I really enjoyed the demo, especially the jordan stage but i wont be paying full price for it. Give it a couple of months and it will be cheap.

Not downloaded the demo.. usually it ends up stuck at 97 %....hehe

Was dissapointed with the car models during development but the depth of the backgrounds once released were good & saved the day for me. The 360 needed another good `proper` WRC title in the same vein of the epic PS2 titles. Like Hawx 2, will be bagging it when appearing in the trade section nearer the 20 quid mark.

It looks like Colin McRae 2005 up to dated. Which is good.

But there are a few big problems i have with this game:
The biggest crime it commits nonetheless i feel is that all the rally stages are just Wide and totally Flat, the car feels like its floating and you do not feel connected to the game.

Also i found that the car's do not make a nice sound ,Not realistic at all and the co-driver is bloody annoying


The Brand of "WRC" will sell the game , But it deserves Far better than this rather out dated feeling arcade game.

It's naff, it's no Colin McRae 5 that's for sure.
The only bonus was I got it for about £27 which is why I was tempted but it's not even worth that.

As above, it's a very 'floaty' game, and the physics engine is far from the best. I'm enjoying playing through it, but only because it lets me turn my brain off a bit and sit there mindlessly. Very little skill involved, though that might change a bit if you were playing with a wheel instead of on a controller.
