera on some cinematics at beginning and end of level.
- sometimes co driver cuts short, for example for, 5 left, would say. Five le.... Noticed this a few times. Also on one occasion left it until I was on top of the corner to tell me about it.
- Builder could have a lot more to it, such as much more logos and body kits.
- small details, such as changing to a new set of tires mid event, the tyres still look dirty.
- Career path is not great to navigate, not clear on what events you should be entering. Join a WRC and there's more events within it that can be easily missed. I missed the Swedish rally because I didn't apply in the right week.
Good point:
- Graphics are alot better than the previous WRC games.
- Handling of the vehicles is alot easier to get a grips of.Although a part of me liked that extra effort to control the cars in previous games.
- Handling of the vehicles over different terrains feels good. Can really feel the difference.
- Really does feel like the best of Dirt rally and WRC games, together in most parts.
- EA hasn't spammed me with ads to buy more stuff or microtransactions.
Once the bugs are ironed out that really leaves little bad points, hoping extra parts of the builder will come with time and really hope they change the display for the career pathway.
4 stars as once they release more patches this is near great
Hopefully EA keep maintaing this.
