Дуже крута гра але для неї не підходять мало-градусні рулі, от в мене наприклад 180° і чесно для цієї гри це замало.

If the game recommends wet asphalt do not accept. Actually got me so tilted I about left a negative review.

I mean...this is the latest WRC series that compatible with my device... Btw, congrats Nacon, WRC series back to you.

Very Fun! Issues I've had. Finding it hard to interpret the navigator sometimes (could just be me) The car audio disappears for a bit in some races

It's a fun rally game. Some small technical issues: disappearing audio sometimes for a few seconds. Aside from that it's very faithful to the rally experience. The challenges that the manufacturers give you are boring and sometimes counter-intuitive like when they (for some reason) want you to don't use a certain tyre type for example. The career mode is fun and challenging. Sometimes you are forced to loose certain races to save the car or you get shafted on the next race because you won't be able to fix the car in time which is both realistic and gives you a choice. Car brands are also different on how they treat you. For example it's very hard for you to get accepted by Hyundai (imho they have the best car) but for exchange they always want you get in the top 3 on every race. The team management is a bit confusing at first because every profession has a grade (from common to legendary) but it doesn't translate well in the game. Sometimes a common is much better then a legendary mechanic. I find historic races and extreme conditions to be a mixed bag. The latter is almost always to drive around a short distance in the rain at night with a damaged car. The former is a random car on a random track. Nothing historic here and it's just weird to do them in the middle of the season but occasionally they spice up the experience. Overall it is as much fun as the coveted Dirt games, but it's not flawless.
