    A pretty decent rally game, but lacks finishing touches especially with graphics and audio. The driving model regarding feedback could be also more refined. [Dec 2011]

    WRC 2 isn't the best racing game, but it offers a satisfying rally experience.

    It's bloated, cumbersome and little has changed from last year, and in that way bears many parallels to the game itself. However, it's also earnest, uncompromising and serves its purpose well enough, and in that sense it is equally a fitting title.
  4. WRC 2 is a game that, if you were to it to someone, sounds like the perfect rally game. Once it's in your hands, though, you can't help but feel a bit glum. Whether it's a lack of time, money or skill, we're hopeful that Milestone comes back next year with a title to do the license proud. [Dec 2011, p76]

  1. I got this game for my birthday, it's fun and it's a real WRC simulation game. It's not the best racing game I've played, but I have fun playing and I think that's most important with the games. I haven't played 2010 version, so I can't tell if it's just a refurbished game, but the graphics are ok (not GT5). From what I'm reading in most reviews, I think that they need to really renew the franchise for WRC3 like Dirt was. (most say that I didn't liked Dirt3) Expand
  2. I've I spent a number of hours online with this and I have had a good experience with it.
    Yes the graphics aren't any better than WRC 2010, an
    d it seems like a majority of the stages are from last years game to, BUT there are new 2 lane cross-over Super Special Stages, and the handling's been given an overhaul.
    The cars in WRC 2010 felt like obese middle aged men wearing a steel suit of armour, the 2011 model is light and nimble. Also it seems like there's more collapsible fences to hurtle through and straight to the scene of an accident, instead of metal barriers to bounce off, so you're driving style has to evolve to this lack of safety net.
    It's strange, but I was disappointed by F1 2011 despite my love for the actual sport, but I really like WRC 2011 despite not following the real sport at all. Weird.

    Try it, you may be surprised.

  3. Honestly saying. I'm really disappointed with this game. Most of the stages are the same as WRC 2010. Blackbean and Milestone are simply "recycling" the old title's contents. I can't believe it and regret buying this game.
    And brownish colored graphics looks very dark and dirty. Some car models are really awful, almost look like a toy. I think this game is not 2011 quality. I'd like to recommend you "Don't buy this game".
