Spectators also get very close to the road for some classic stages, harking back to the daredevils of the Group B era. The stages are period-correct as well, with billboards showing era-appropriate ads should you have a fleeting moment to take your eyes off the road. Aside from running through 19 classic rallies in History Mode, you can jump right into a plethora of historic stages, with Acropolis and San Remo being arguably the best of the bunch. Nacon and KT Racing studio would point to WRC 10's extra content, focusing on the history of the World Rally Championship. But the million-dollar question is this: If WRC 10 merely equals WRC 9, why buy the new one? More Cars, More Tracks It looks as good as the old game too, and these are all good things because WRC 9 was a major step forward for the franchise. It didn't take long to learn WRC 10 is a match for WRC 9 where it counts, offering a smile-inducing driving experience that isn't quite as hardcore as DiRT Rally 2.0. As before, we sampled the newest iteration on the Xbox One X playing through a 4k HDR television, racing with a modified Logitech G920 force-feedback wheel.
It was easily the best WRC-branded game of them all, so admittedly, WRC 10 has a high bar to meet. There's no doubt that WRC 9 is a strong contender and should certainly be on the list for anybody who wants a great rally game for their Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X in a few months time.We have a bit of experience in this area, as we reviewed WRC 9 in September 2020. There are a few bugs but nothing game breaking in the least. In keeping with that the visuals, audio, general racing improvement, as well as improved physics. However, unlike last year's outing which was a massive leap, this seems to be content to simply refine. WRC 9 is yet another step ahead for the WRC series from previous installments. The audio is on the same level as the visuals. At least that's how the engines sound, well, if you're going that fast. However, you're not meant to be focusing on them, you're meant to be zipping past at 200 miles per hour to the winners cup. The only issue you may find is if you look too closely at the spectators or some backgrounds, the same quality isn't always apparent. If you turn your lights off, all you can hear is the thunder of the torrential rain on your roof and the crash as you hit the wall you couldn't see after spinning out after aquaplaning. From the great shots of light filtering through the lush trees, to the impossibly dark extreme weather events you can find in the campaign. By the time I'm recovering myself the game is transporting me back on the track with a stern look on its face and a sharp penalty to my time. Well, you may find yourself wrapping yourself around a surprising obstacle every now and then, particularly when you find a tree for example that's just chilling in the middle of the course? One thorn still there and if I've complained, you're allowed to go a bit off track and if you crash, the game needs to give you more time to recover. You'll find it a lot more challenging and a struggle to stay on course and not find yourself wrapped around the scenery as frequently.
When it comes to the awe striking weather effects in WRC 9. From dirt to gravel, a dry surface, to a soaked surface, or snow, you'll find it genuinely feels different with a change of course or a change of car. About responding to the track, you'll find the game offers great reactions to different surface types and weather conditions. I'm not going to say the car sticks to the road, you'll get some air when needed as this is a rally game after all, but all this is part of the racing and your car responding to the track is a great improvement. Fortunately, KT Racing seems to have finally fixed a long-running issue where, even after the slightest of bumps, my car would go flying off like the wright brothers on an early flight attempt. It manages this through its improved physics, and just the general feel of the cars handling, as well as how they react to the varying challenges the game brings your way. It's still accessible enough that people of all ages can set up and enjoy they game at their desired skill set. Let's make one thing clear, this isn't a leap forward in the same sense that WRC 8 was however the net generation is right around the corner and it will be interesting to see what enhancements await with games like dirt 6 Irving soon. Let's make one thing clear, this isn't a leap forward in the same WRC 9 is yet the next installment in my long time enjoyable rally series. WRC 9 is yet the next installment in my long time enjoyable rally series.
