![]() ![]() Play goes from sorta-controlled on-track settings, to ‘extreme weather’ conditions. Though there thankfully is a tutorial, the game throws gamers into a little of everything right from the jump. This is something that’s apparent from the very beginning of the game, and WRC 9 doesn’t ease players who might not be used to its mechanics (like me) into anything. ![]() Its brand is tough, rough, and takes place in all-elements. That’s pretty straightforward genre stuff, though as mentioned above, World Rally Championship 9’s races aren’t what you might be used to. Like all racing games, the point in WRC 9 is to hit the finish line with the best time, or before your opponents. Still, it was a bit of a trial by fire, and you’ll see what I meanly that. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since it certainly presented something very different for me to review. As such, I had a rude awakening with WRC 9, the latest in the highly-regarded World Rally Championship series. Start your enginesĪre you a racing game fan? And if you are, do you dig titles the lean a little more to the arcade like the Forza series, or the more sim-like stuff like Gran Turismo?Īctually let’s go a little deeper still, because there’s another variable I’m going to throw at you – have you ever played a sim-tilted racer that was off road, rally style? I ask because there’s a huge difference in the gameplay you might be unaware of.įor me, it had been years and years since I’d played a rally title, and I honestly forgot what it was like. The official game of FIA brings the wild world of rally racing to next generation consoles. ![]() Coming in 2021 there is also the WRC eSports League once again.World Rally Championship is back once again in WRC 9. Occasionally there will also be a Special Challenge with a real-life prize such as a watch or something extra. There are daily and weekly events where you can earn points based on leaderboard position too. There are 50 challenges in total and range from Extreme Condition races, where you need to get as far as possible, to Maintenance challenges – in these you can only repair certain parts of the car before then taking it out for a spin.Įven in Multiplayer, you are presented with several options, letting you create or join lobbies where players can form their own rulesets or rallies, or you may choose to compete in an Online Event. The better your performance, the more points you are awarded, and these then collect to unlock more challenges. Another personal favourite was Challenge mode that gives you short and sharp races with three objectives to complete. There is always this element of the unknown when approaching a corner will the car turn as anticipated or will there be too much understeer? This seems to happen more when on gravel or asphalt, less so when on slippier surfaces such as snow or dirt.Īway from Career mode, there are plenty of other options to choose from. Handling has been improved on the cars in general, but still feels a bit hit and miss. I would have expected morale to be at an all-time high when earning a promotion, likewise when sticking with the same manufacturer through divisions too. However, when taking on new contracts in higher WRC divisions, morale and relationships seem to reset. ![]()
