I have talked about the travails of the rally game before and I reviewed WRC 2 last year, and it is sad to say I wasn’t entirely blown away by it. I am hoping that WRC 3 offers an improvement as I am longing for a really good, proper rallying title to come out. Hit the jump for two and a half minutes of action on a Spanish stage and for more details on WRC 3.
I was playing DiRT 3 the other day having a jolly good old time, I did some spins and jumps in Gymkhana and I took part in some Land Rushes and drifted my way up and down a little course. I was doing this stuff, yet all the while I was dreaming of what a real rally game should be like.
Some games are winners, some are losers, others fall in between. Sadly WRC, The Official World Rally Championship Game is one of those that has fallen in the gap. It is far from being a bad game, but it isn’t good enough to be considered a top-class quality release.
There are two types of rally game out there, the arcadey stylings of DiRT and the real-world focus of the upcoming official World Rally Championship game from Milestone. The head of physics game designers at Milestone, Irvin Zonca was able to talk to me about the game. Read on for thoughts about competing against DiRT, car set ups, weather and much more.
