I've been a huge rally game fan since the days of CMR 2.0 on the psx. I was really into the WRC games for PS2 developed by Evolution Studios. I have really enjoyed Dirt 1, 2, and 3 but they are seriously lacking some very important elements that I want in a rally game.

WRC 2 gives me all of those elements, well mostly. There are tons of stages, and they are very well laid out with a ton of different surfaces. They could be a bit longer, but that's really my only gripe. The physics feel great, plenty of good feedback (Fantatec CSR Wheel/ PS3) and you can definitely feel the different road surfaces below you in the wheel. The damper jumps up on tarmac for instance, and when you're on snow, you sure do feel it! There are also a ton of real world classes and cars from all classes of rally. I have only completed 10% of the career mode but I have driven a few different types of vehicles: Debut class, S2000, R2, Production class. I have even run a few of the 2011 WRC cars in the arcade mode. The cars feel so different, for instance, the Debut class cars have tons of understeer and if you stomp the gas out of a corner you will go wide every time, while the S2000 and WRC class vehicles can pull awesome four wheel drifts with careful throttle management around a corner.

Each car has a ton of customization options as well, I found myself changing the brake bias closer to the rear on a lot of the R2 and Debut cars to get it to oversteer into a corner so the understeer would compensate automatically.

I love this game. I have read a ton of bad reviews about it, saying that its too arcadey and then in the same sentence yammering on about how Dirt 3 blows it out of the water. Dirt 3 is a great game, but if one is more arcadey than the other, it is definitely dirt 3. WRC 2 requires finesse and patience.

If things like narrow, tricky stages, tons of environments and road surfaces, plenty of car classes and teams, great physics, and a modest, professional style "non EXtREME" interface are the things you find most important in a Rally game...THIS IS THE ONE TO GET!

If you are like me you love sim racing games. I particularly love rally racing games. Up to this point the pinnacle of the genre has been the Colin McRae/Dirt series from Codemasters. Sadly that company has concentrated on making arcade experiences. So this is why I bought WRC 2. The game not only gives you extensive stages to race but each stage has its own identity so it feels fresh and not repetitive. There is also the race team owner RPG element of managing your cars and team personnel. If I am being perfectly honest the only part of the game that could use improvement is the sound. Some cars especially the early ones do not meet the current standards of the racing genre. But don't let that deter you. If you've been waiting for a good rally racing sim you should give WRC 2 a try.

I am no fan of the later versions of DiRT that focus more on stunt driving than rallying. This has a fun progression system to the Pros that allows you to own your team. This does play more like the original Colin McCrae games from PS1 as far as car control goes.

Its challenging and there is a lot pressure that makes you feel like you accomplished something. Its a great addition to any console gamer who likes racing games. Its a sleeper.
