Eurogamer: "There are rough edges here; graphical polish is variable, with Finland's watery autumn sun and muddy forests looking very atmospheric, but the Jordanian and German stages needing a few more passes to come up to scratch. Unfortunately, you can't expect Milestone to be able to match the visual pyrotechnics of, say, Codemasters' EGO engine. The sound, however, is already excellent.
But it's how WRC feels in your hands, and the feeling Milestone exhibits for the sport, that really matter; especially so after a five-year wait for the return of true rallying to the videogame form. On those counts, you've every right to be optimistic."
Neocrisis: It's been a while since a rally game was released (five years in fact), WRC - FIA World Championship 2010 from Black Bean Games is now here...
PlayDevil get down and dirty with the new WRC 2010 game from Milestone & Black Bean- does it deliver rallying thrills and spills?
Here is a snippet:
"I actually can’t think of a worse looking or sounding game on the 360. Several arcade games look better. What Milestone were playing at, I have no idea. It’s massively unfortunate, because "WRC the game" actually plays pretty well."
I dont get it, this game is scheduled to come out in Feb 2010 here in Canada?? What's up with that?? Hopefully they tweak it by then.
Petter Hegevall writes: "Despite the well engineered car physics (with a few much needed adjustments), WRC fails to entertain for any longer periods of time. The stages are boring, the notes are too slow, and the graphics too primitive. That and the fact that you cannot shave time off by cutting corners makes for a decidedly mediocre rally title."
