Become the 2020 WRC Champion! WRC 9 is the leading off-road simulation franchise endorsed by the world's top drivers. It is the most in-depth rally game on the market: 3 new rallies (Kenya, Japan, New Zealand), over 15 classic cars and 100 special stages to tackle! WRC 9 has new game modes specially designed for the community, including a Clubs system where each player can create their own championship and compete in it online with the rest of the world! Take control of all official drivers and cars in 3 WRC categories with improved physics for even greater realism, redesigned environments and all-new pacenotes for total immersion. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ATReviews]Follow My Review Group Here! 💾Graphics - WRC 9 has pretty decent visuals. Stages look detailed and immersive, and car models also look solid. The UI is okay. Some people complain about the UI in this game, but I never really had issues with it. My biggest complaint is the lighting. I feel like the lighting just looks flat and bland. I am playing on max settings with a HDR OLED screen and I thought that would really make the visuals and colors pop well here, but everything just looks meh. The image is sharp and the game looks fine, it’s just the lighting. It’s not game breaking or a serious problem, just something I noticed. Besides that complaint, the game looks fine. 🎮Gameplay - If you played WRC 8, it’s basically the same game with some improvements. You have two career mode types. One with Team management, and the other only focusing on the rallies. You also have your standard quick rally stages as well you can do if you don’t wanna play the career mode. WRC 9 offers tons of fun and technical stages along with some cool classic cars, and the 2020 WRC lineup. The driving in this game is amazing! You gain such a strong confidence while rallying in these modern WRC cars. Tarmac and gravel both have a big change in feel and to me, it feels pretty natural and realistic. Yeah it’s not Richard Burns rally or Assetto Corsa Rally levels of realism, but it does a great job as a “Simcade”. WRC 9 also offers a pretty solid tire wear and damage system. This is really fun to experience on multiple rally sessions. It provides a solid tire strategy and being cautious when going flat out. Overall this gameplay section does feel like a step up compared to WRC 9. 🎭Multiplayer - Unfortunately the online servers are not here anymore. This sadly means that you can’t compete times anymore with online players or even use the online leaderboards. In my opinion this kinda takes away the fun of the game in some way, and like a lot of the game modes and mechanics that are online focused, are now useless. 🕛Playtime - This game may take around 20+ hours to compete. It’s not a long game and the achievements are kinda easy to get as well. Since the online services are no more, it kinda takes away some of the replayability for me since I can’t see online leaderboards. 🎧Sound - Sound design in this game just as bad as every other WRC game out there. I don’t know why they don’t put care into the audio in these games. We all want to hear a nice sounding engine, or at least make them sound somewhat realistic to their real life counterparts. The audio for the cars are just meh at best. The EA WRC games and Dirt franchise can do audio design so much better than these developers can ever do. Just a shame to see to be honest. ❗Bugs❗- I haven’t really encountered many bugs or issues with this game thankfully. 🔅Performance - Performance is really good. I was playing this on 1600p on ultra settings and was getting around 150-200+ FPS. Also no stutters or crashes. ✔️Pro’s✔️ [*]Solid visuals [*]Photo mode [*]Many rally locations [*]Tire wear model is good [*]Informative damage system [*]Stages are technical & detailed [*]Physics feel amazing & challenging [*]Career mode & Team management returns [*]Car tuning has two settings (Classic & Advance) ❌Con’s❌ [*]Sound design is subpar [*]Historic cars don’t feel good to drive [*]Online connection error after every rally [*]Can’t compete with quick rally times online anymore [*]Servers are shutdown (No more weekly and daily challenges) 🏆Rating - 7.5/10 🔗Conclusion - WRC 9 is a really solid title in the WRC lineup. My biggest gripe is the loss of online servers, making the online leaderboards and competitive side of the game completely gone. Luckily the physics, track selection and a pretty decent car variety for the 2020 WRC makes up for it in some way. I would rate this a 8/10 if the servers were still up, but since that’s not here, the game kinda got boring after beating the career mode. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1267540/WRC_9_FIA_World_Rally_Championship/

The best WRC game I've played so far I haven't played WRC 10 or WRC Generations yet, so I can't compare those directly. But I've played everything from WRC 4 through WRC 8, and honestly, none of the WRC games I've played come close to WRC 9 for me. I mostly play quick rallies. I don't really care about the career mode, team management, or all that stuff. I just want to pick a rally, get in the car, and drive, and WRC 9 absolutely delivers on that. Weather Conditions The weather conditions are one of my favorite parts. The stages can look and feel completely different depending on the conditions, and it adds a lot to the atmosphere and challenge. Physics The physics are also fantastic. The cars feel believable, the surfaces have character, and you really have to adapt your driving depending on what you're driving on. Stages There are so many stages for someone like me who mainly wants to jump straight into rallies, that's a huge plus. There's a lot of content without needing to touch the career mode. Graphics Visually, I think the graphics still hold up really well. The environments look great, the stages have plenty of detail, and the overall presentation does a great job of making the rallies feel alive. Photo mode!!! This was the first time the WRC series introduced it, and it's a really nice addition. It's surprisingly fun to stop after a good run and mess around with screenshots. Sound Design If I had to name one real drawback, it's still the engine sound design. That's the one area where I feel the series could have done much better. The cars don't always sound as good as they should, especially when compared with the rest of the experience but honestly, that's a relatively small complaint. For me, WRC 9 is the sweet spot of the series. Great physics, fantastic weather, tons of stages, good graphics, and exactly what I want from a rally game: pick a stage and drive. Highly recommended if you're here for the rallying itself. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3791757554 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3774315143 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3747656314

I dont care about the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ historical races and tryouts. Driving model is alright. Your RND is locked after level 60. You wont get points. you wont get XP. You will need a Trainer to reset your Level. Is this a bad game? Yes. Yes it is. Why? The only navigation aid is a deceptive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Something that would count as 2 short tighten is a 5 long on another. And the other way around. I think iam going into a fast corner and then am met by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HAIRPIN THAT WAS SAID TO BE A 5. I would kick the co-driver out of the car, tear his contract right then and there and do the rest of the stage entirely just with my eyes, thats more reliable than his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong instructions. The co driver is the one that goes out and notes it all in his notebook. Great if he actually would know what he is looking at. Which he doesnt.

If you can get 90% off of this game. It and good game. Caution !!! They turn off multiplayer servers . so it is a single player game . Tips : If you think the car is too oversteer, you might set your car differential tighten to easy control .
