EA Sports WRC reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
“EA Sports WRC takes the class-leading feel of 2019’s Dirt Rally 2.0 and stuffs it into an officially licensed World Rally Championship experience, like a steel rod in Timo Rautiainen’s backside. Loose surface handling remains supreme, stages have been pumped up to 30 kilometre marathons, the audio is excellent, and the selection of modern and historical rally cars is achingly close to spot-on. However, just like a steel rod into your co-driver’s buttocks, there have also been some unwelcome, performance-related side effects and some serious lost position in the graphics race with the competition. Stuttering and tearing are common while racing on Xbox Series X, and the fidelity here falls well short of being a generational leap from Dirt Rally 2.0. With these technical shortfalls, combined with a lukewarm career mode and underdone customisation, EA Sports WRC feels like a great racing game trying to fight its way out of an unfinished one.”
Flatout 1 on ps2 drives somehow better on snow than this trash…
Considered myself One of the Best playing Colin McRae 2.0 "CodeMasters." Awesome Gig.
How can rallye games suck so much these days.
Since Dirt 2.0 rallye games graphics dont evolve. Why???
Whats better this or wrc generations
How is a broken game with poor gfx and get 6 above average ? 🙂
A man who calls them like he sees them. More of this, please, IGN
Gran turismo and Colin Mcrae rally were my first 2 games also. 😊
…. and I'm still playing old games. The industry burns.
8:00 you just have to learn to not be flat on the accelerator around the corner like real life
thanks for making me avoid this game
Feels better than WRC Generations, but has worse graphics, frame rate drops and screen tearing.
SUPER DISAPPOINTING!
Compaired with V-RALLY 4, both of the latest WRC titles including the EA one, don't hold up when it comes to physics and the fell of PS4 "V-RALLY 4".
Thanks for this review, this has confirmed I'm staying well away from this game.
This has also reconfirmed how awful of a company EA are, just money hungry scammers in the gaming world. If there is a shortcut to be had you can be assured EA will take it.
Another game ruined by EA
do not buy this
Any improvements to the stuttering with patches?
The game is a POS.
Dirt 5
How to fix CE-108255-1 Error 😢😢😢
dirt rally 2 was legendary, this one not so much
This is £20 on Amazon now (UK) worth it?
Waiting for my PS5 EA WRC. Comments on here are people opinion, won't let that stop me from getting any race games.
Has the games poor performance and screen testing yet been sorted with patches ? Was looking at getting this for the Steam Deck.
Well that stuttering is probably never getting fixed cause I've heard it's a feature of (all versions?)`of the unreal engine. So unless a miracle happens and they manage to fix something they haven't managed to fix for a decade that's not getting fixed.
Has the stutters been fixed yet?
6 ouch
Dirt Rally 2.0 grafiks are far better then this lol and its much older game!
Glad to see an honest review, will save my money!
shouldn't you be a great wrc racer to review this game?
Britney Steers . . . nice
why the graphics look so bad?
Stop it your Embarrassing yourself it's a great sim
Omg first world problem
Everything EA touches turns to crap.
is this played in slo-mo 😕 its looks slow as hell
Britney Steers and Taylor Drift😂
It's on sale for £26 at the min, any idea if they have fixed the freezing and screen tearing?
This game looks so sick!
If they can fix some of the bugs and performance issues with patches, itd be perfect…though I’d love to see some ken block DLC. Adding in the hoonicorn or something would be amazing
EA = R3T4RD$
destroy everything they touch.
Such a shame Codemasters got acquired by them
Everything EA touches, goes down the toilet.
1998, new Playstation, Colin McRae Rally as first game?
Welcome to the club, this was exactly my start into gaming.
Will never forget those times with my dad on the couch trying to beat those racing games ❤
anything about driving and sim value? mate only talks about looks
Same as u used to have on my ps1
Gets a like from me just for Britney Steers and Taylor Drift 😂
If you guys stop buying "FIFA(fc)" every year, EA will not have money to destroy top tier developers.
Fantastic review, better accent!
10/10 on the reviewer.
let's wait for the EA Sports WRC 2.0
EA SPORTS WRC is basically the 150th game destroyed by EA's greediness.
