WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship

Overall, WRC 8 screams mediocrity in every turn, something akin to a budget title, but still it’s sold for a full price. It’s not a bad game by any means but not that great either. At its best, WRC 8 can be nice enough to hop into now and then but nice isn’t enough when there’s a superior rally racing game available.

Rally racing isn’t really my strong suit when it comes to racing games but the difficulty of the courses along with the enjoyable audio experience will keep pulling me back in. Enough for me to even go back to previous titles and really give them another chance.

Is it better than its main competitor? It’s hard to say, as those game succeed in different departments, one featuring slightly better gameplay, with the other featuring a much more interesting career mode. What I can definitely affirm, however, is that WRC 8 is the best game ever released in the series and a fantastic achievement for developer Kylotonn. I guess these kings of rallying will have to learn to share a throne.
