If you dive into EA WRC expecting Dirt Rally 3.0 you'll be sorely disappointed - which is actually a good thing. Let me explain.

If you expect it to control like Dirt Rally, you'll be disappointed to know that the cars prance to a more simcade controller friendly crowd. Which is good.

If you expected Dirt Rally career mode, which is none, you'll be disappointed to also learn that EA WRC does a much better job at a career mode than Dirt Rally. EA WRC not only offers team management all the way back from Junior WRC to WRC. Also it throws a nice builder feature.

If you expected Dirt Rally content, you'll be disappointed, because EA WRC simply has much more content and more tracks.

If you expected Dirt Rally graphics you'll be DEEPLY disappointed because really EA WRC looks ugly. There's no good thing to this, it's just bad.

Try to think of EA WRC as Collin McRae Rally 2005 for the PlayStation 2. Embrace the jankiness. Let the 2000s graphics looking ass captivate you.

Just put on some breakcore playlist, sip some Monster light and bask into its ugliness. But the gameplay, really, is legit.

Bom jogo de rally, Campanha poderia ser um pouco menos confusa para upar os carros. Pistas e graficos muito bons e boa variedade de carros

EA Sports WRC takes the class-leading feel of 2019’s Dirt Rally 2.0 and stuffs it into an officially licensed World Rally Championship experience, like a steel rod in Timo Rautiainen’s backside. Loose surface handling remains supreme, stages have been pumped up to 30 kilometre marathons, the audio is excellent, and the selection of modern and historical rally cars is achingly close to spot-on. However, just like a steel rod into your co-driver’s buttocks, there have also been some unwelcome, performance-related side effects and some serious lost position in the graphics race with the competition. Stuttering and tearing are common while racing on Xbox Series X, and the fidelity here falls well short of being a generational leap from Dirt Rally 2.0. With these technical shortfalls, combined with a lukewarm career mode and underdone customisation, EA Sports WRC feels like a great racing game trying to fight its way out of an unfinished one.
