Some of the Anniversary events are not straightforward, and so you are immediately restricting a more hands-on version of the career from the off. In the main single-player career, you can now create your own team, manage sponsors and design your own livery – something that has been lacking since the very first WRC game in 2001.Įxcept, you cannot start the career with your own team unless you complete all Anniversary events. Sadly, to get the most of some of the new features, you are forced to play the Anniversary Mode first. Once you plugged away at the Anniversary Mode, it’s time to hit up what remains the bulk of the game – the contemporary content.

Was I 10 seconds off, or one-tenth? No idea. The game does not tell you by how much you failed, either, as the leaderboard doesn’t include timing. But you can complete a stage with green splits all the way through, finish first and still fail the challenge. You’re meant to beat a target time, fair enough. The obfuscation of your goals is frustrating, however. The rear-wheel-drive cars such as the Alpine A110 and Lancia 037 are better behaved than in last year’s title, although it’s clear the physics model is designed primarily for the current WRC machinery. If you haven’t played one of these releases in a while though, you’ll get more out of it, and even for me, driving the fearsome Group B Peugeot 205 T16 or Group A Toyota Celica ST185 is enjoyable.
