WRC offers exactly what I wanted from a Codemaster rally game and it doesn’t disappoint thanks to a good offering of content, engaging racing, and lots of tricky routes. |

EA Sports WRC is definitely not a let down and is a more than worthy successor to Dirt Rally 2.0. Even though I had some concerns about a new game engine and wondered if that gameplay would translate, thankfully those fears were unfounded. Make no mistake, this is a solid racing game featuring plenty of cars, plenty of locations (plus loads of stages within them) and excellent gameplay be that via wheel or pad. |

When it comes to rallying, Codemasters is a guarantee. This new EA simulation is at the starting line with an offer that boasts an excellent balance between quantity and quality of content and that puts the driving experience at the center, as usual. |

The best modern rally game to date, packed to the brim with big stages and plenty of cars. With updates like the Central European course coming later, as well as VR support down the line. If you’re a fan of rallying in general, you owe it to yourself to have this one in your library. |

Codemasters delivers on the track and features some of the most intense and nerve-wrecking rallye-action of the past years. Considering this is the first outing under the new license and with the Unreal-Engine, EA Sports WRC is a more than solid start, but also has its flaws in career-mode and overall balancing and presentation. |

You may have sounded a little disappointed when describing many of its sections, but as sometimes this is about sensations and not so much about striking features that each studio marks in bold in their press releases, EA Sports WRC is a great Rally game. It’s nothing more and nothing less, what we expected from Codemasters, a Dirt Rally, but licensed. The problem is that it doesn’t go any further or surprise those of us who follow the launch of the annual WRC. It has some details, such as being able to create our own WRC, but the rest smacks of having already seen it, something that graphics technology doesn’t exactly help. |

EA SPORTS WRC makes a few moves that are different for the franchise that work, but the difficulty that made DiRT Rally 2 so challenging yet rewarding is missing. |

EA Sports WRC is a rally simulator that is brimming with content, but leaves you feeling uneven. Many modes and options feel half-throttled, as if they don’t give everything they could, while the technical section doesn’t take advantage of all the power of current systems, in addition to presenting flaws. |

EA Sports WRC is the first of its kind and although the result is bittersweet, it has solid foundations that could take the franchise to a better level. The legacy of Colin McRae’s installments is there, Codemasters was a guardian of it for 2 decades and, of course, there is a vote of confidence for what they will do in future editions. Unfortunately, this debut is not what was expected and amounts to a bump in the road after a period of good results in their racing game launches. EA Sports WRC isn’t unplayable, nor is it a disaster, but it’s far from great, although there is room for improvement with the passage of time and updates, so perhaps you could consider it for later. |

If you’re looking for a game that’s one step further than Need for Speed, realistic racing, but with a simulation level that’s a little lower than F1 games, I recommend you give EA Sports WRC a chance. |

WRC has paid off for its long development process. There are more, longer stages, plenty of vehicles and various modes to keep you in the game. Once the technical pain is out of the way, there is no need to go back to Dirt Rally 2.0. |

EA Sports WRC delivers an incredible legacy of the WRC, with new features that should entertain players who are fans of rally games. It has a visual limitation, incompatible with the current generation, whose customization proposal tries to overcome the existing flaws. It stands out, but with limitations. |

EA Sports WRC combines Codemasters’ off-road racing pedigree with officially licensed cars, teams, and locations. The result is a confident and robust rally game that boasts super-fun driving, intense and challenging stages, and all the modes you could expect. It’s only really let down by technical and performance problems. Here’s hoping those will be ironed out in due course, because this is otherwise a rewarding rally game that gets (nearly) everything right. |

For the first time in many years, I don’t have to keep DiRT Rally 2.0 and the annual WRC game installed simultaneously. Additionally, the DiRT series doesn’t have to live a life of dual identity anymore. Despite some minor quibbles with some modes being hollow, or some concerns of performance, this freshman offering is simply great – and what smooths a lot of this over is its moderate pricing. WRC puts World Rally Championship on full display, and this next-generation rally renaissance is not to be missed. |

It should have been a clear candidate for racing game of the year. But the reality after the release is a bit sobering. Significant performance issues, not entirely convincing visuals and some game modes that are rather limited and unrefined, plus a clunky menu system. On the other hand, There is an interesting driving model, high-quality sound and excellent track design. |

EA Sports WRC is a complete game, with a well-structured driving model, full of realism and variety. Even though it has a less than excellent career, the Codemasters game has been able to defend itself very well among driving titles, remaining one of the best this year. It is an excellent experience that brings the rally back to its most exciting phases. |

EA Sports WRC manages to bring the sensations and essence of rallying to our screens, revealing itself to be an engaging, at times overwhelming, racing game. Some details are less refined than others and there is various room for improvement, however if a good day starts in the morning I would say that, as regards the future of the series, fans can celebrate. |

That said, the most important thing about EA Sports WRC is that I’m pretty sure I’ll get addicted to the moments its recreation of rallying can provide across its plethora of modes. As with Dirt Rally 2.0, it’s those simple, brief moments when you get into a perfect adrenaline-fuelled flow and feel |
