WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship

Handling these WRC cars, while not on par with a sim, is consistently fun and the courses, of which there are over 60, are a stand out of diversity and challenge. Career rallies stick closely to the WRC format although damage has been softened from last year which means repair choices are never a factor, not what you expect from a sport that is about a knives edge balance between speed and preservation. Damage quibbles aside the game has potential to be one of the classics WRC racers. Unfortunately, all the positives are crushed under the weight of muddied, jaggy graphics that struggle to maintain a consistent frame rate. The FPS is more tolerable from a first person camera view but the in car is probably the worst seen in a decade. Graphic also shine most when the sun is, yet the devs opted for random weather which leave gamers to deal with intolerable to near unplayable rain, night and fog effects 70% of the time. Gameplay is there but tech issues abound making this a pass for XBO.

Awful. Just awful. I got the game for free, yet feel like i got ripped off somehow.

I bought WRC 5 and had alot of fun and after watching numerous review videos for the next adaptation I had high hopes that WRC 6 would only get better...however... The graphics are pure slop of textures, colors and weather effects that are embarrassing and the night stages are a wreck, literally. You cannot see the road and yes I know that's. why you have a codriver. Then there is the handling on both pad and wheel. After 5 hours of fine tuning and tweeking I gave up. The cars are extremely jerky and there is no sense of control. No feeling of transition to different surfaces and handbrake doesnt seem to work. Even for the price of $49.99 just pass. Huge step back from the last one.

As one that has been playing rally games since the original Colin Mcrae Rally on the PSOne, Ive played my share of rally games in every imaginable format. I still remember the 'Official WRC Rally' on the PS2 (Horrible). It seems that WRC games never really have had a decent representation of driving a World Rally Car. From the underwhelming graphics, to the utterly horrible pacenotes by the co-driver. It has no natural flow, the notes are often late (Even when you adjust the setting to 'early')....bad pacenotes can break a rally game, and this version does NOTHING to fix that. Then theres the rather annoying engine sounds. The popping and banging is never really in sync and to be honest sounds random...you play motorsports games for the SOUNDS of the cars, yet another miss. On the other hand the stages seem to be GPS correct. 20 years ago WRC marketing director David Richards wanted a game with GPS correct stages..too bad its in this passionless mess...now go play Dirt 4. :)

Absolutely terrible. I've never felt so obligated to say how terrrible something is. Its like the worst regift wrapped with a terrible Christmas sweater wrapped in a used diaper filled with asparagus and Indian food vomit.
