#WRC 9 ALL CARS SERIES#
Newcomers to the series are well-advised to stop by the training mode first, which features plenty of exercises on a closed track to give you a feel for the cars and how they handle. Season mode returns, which allows players to take part in rallies without the crew management aspects while Quick Play is perfect for driving any stage of any rally with the car and weather conditions of your choice. Of course, not everyone wants to manage their own team or delve into the financial side of things, so it’s a good thing that there are plenty of other modes on offer too. Career mode quickly hooked us and between the rallies, extreme events, historic races, and manufacturer tryouts there was rarely a dull moment. However, you’ll need to keep an eye on your finances, team morale as well as your standing with the manufacturer to prevent your career from coming to a premature end. However, career mode is also still a lot of fun, and working your way up from the WRC Junior class to full-blown WRC Championships is very addictive.Īlong the way, you’ll hire staff that will help you with things like repairs, weather reports, and finances as well as earn experience points that can be spent on a comprehensive research and development skill tree. Another nitpick is that you still sometimes get impossible to complete career objectives at times.
#WRC 9 ALL CARS DRIVER#
It’s a bit disappointing that there is still no way to customize your driver beyond choosing a name and nationality especially as you’ll look exactly the same as your co-driver.
#WRC 9 ALL CARS FULL#
Career mode is back in full swing and remains relatively unchanged from last year. Last year introduced the career mode to the game, which saw players pick a category, choose a manufacturer and then take part in a series of events selected from a calendar. Everything is laid out in a straightforward and easy to access manner, so newcomers can also jump straight in. WRC 9 features the same interface as the previous game, so veterans will feel right at home. The sport is a little more niche than circuit-based racing, but a lot more exciting as well as very demanding. Unlike traditional races, the WRC is all about posting the best times on point to point tracks that are spread across the world.

Instead, WRC 9 comes with a couple of improvements to improve the overall playing experience as well as some new additions that fans of the series will enjoy.įor those not familiar with the World Rally Championship, it is a rallying series that is organized by the FIA and pits some of the top manufacturers against each other.

With it being a yearly franchise they were obviously not going to give everything a complete overhaul, but WRC 8 was so good that major changes were not really necessary. WRC 8 impressed us last year with its brilliant tracks, beautiful cars, and in-depth career mode, so we were eager to see what the developers brought to the table this year.
