World Rally Championship

for Sony Playstation 2

Distributed by
Sony

cover If there's one good thing about World Rally Championship it's that there's little question over what you're going to get.

You can see what to expect from the very title - a driving game based on a real-life sport, with the real names of the sports heroes and the real cars - including a Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer and Ford Focus - and round the real tracks around the world. Still, at least the set-up screen is helpful in choosing the best options for gears, tyres, etc. rather than taking you to a complicated garage set-up where you haven't got a clue what you're doing unless you're a real egg-head with this sort of thing.

It'll also be no surprise to learn that as well as being able to race all 14 World Rally stages - V-Rally style with directions being shouted out along hte way, you can try out a single rally, go for a practice spin or head-to-head against a friend, here with a horizontal or vertical split-screen mode. Replays can also be viewed from a multitude of angels.


cover The graphics and sound are, quite frankly, nothing to write home about but they serve an adequate purpose. In fact, adqeuate just about sums up the game as a whole. The tracks may be accurate, although I've never gone and studied one myself, but driving round one rally track is very much like driving round another and monotony sets in very early. The car's engine hums and there's a bang when you hit the side of the track, but that's about it for sound.

No doubt somewhere this game will have claimed the most accurate handling for each of the cars' individual specs, but all you need to know is that it'll take you a fair while to get used to each one - same goes for learning all the tracks and which hairpin bends can be taken at what speeds, but if you want some instant fun without trying to work things out? Give it miss and take a drive round the streets in Grand Theft Auto 3.

For those that do want some rally fun, rent it first before you consider buying.
