Check out the video review of WRC 2: FIA World Rally Championship.

Super Special Stages and Group B are welcome additions; Solid car handling; Rally Academy is a good way to introduce novices to the sport

Many issues from previous game haven't been addressed; Poor environmental graphics; Road to WRC is almost completely unchanged; Majority of the stages are the same as last year's

Black Bean are back again with another entry into the WRC series, after  the previous outing was a little disappointing and didn't provide the authentic rally experience that the official licence would suggest.

There are not many pure rallying games these days; in fact until Milestone developed last year's WRC game, there hadn't been such a game for five years, with the last being WRC: Rally Evolved on the PS2 back in 2005.

Milestone is a developer who specialises in motorsports, having already released two titles in the genre this year: SBKX and Superstars V8 Next Challenge. Both games were perfectly playable, but suffered from production values and structure well behind the times, and this is sadly the case with the...

The racing itself is decent, if not quite as exciting as you'd hope it would be, and while it ticks all the basic WRC licence boxes, the overall production still feels a little threadbare.

I am a die hard WRC fan stuck here in the states. I have played the Dirt games but they just don't have enough actual rally courses in them. They keep going back to the stadium events, which are alright but they get old rather quick. This on the other hand... OUTSTANDING!

Overall, WRC: FIA World Rally Championship is a mediocre racing title. There's nothing in the game that hasn't been seen or done before within the genre, this is offset by the handling and official WRC support, making this more of a must purchase for the fully committed car rally fan.

Car handling is to a great standard; Official WRC support classes; Car modelling and detail is quite realistic

Long loading times; Not enough variety in the game; Lack of customisation options

is a game that shows promise but ultimately fails to deliver enough substance to be deemed a true sequel. The title continues the excellent vehicle handling of its 2010 predecessor and still offers a really solid and enjoyable racing experience.

I've started late on driving games what with the pressures of real life, but have got into them over the last year. Hence, I'm no expert, but I know a rotten game when I play one. After clocking Dirt, I went into town to look for Dirt 2 (I like playing games in sequence), but they didn't have it so...

Also could not wait for it to arrive and what a disappointment. Compared to all the other WRC, this is pants. Cars handling is truely unresponsive, reminds me of 1980's arcade game where you steer just left and right.
