WRC 4 FIA World Rally Championship

0,99 cent wären immerhin 1,9363 Deutsche Mark!
denkt mal drüber nach

Picked it up on sale for 99 cents, there's a bug when playing the game saying there's not enough free video memory. This only affects the menu's background video. Doesn't affect the gameplay itself. The game is arcade like, not simulation but it feels nice. As someone who's played all sorts of racing games at this point, this game is rather relaxing. It's just you against time. The game gets a bit repetitive but I feel like you'll get most of the gameplay through career mode as the 3 single player modes are mediocre at best with the repetition of cars just with different livery brands. I did notice this game lacks in cars. The almost 8 hours I've been putting onto the career mode I've only played with 2 cars. The boring Ford fiesta and a nice Mitsubishi lancer. This game for .99 cents even for a 10-5 dollar game it still holds up well regardless of the slightly outdated graphics that has that Xbox 360/PS3 early feel. The gameplay itself is fun with each track.

Not a bad racing arcade for a few nights. More arcade than sim, pretty simple controls and nice handling (I played on dualshock 4 with Steam input), nice visuals (considering release date).
There are, however, 2 major issues with this game:
- broken online achivements (servers are stopped);
- audio dissapears after 1-3 stages (see discussions/guides for possible fixes).

Overall, I'd recommend this game (especially considering the price), but only if you don't care about 100% completion. Thumbs down for broken achievements.

Absolute disaster, it feels like this game was made by amateurs. Actually, I see it's developed by Milestone SRL, I don't even know why I'm complaining, this is the worst studio, pretty much everything they make is a joke.

WRC 4 just like every other WRC = Physics are awful, external view handling is totally different than cockpit view handling, it's simply awful. Random changes in camera view could cost you an entire race especially if it suddenly changes to back view while you're taking a tight turn.
Copilot voice and indications not synced with the track, and you can't switch off the copilot voice. While you're free to choose your own name and nation, you can't choose to skip the avatar part and you're forced to choose one. All men, and only 12 lazy options.

Tried this after WRC 5,6,7,8,9, hoping that older titles would be different. Nope, same trash, different year.

The Game That Got Me Into Rally

Personal Opinion - 7/10

Honestly? it's the first ever WRC game I've played.. Actually, the first ever Rally game I've ever played. I had done some research and gathered information about rally. I did enjoy racing on tracks, but it was boring to play against bots/players because overtaking is not something that always works.

So I just decided to try and play only against my clock, just go over and over the same tracks just to improve my time.. which, honestly I still find enjoying, but then I found out Rally, WRC games (and a bunch of other rally games), and yeah, that's it.

I fell in love with rally, I had way more fun than what I had with Track Race Games. These constant variable of having different tracks, without the need to memorize them just felt amazing. I got so into rally that I even bought a G29 just to live the full experience... I'll just point out that, I do use only the Palettes behind the wheel, and no clutch. It's way too complicated for me, I just try to have fun on Rally for now!

I don't even know how to describe all the love that I'm proving for this sport now.. that said, I can't go past a 7/10 as final score... You see, the game has a lot of issues.. and the most annoying ones are:

1) The game is not really supported on 2k monitors (2560x1440p), so I had to play it windowed in 1080p. (Since I have to monitors, if you have one, you can still go fullscreen on a different resolution).

2) The game presents a bunch of bugs on the Steering Wheel, such as not allowing me to use my Brake pedal to brake into the game. It didn't detect my brake pedal at all. I had to remap braking to the clutch, which felt completely off..

3) The game has a very annoying bug, where, everytime you finish off a race, there's a frequent bug where the audio pops and completely cuts out, forcing a full game restart.. But that's not tied up to anything besides the game being broken, so you could have this bug after each race, if you get unlucky enough...

These issues are a bit frustrating.. especially the sound bug, which can really kill the immersion. But even despite them, I had a lot of fun going through the game. WRC4 strikes a great balance between being beginner friendly and giving you room to improve. It's approachable for newcomers, but still satisfying to master!

Even with the bugs, WRC 4 still managed to give me a great time. If you're just starting out with rally games, this one's honestly a solid entry point. Sure, it's a bit dated, and yeah, the online features are gone, but for what it offers, especially during a discount? It's more than worth the price. For around 1€, there's no reason not to give it a try and see if rally might become your new obsession too.

That's the reason why, I'd still reccomend giving it a shot, especially during sales, when the game drops around 1 euro.. As I mentioned above, it has its flaws, but lets be real, what games doesn't have their bugs or broken mechanics? And it's not even entirely said that you'll experience the same bugs I did..

i go vroom, then i splat

Loved it.

This i a really good rally game, game features single rally, or a 3 day rally, or a long championship which takes around 3 hours each, Multiplayer is dead so i wouldn't bother with the achievements.
The cars are very well built but the tracks isn't that good as in graphics, some parts are very pixelated,
The sound quality is great except on a track where my car didn't have an engine sound, the only sound i hear was the turbo, i thought i was driving a Tesla lol.

i bought this game at $1.50, on special so its well worth the price.

i do recommend if you really love rally games

7/10

its aight 4

WRC 4 delivered a authentic rally experience, hitting the main elements that make the genre one of my favourites. It has a limited weather system to be fair, but detailed cars along with their respective handling make up for it. The career mode is shallow, offering a limited progression system as you climb the ranks of rally racing. While the visuals are a bit dated, the gameplay remains tight, and the sense of speed on the licensed tracks keep the adrenaline pumping.

