WRC 3 is a big step forward when compared to previous games. Milestone uses the WRC license very well - every new game looks considerably better. Better graphics is on par with better driving experience. The game is overall much better but some fans can be put off by a DiRT-y career mode. Still - it is the best rally game out there right now.
WRC 3 has no challenger this year because there is no DiRT or other rallye game on the market. Milestone improved the game compared to the prequel but there are still some weak-points. The loading time is to long, there is still no split-screen mode and it's absolutely difficult to get started with WRC 3 if you are a newbie.

This is the best game ever. Period. Ever look for tight racing controls? Fantastic single and multiplayer experience? Infinite replayability? WRC 3 is your game, neigh, your right as a human being.

Just picked this up and was suprised after middling reviews. Much Purer rally than Dirt and the handling is good. Tough for new players? Maybe but I guess that what practise is for. It's not a bad game because it presents a challenge.

A refreshingly dry take on a single discipline. [Christmas 2012, p.89]
Like much of WRC 3, the driving isn't bad, just ordinary. [Dec 2012, p.105]
WRC 3: FIA World Rally Championship has more than enough content to keep you busy with its 83 tracks, 50 drivers, and 37 cars. But, despite being the official game of the World Rally Championship, it has many issues that strip away its authenticity – the most problematic of which being poor track feedback. The title's more than competent as a casual off-road racer, but unfortunately for developer Milestone, Codemasters already has that genre locked up with its exceptional DiRT series.
There's lots of space for a more serious, realistic rally game but this doesn't fit the bill – with a distinct lack of excitement and innovation.
The bottom line is that I play games to have fun. While I found the handling and tracks fun, I have no desire to play a game whose difficulty curve turns it into a second job because it demands near-perfection from the outset. Chances are, if this game is for you, you've already bought it.
Next to the Dirt games this is the best rally racing game available. Where the Dirt games have spun off into other themed racing events, this game purely focuses on rally racing.
Beware you will not like this game if you are looking for an arcade style racer. The driving is fantastic if you are a fan of games like Dirt series, Gran Turismo, Forza, etc.

If you like rally and you like sim-like racers, this game is actually quite good. The physics are fairly good: decently realistic, never too frustrating, and quite rewarding when you get it right. It's fun to go from tarmac to gravel and "feel" the difference. I wish it had longer stages and more of them, but whatever. I got Dirt 3 and this at the same time and I'm spending much more time on this. You can sit down, spend 35 minutes and do an entire rally of 7 stages, which is pretty enjoyable.

The game is all right for me a love rally a lot but this was totally different. WRC 2 is way better than this but if you want to play rally game so diffrent but make sure you get a good look at the price.

Totally AWFUL.
Just bought this game and the car engine sounds don't work in game, even once the patch is installed. Cars feel slow and pants, really disappointing. DIRT3 is utterly superior.

Summary In WRC 3 the graphic aspects have been reworked to give the player the best experience in a Rally Game. Thanks to the new Spikengine new lighting effects, shadows, particle effects are featured in the game to offer the maximum level of realism to each player. And mind the new surfaces and the weather conditions.
