This week VVV’s Alan Boiston was given the opportunity to gain a first hands-on Black Bean’s official game based on the World Rally Championship. Given the somewhat disappointing experience offered by the previous WRC titles hopes were not all that high that this third iteration would do anything to alter that impression. However following this hands-on it does appear WRC 3 has exceeded expectations and could quite frankly be, a bit good.

What's particularly interesting here is that both games were developed by the same team – Milestone. Of course Milestone have since lost the WRC license to Kylotonn Games but don't rule them out bidding for it back in the future."
YouTube's member 'nfsking2000' has created an interesting tribute to rally games, in which we get to see the actual evolution of this genre from its MS-DOS days to its current-gen ones.
awesome!!! thanks for making me realize how disgusting this gen was as far as rally games go...
colin mcrae's
richard burns's
WRC's
topgear n64
are some of my favorites
WRC this gen stuck to its roots even though milestone took over they really improved and i cant wait for WRC4 on the VITA <---- now thats evolution : )
The last great rally game was Colin McRae Rally 2005. Everything after that, went towards the arcade racer market. Now that being said, due to where I live I have never been able to play the WRC series.
Richard Burns Rally is still considered the best rally game ever made by many hardcore rally game fans.
If Milestone could tune its car handling model and polish its visual output, the next version of WRC could help us forget that Codemasters has abandoned the world’s most mesmerizing motorsport.
Wonder how it looks on the Vita.
I really, really want to like the WRC games but the last two just... didn't do it for me, hopefully this one does. Would be nice to have a proper rally game again since Dirt has completely gone to hell.
Actually looking good :)
