It is, for any keen historians of the sport, simply heavenly.īut - I'm sorry, there is always a but - it's all served up with some of the sloppiness and cut corners that have undermined KT Racing's efforts with the series. Which, really, should be all you need to know to recommend WRC 10 to you - here's a take on the sport that's rife with authenticity, feels fantastic in your hands, that boasts a generous amount of stages plucked from the official calendar including new arrivals Estonia and Croatia matched by all-time classics and accompanied by one of the broadest, most appealing collection of rally cars I've seen in a contemporary game. There's a fidelity to the stages on offer here - and it's those stages that provide the fundamental challenge of the sport - that's unmatched, from the expansive roads of the Kenyan safari or the famous switchbacks of Monte Carlo. If there's any one particular area that WRC 10 pulls clear from its competition it's the stages, rich with detail and enhanced by dynamic conditions and time of day. #Wrc 10 update xbox drivers#The extreme conditions that rally drivers can face are replicated well here - there's nothing like driving through a storm at night once you've already knocked both your front lights out. Wheel support still isn't quite where it should be, perhaps - always an odd omission given the abundance of Fanatec logos in-game - but on a controller there's a pleasing clarity to WRC 10's handling. WRC 10's cars are a varied bunch, and it does well to do justice to everything from the low horsepower, rear engined and frankly pendulous classic Alpine A110 to the lightning quick WRC Yaris that seems to teleport from one point to another, turning corners perfectly on its axis. The classics might not boast the out-and-out speed of the current breed of rally cars, but there's something about tossing an old Abarth around the dusty heights of the classic Acropolis rally that's quicker to raise your pulse - underpinned, of course, by handling dynamics that are up there with Dirt Rally 2.0 and, dare I say it, Richard Burns Rally in being some of the very best we've ever seen in this particular subset of the racing genre. It's those images of lairy cars parting crowds that get directly to the insanity and appeal of rally, and so it is with their representation in WRC 10. Having iconic cars is nothing new to rally games, of course, but having some appropriately dressed stages with which to rag them around feels fresh - indeed, there's a little something of all-time sim great Grand Prix Legends in the experience of seeing icons of the sport such as Michèle Mouton matched with her brutish Quattro, or Didier Auriol with his Castrol-liveried Celica as you're invited to thread your way through reckless mobs of spectators in period correct stages stripped of modern advertising hoards. It's the 50th anniversary that frames the high points of this comprehensive package, with fresh stages providing a neat tour through the series' rich history. #Wrc 10 update xbox Pc#
