![]() ![]() Good mix of cars, like the new Polo R5 especially but missing 'proper' modern WRC cars again. The new countries are good - New Zealand is great, I remember loving that on the original Colin McRae Rally, and it feels pretty authentic, have had a quick go on Poland and Australia too and looking forward to remastered versions of the original DR events over the next few weeks. Feels similar to the original game, without the zero gravity jump physics. Overall, it's keeping me coming back for more.Īfter my faux indignation about the price I bought the deluxe version today.Īfter an afternoon of (slowly) downloading an update I got a few minutes in. I prefer the calls to be a second or so before I have to take action for that particular corner. I found the default a little bit too early, as Phil Mills was giving me calls for corners 3 or 4 corners ahead. There are plenty of options and assists, including how early or late your co-driver calls are. Spain is the only all tarmac rally, and while I've been told the tarmac physics aren't as good as the gravel, it's probably more noticeable playing with a wheel. But it's very easy to end up pinballing between the banks and end up in a huge accident. Poland is mega fast and fun and is a mixed surface rally. Argentina is very tough despite being a slow set of stages, as the gravel tracks are surrounded by big rocks. New England is a nice looking autumn set of stages, and the narrow paths make it quite challenging. New Zealand is a bit of a gentle intro, but is still challenging at times, especially in the hairpins where you need to hook into the inside camber or you simply slide out into the scenery. Of the rally stages, they've done the usual thing of having 2 very long stages in each country, which they then chop up and reverse into smaller sections to bring it to about 10 stages per country, but it does mean you recognise a lot of sections. All the Rallycross circuits are there with all the top level drivers and cars (it is the official game of the World Rallycross Championship). With it there's plenty of cars to play with. It's no fun if you win easily, but it's also no fun if you're trying your hardest and can only manage 17th on what felt like a solid run. I'll win a stage if I have a great run, but if I just play it safe I'll be near the front. This is strange because with F1 2018, even in career mode you can adjust the AI level race to race, to keep the game at the right level of challenge, so I'm surprised Codies didn't incorporate it.Ĭurrently focusing on the historic series for the main rally game, because I can bring the difficulty to where I want it. I'm a bit more competitive at Rallycross though, and it's a lot of fun too. So after an initial first season where I won in the Lancia Fulvia starter car, I struggle to get into the points at Clubman level. Unfortunately you can't adjust the AI level in career mode. ![]() I'm still playing about with the assists and AI difficulty to get it to where I need it to be competitive. It's very good from where I'm sat, and with an XBox One controller, quite difficult. I decided to buy it because the last rally game I had was Dirt 3. ![]()
