WRC 3

Wow, exceptionally harsher than I thought.. Thought the demo played quite well.. Is it partly because Forza Horizons been in reviewed that its lost points due to how good the other one is... just curious tbh..

"one wrong flick of the steering wheel and you'll be scraping your fleshy visage off the dashboard"

Erm, isn't that how rallying is? I'm assuming from the demo, its a bit more simmy compared to Dirt 3, which incidentally was awesome to be fair...

Ah well a shame really, may have a look when its reduced, in a month or so, was hoping for better things, although proper rally stages that last a bit longer would be nice in any game... Dirt 3 in that respect didn't cut it for me, despite how good it was..

They were reviewed by different writers, but yeah - Milestone didn't do themselves any favours by releasing this close to Horizon

I have to say I disagree with almost everything said in this review.
For a start, the visuals in this game are leagues ahead of the visuals in the previous two releases. Admittedly, by today's standards they aren't anything particularly special, but they are perfectly acceptable.
Now, onto the handling. Play RBR, a long established rally sim, and you get a real sense of what a rally car should feel like. This game really isn't far off RBR, in terms of physics and handling. If you're left "unsatisfied" by the driving experience, you're clearly to used to the arcade style presented by the DiRT series or Forza Horizon.
In short, this is the most realistic rally game you can get on a console at this time. It is a sim, and as such is free of the gimmicky game modes you see in the DiRT titles. It gives a lot of rally fans what they want, a chance to experience what a rally car is like, and to climb their way up in the rallying world. But if you are a fan of arcade racers, then this probably isn't for you.
