A must-have for WRC fans, offering a competent rally experience with a focus on authentic WRC content.
The game features a variety of modes including career, single player, and multiplayer, allowing for diverse gameplay experiences.
The driving mechanics are closer to a simulation, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience for players who enjoy realistic rally racing.

The graphics are considered subpar, with many players noting that they lack the quality seen in competing titles like DiRT.
The damage system is not realistic or punishing enough, allowing players to finish stages despite significant vehicle damage.
The game may feel repetitive and lacks the excitement and variety found in other racing games, making it less appealing to non-WRC fans.

The graphics in WRC are a mixed bag; while car models are well-rendered, other elements like windows and special effects fall short. Additionally, the graphics engine struggles with rendering distant objects, leading to an overall experience that some users find disappointing, especially when compared to the console version.
- “WRC has a good amount of rally content for those who can get past the mediocre menu system and graphics.”
- “The graphics engine seems unable to draw objects in 3D very far into the distance, even on very high-end computers.”
- “Inconsistent production values, boring gameplay, no tutorial for newcomers, bad graphics, and too much content stripped from the console version.”

The optimization aspect of the game features frequent and colorful commentary from the co-pilot regarding performance during stage splits, which some players may find repetitive and potentially annoying.
- “The co-pilot's performance updates after stage splits, such as 'they can't see us for dust' and 'we moved up a few places', add a colorful touch to the experience, although they might become repetitive for some players.”
- “The optimization of the game's mechanics allows for a smoother gameplay experience, making it easier to focus on strategy and performance.”
- “I appreciate how the game encourages players to fine-tune their approach, with various optimization options that enhance both speed and efficiency.”
- “The constant reminders from the co-pilot after stage splits, like 'they can't see us for dust' and 'we are losing our lead', can become quite repetitive and annoying over time.”
- “The optimization in this game feels lacking, as the performance feedback from the co-pilot is more distracting than helpful.”
- “While the co-pilot's comments add some flavor, they often detract from the experience due to their frequency and lack of variety.”