A word of caution—racing in Sweden is less about speed and more about mastering the art of not becoming an expensive snowplow.

Horrible experience, fun game. obsolete, do not buy

Great

Would NOT recommend, game doesn't even work, was not able to do anything.
Loaded into a game, tried EVERY button on my keyboard, steering wheel, and controller, NOTHING worked.
Not even a controls setting tab.

very fun game, only issue is you hit one small rock at the front of your car and your car feels like it needs to do a 180 and ruin your run

imo this is the best rally game ever made if you are down to play career mode for chilling with controller, just perfect for it

I picked up the game at a low price, thinking it was just another title on sale. I was pleasantly surprised; it turned out to be a fantastic game! It strikes the perfect balance—not too challenging, yet not too simple, either.

It's a solid rally game that, while not a full simulation, serves as an excellent introduction for newcomers to the rally genre. The gameplay is very accessible and offers a fun, arcade-like experience.

On the graphics side, I can't say it has aged particularly well; some edges look a bit rough these days. Still, the game features stunning environments, impressive damage effects, and a delightful driving experience.

All in all, if you can find it at a bargain price, it's definitely worth a try!

Performance isn't quite great, and it doesn't help that with in-game vsync, the framerate is capped to 30. To add to the slowness, the loading screens are all very long. The game crashes frequently as well. On my first boot, the game had crashed. Other than the performance issues, there isn't much interesting to say about the game. The music kinda sucks? I don't like the sounds too much compared to KT's WRC games. That's about it.

Samir, you're breaking the car

First off, i didn't play for 6 hours. I purchased this game to relive some nostalgia and 6 minutes in I realized my current wheel and pedal combo was not compatible so I started the refund process and uninstalled through steam. Return to my computer 6 hours later and steam thought the game had been running the whole time even though it wasn't even installed. Lol. Miss this gem! I live in the states and had to order a copy for ps3 from the UK years ago to play it and it reignited my passion for rally racing, real bummer I can't play it now.

In game audio issues.

Good

WOOOO BABY god i love driving like I'm in group b

Very addictive game. I would HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of motorsport and rallying in general.

Controls are easy.

Worth every penny.

Please add sex with Big Tiddy Goth Chicks

Doesn't close propperly, steam thinks it's open and you have to close it in the task manager

good game

I've been playing WRC for the past 3 years or so and this game is probably the worst in the series. Back in the day it was probably a decent game, but for today's standard it's very far away for being even remotely playable.
My biggest problem with the game is not in the graphics though the game looks outdated for 2013, but overall driving experience where cars are either rigid or in an uncontrollable mess. Some stages are extremely hard and narrow to navigate, and some are insanely wide and feel like not much effort has been put into them (Argentina??) giving this game a kick in their integrity balls because you basically never know what you're running into. Whoever said that Finland Rally design was even remotely acceptable in their design department should be fired without a notice. I'll probably finish the entire campaign and move on to WRC 5 hoping that is somewhat better than this and forget I ever played this before.

I rate it 4/10, for today's standard it's just not it.

Гра - одне задоволення! Логічне меню, захоплююча кар'єра. Якість графіки (на 2013 рік) чудова. Онлайну зараз немає, але для цього є WRC 7+. Рекомендую!

P.S.
Мультиплеєр RakNet не працює (зареєструватися не можливо). Про це має бути написано в описі гри - гравці мають знати ЩО купують. Головне, що саме по цій причині - на початку гри, після всіх заставок, виникає затримка на 1 хвилину - зєявляється вікно підключення до RakNet - гра намагається отримати дані з RakNet.

Rally d'Italia-Sardegna is Best Waifu

even though this game is more than 10 years old, its definitely better than Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo

7.5/10 would recommend BUT buy it when its on discount

I got first place in World Rally Championship's career mode at the minimum difficulty comfortably but it took 13 hours. The graphics are acceptable for the car and roads, visual details of NPCs - (spectators & racing staff) is similar to games from 2003 instead of 2013, water effects are poor. Game takes an extra 1 minute to load every time because it tries to go online which fails. The game might be playable for racing (driving) game enthusiasts who have already played all popular racing (driving) games.

Recomended Game

Great blend of sim and arcade racing styles. Cars handle well, wide variety of ways to play. Having a button in the menu to play a random stage with a random car is AMAZING for if you just want a quick game, with Rally Mode and Career Mode providing a more in-depth experience for longer play sessions.

Only issue is the loading time on launch, but gameplay is well worth it, so just grab a snack while you wait.

Definitely worth the low price of entry. one of the better racing games on steam overall.

im sorry for late review comment this game was a good rally game i like it i recommend u guys to buy this one if your computer is low end this very familiar for low end pc hope you guys enjoy too!

A pretty chill and fun WRC game. Can get a bit long in the later section when you enter the WRC group coz of the number of rallies, but..... it was a fun experience overall.

nice

I can't have my own picture, I don't like having a co-pilote it's anoying, I always come 2nd no matter what I do.

On full performance it eats a more CPU and GPU than MSFS2020 lol. Sound cuts out after each stage so it needs restarting for each one. But for an arcade sim the weight and feel is pretty good and the graphics are fine. Bought it for the price of a small coffee so no complaints.

As soon as you install the game, make sure to read the discussions and apply fixes for sound and possible crashes on your system, as well as fixing up possible forever loadings.
After that, its a pretty bloody fun game :)

Use NVIDIA Control Panel to disable V-Sync and cap framerate to 59, sound will be normal

good game

Great game after a few simple fixes
