Starting either in Junior WRC or WRC3, you manage your team, calendar, and skills to slowly build reputation and climb the ranks. While you can use custom liveries in Quick Play, it seems an odd restriction.ĭespite these structural eccentricities, the in-depth Career mode remains a highlight. Equally strange is the requirement to unlock all Anniversary events before you can access Private Team mode in Career, which lets you use the impressive new livery editor for your own team. Anniversary events will crop up in your career calendar, and you must beat the time trials before they're easily accessed within the main menu. To unlock more 50th Anniversary events, you need to first complete them in Career mode. It's awesome to have all these well-known events and cars, especially for long-time fans, but the way the mode is integrated into the game is unusual. Unfortunately, unless you pre-ordered the game or are willing to fork out for them, the Subaru Impreza WRC and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V aren't on the roster. You'll run through notable moments from the infamous Group B category, Group A, and into the 2000s, driving some of the motorsport's most recognisable vehicles: Lancia Stratos, Audi quattro Sport, Lancia Delta Integrale, Toyota Celica - the list goes on. It includes a number of milestone events, starting with 1973's Acropolis Rally and Alpine's first ever win in the A110 Berlinette. Yes, the headline addition in this year's game is a celebration of the motorsport's five-decade history. Going from Junior WRC's entry level, front-wheel drive cars to the four-wheel drive vehicles of WRC3 and beyond is a noticeable jump - each class feels different, especially when you consider the classic cars found in the title's 50th Anniversary mode. What's nice is that you really do feel a difference between categories. Ultimately, throwing these cars around feels great, especially with the DualSense's fancy triggers and haptics, once again put to great use here. It sits in the "sim-cade" camp - aiming for realism, but with a little bit of leeway. We played with default settings and found the handling to be highly entertaining. With lots of customisation options allowing you to tweak the difficulty, it's a game that scales with you. The simulation isn't quite as demanding as DiRT Rally 2.0, but that's not to say this isn't a challenging rally title. The driving itself is of course the most important part of any racing game, and it's here where the game shines. After last year's WRC 9 made significant improvements to the officially licensed rally racer, WRC 10 iterates on the winning formula, presenting another fantastic experience - even if it is a little rough around the edges. Developer KT Racing has found its footing with the WRC series.
