At this time I cannot recommend this title. It has promise and could be better so I'll stick with it and see if things get better with more time played (however some items are deeper than a quick fix). Of my time played half of it was setting up controls and getting the game to run smoothly.

I express a bunch of my negative views in this review video.

The good, it looks better than WRC 5 and appears to have a better career mode.

Game modes would also be a plus, rally, hill climb, and rallycross something for nearly everyone.

Stage lengths are ok, same as DiRT Rally 5km to 10km.

Pace ntoes are good, intuitive for those who have played rally games the past 10+ years unlike WRC 5.


The bad, no triple monitor support. Oh sure you can select your triple screen resolution but it'll lag just trying to select to type your name in. Runs fine on one screen.

Handling, not sure how you fish tail a FWD car on tarmac but apparently you can. Overall the handling feels stupid loose, and not realistic at all.

Stages, I've only driven in Finland but they have made the finish forest roads 1.5 cars wide. ummmmmm they are much wider go watch some WRC footage.

Wheel support, they do support a variety of wheels but even on a G27 you have to do some profiler set-up before even calibrating it in the game.

Pace notes, how can they be both good and bad, well they are given in monotone no matter what is happening or the speed of the car. If I'm going faster and there are successive calls you probably should rattle them off a bit faster.

Basically I'll still give this title a chance just because I like rally games but I don't have high hopes for it to improve.

Sorry for the wall of text.
