"We’re therefore eagerly awaiting to see how WRC4 will evolve series if a release is on the cards for this time next year, but we can at least now forgive and forget Milestone’s initial false starts as WRC3 is hands-down the most definitive rally game since Richard Burns Rally made by rally enthusiasts for rally enthusiasts. Third time lucky, Milestone."
TeamVVV writes: "Hot on the heels of our WRC 5 vs Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO comparison we thought we'd now pit the nine-time world rally champion endorsed game up against WRC 3.
What's particularly interesting here is that both games were developed by the same team – Milestone. Of course Milestone have since lost the WRC license to Kylotonn Games but don't rule them out bidding for it back in the future."
YouTube's member 'nfsking2000' has created an interesting tribute to rally games, in which we get to see the actual evolution of this genre from its MS-DOS days to its current-gen ones.
awesome!!! thanks for making me realize how disgusting this gen was as far as rally games go...
colin mcrae's
richard burns's
WRC's
topgear n64
are some of my favorites
WRC this gen stuck to its roots even though milestone took over they really improved and i cant wait for WRC4 on the VITA <---- now thats evolution : )
The last great rally game was Colin McRae Rally 2005. Everything after that, went towards the arcade racer market. Now that being said, due to where I live I have never been able to play the WRC series.
Richard Burns Rally is still considered the best rally game ever made by many hardcore rally game fans.
If Milestone could tune its car handling model and polish its visual output, the next version of WRC could help us forget that Codemasters has abandoned the world’s most mesmerizing motorsport.
My biggest problem with the game is not really the cars or the physics but the tracks.
Honestly now I'm sure even the 9 times world and most definitely the greatest rally driver Sebastian Loeb would have a hard time going through the insanely and unbelievable ( literally ) tracks built by the developers of WRC3.
Even with all the option of tuning your fave-pick rally car, you are going to experience a very hard slog with all the extreme turns, yumps ( jumps ) on this game no doubt about it.
Not a bad review and its not a bad game but my biggest problem with the game is the track design way too many corners and not enough high speed areas. Way to may hairpins after hairpins
I would like to see Codemasters get the WRC licence. ( there is some talk they may just be doing that).
Me too, I hope it don't go to code masters, I hate the over americanised arcadey dirt series, keep it real rallying!!!
