  • Summary: The only officially licensed game of the World Rally Championship, WRC brings you all the authentic action and excitement of the rally circuit, as you race over 100 tracks in some truly massive racing locations. The unique 'go anywhere' engine means that the road is no longer the only route to the chequered flag, so you'd better be careful on those mountaintop bends. [Sony Europe]… Expand

    A grueling 81 stages of the World Rally Championship await you, all modeled using satellite topography and some of the finest graphics you'll have seen on the PS2 yet. [June 2002, p.101]

    [An] exceptional rally game--one that has no equal on the PlayStation 2.

    Whilst the game might handle like a superlative arcade racer from each dynamic moment to the next, it neither looks nor behaves like one in any real, wider sense...it's far too concerned with vainly struggling to be a simulation.

    I would not recommend this to anyone new to the genre. Play "GT3: A-Spec" instead - it costs the same amount and is a much, much better experience.

    I think that WRC is an excellent game with suburb and bind-blowing graphics. It is very similar to the real time experience, which makes this game an excellent game. This game has all the cars and tracks up to date, which is another reason to buy this game. If you are thinking about buying this excellent game, I heartly recommend this product. Even if you are not a person who likes racing games, this will be a great starter. I recommended this game to a friend of mine who only liked one-peson shooters and now he hates those types of games and he can't stop playing WRC.… Expand

    It's okay, but 2 player is a complete f... up, and there no service area completly detracting the need for damage at all. V-Rally 3 surpasses this in every way.… Expand
