There are other nuances in the game that could have helped set it apart. But the thing is, even though there’s no music, you still can’t hear the engine.Īll you can hear is the crackle of the exhaust, and even that sounds tinny. I guess it’s because I prefer to listen to engine sounds, so usually in rally games I mute the music anyway. There’s no music, but I didn’t really notice that until I read people complaining about it. At the very least give me some dust! Some snow! Some mud!Īt least it sounds great, right? Well, no. They should have used less polygons on the car, and more on the track. There are also no particle effects, so whether you’re on tarmac or gravel, the only difference is in the behavior of the car, and the color of the road.Ĭar models are beautiful, and I think that’s where they got it wrong.

The solo modes, though, are fantastic: the career mode specially, as it has a plethora of tracks from all over the world, including some that are out of commission.īut this is where it all starts to come undone.Įven though there are tons of tracks, the graphical sacrifices made to port the game to the Vita mean that all tracks look the same: drab. If you’re expecting something like Need for Speed or Grand Theft Auto, even, you’re out of luck. Rally games (and real-life rally) are solo experiences by nature. If you play with arcade settings, though, it’s glorious oversteer, specially lift-off oversteer and four-wheel drifting.Īnother good thing is the amount of content: I don’t mind that it doesn’t really have multiplayer (other than “ghost mode”). Instead of easily oversteering, you need to steer with your throttle on most cars. The “rally simulation” setting adds a lot of realism, but takes away the fun. You can change the realism if you want something a bit more “sim-like”, but if you want arcade rally gaming, it’s here in all its glory. If you’re a rally game fan, you can feel the heritage of games like Colin McRae Rally and even Sega Rally in WRC 5. Let’s start with the good: the mechanics are spot on. The reality, however, is that it was made by a tailor who was half blind. So, in theory, this game was tailor-made for me. I watched and re-watched all of the episodes of Top Gear (UK only, thanks). The main problem is that I really want to like this game: I am a motorsports fan.
