#Wrc 10 review ps5 series#

Naturally, rally nerds are going to get the most out of this feature, and if the thought of driving round the 1974 Sanremo track or taking on part of the 1992 New Zealand rally has you dribbling in your driving overalls, you’re in for an absolute treat here.

#Wrc 10 review ps5 series#

As well as the return of the in-depth career mode (which has barely changed much) there’s also a brand new mode celebrating the 50th anniversary of the World Rally Championship, which lets you take on a series of classic courses from different key years in the sport’s history. If you can put up with a game whose environments are almost always grossly underwhelming, there’s actually a lot more on offer here than last year’s game, which itself was already pretty stacked with content. Not only is the frame rate rougher than a cheese grater made of sandpaper, it’s also hard to concentrate on a crucial, lengthy run when trees and other scenery are appearing 10 feet in front of you as if there’s a glitch in the Matrix and it’s constantly trying to catch up with you. In docked mode it just about passes for acceptable, but play the game in handheld mode and the graphical issues are so severe that they provide a huge distraction while driving. We’d need to spend a lot more time running comparisons to say this definitively, but based on our own brief tests that certainly seems to be the case. Perhaps the graphical detail was dialled back even further in an attempt to improve performance, but whatever the reason there does appear to be a visual downgrade here. Quite why this is the case isn’t really clear. Sure enough, we re-downloaded WRC 9 and captured some screens from that, then matched the car, track, turn and weather in WRC 10, and in the handful of situations we tested, WRC 10 looks noticeably worse than its already ugly predecessor.
