![]() ![]() It has some great lighting effects that really showcase just how much better these environments look. The cars look more detailed, but it is the tracks that really shine in this game. I am sure they had to have used a different engine or an enhanced version of the existing one as this looks so much better than the previous game. While the gameplay of WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship has not changed much from the previous entry, the same cannot be said for the presentation. The worst thing about the “gameplay” is that they got rid of all the classic rally cars from the previous year's game! A Better Engine Under The Hood It is perfectly serviceable and there are a decent number of tracks, but it is just all rather unremarkable. Flying through the mud and nailing a corner just right so that you lose very little speed is very addictive. The gameplay is certainly more of a simulation than something like Dirt, but I think it is still accessible to most people. You do also have other modes that are more basic than career mode such as the rally mode where you pick a class and win a championship as well as multiplayer races with other cars on the track at the same time. Most of the time you play WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship you are racing against the clock and this can be a lot of fun. Apart from that though the career mode never feels all that exciting. ![]() I liked this aspect of it and wish it was something more rally games would do. You start off at the bottom, but rather than making you play through a ton of boring and slow Junior WRC, you only play a couple before progressing. You start by creating your driver and co-driver, you pick a manager, and your career starts. The main game mode on offer in WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship is the career mode and when you look now people say it is “dated” and I can kind of see why, but I do think it does some things right. Looking back now, what we have here is a decent, but rather unremarkable rally game that is really only worth playing if you are a big-time fan of the sport. I have always felt that WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship right from the get go was going to struggle against that year's offering from Codemasters. ![]()
