![]() ![]() Podium finishes not only keep the team happy but also brings in cash, which is needed for the new management aspects of the game. You begin by selecting your team and then have to prove your worth to them by winning races and keeping everyone happy. One of the biggest new additions to the franchise is the in-depth career mode, and it is certainly worth a closer look. These include 50 teams, 14 rallies, and 100 special stages from the 2019 season. Since WRC 8 is the official simulation of the World Rally Championship, it comes with all the benefits that you would expect. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer mode was not yet available at the time of writing this review. It doesn’t end there either as you also have access to weekly challenges as well as a split-screen multiplayer mode. Along with the aforementioned game modes, WRC 8 also offers a quickplay mode for some instant racing action, a Season Mode, which is like the career mode without the management aspects, and a “Test” area for driving around freely while you adjust your car setup. This game also comes with a brand new hazard for the series in the form of the weather, which is now much more than just a visual effect and can seriously impact everything from visibility to handling. These challenges will come from your car, which you will have to adjust to perfection as well as the tracks, which can be death traps if you don’t pay attention to the directions being rattled off by your navigator. Simulation is the name of the game in WRC 8, so on everything apart from the easiest modes and settings, you can expect to be challenged. The latter features the ability to perform training exercises on a closed track, which will spare you the humiliation of careening straight off a cliff edge as we did during our first rally event. WRC 8 offers a variety of game modes, so you can choose whether you want to jump straight in at the deep end with the new career mode or ease yourself into things with the training mode. In addition, it comes packed with brand new additions that are sure to please any self-respecting rally fan. The result is a game that not only looks better than previous entries in the franchise but more importantly, plays better. Thankfully, these promises were not just empty marketing speak either as the developers of WRC 8 has made good use of the extra time to improve the game. However, only one game holds the official license and for its triumphant return after a year of absence, it promised a lot of brand new features. ![]() Just as with the actual WRC championship, competition is fierce when it comes to the digital simulations of the sport. ![]()
