WRC 5: FIA World Rally Championship

A decent rally title, WRC 5 has its issues, but none of them are game-breaking. The online mode might be severely lacking, but the single-player experience is fully-formed, with Career Mode, Quick Rally and Quick Stage modes offering plenty of solo enjoyment. If you're after a good rally racer, look no further.

A rally game focused solely on the sport is a rare thing, and it's an opportunity to dive into this type of racing and concentrate on what makes it special. While WRC 5 offers a decent experience, it lacks bite or any distinguishing characteristics.

It’s a shame that these points take the shine off an otherwise excellent game, but while it might not have the looks of a Ferrari or an Aston Martin, given it’s a sport that fans will stand in a muddy field in the pouring rain to watch, maybe that’s not the biggest deal-breaker. WRC 5 really is the most fun I’ve had with a racer this year, giving you a phenomenal handling model, sticking you on a course and largely leaving you to attack it. What more could you want?
