The Vita Lounge - "Last year when WRC 3 was released it split opinion – the graphics were average but basic although there was a solid driving model under the hood. The problem was not from how the game played, far from it in fact: when we reviewed it last year we gave it a fairly solid score, it was more from the genuine lack of content. WRC 3 reached the Vita initially with just five rallies and no real career mode to tackle. It was the skimmed milk of rally games; it felt like the bones were there but there wasn’t any meat to sink our teeth into. WRC 4, I’m pleased to report, is much closer to full fat milk; it has the meat on the bones, and despite a few rough edges here and there it’s by and large a quantum leap from last years effort."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
The only good news to report is Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss will be released, but the game has been delayed from its planned January 23 launch. No news about Skullgirls Encore and Cyberfront published the original PS3 version in Japan.
VVV: "It may lack innovation thanks to its mostly incremental improvements, but the restructured career, polished presentation, refined handling, vastly improved audio design and time of day changes all accumulate to make WRC 4 Milestone's most accomplished rally simulation yet.
