Difficult to master even at easier settings, it's a racer that rewards patience and skill.Īnd none of this is lost in this Switch version – as long as you keep things docked. It's exhilarating stuff fast and exacting with cars that handle impressively differently from one another.
The car handling model in WRC 8 is serious simulator business and feels much less drift-oriented than is the case with many of its rally competitors you'll need to get to know courses intimately, pre-empting where your car needs to be on the road at any given time, lining yourself up in advance to blast through corners, over jumps and through chicanes. It should also be noted at this point that this Switch version arrives sans the split-screen multiplayer and eSports modes available on other platforms – not great when you consider it's exactly the same price as those more feature-rich and smoother-running versions of the game.
#WRC 8 OR DIRT RALLY 2 UPGRADE#
It's a thoroughly solo-focused affair that overhauls the usually spartan career mode – adding a bunch of team management aspects, R&D upgrade mechanics and an oh-so-fashionable XP skill tree – and delivers plenty of top-notch rally action on some supremely well-designed tracks, with a total of 100 stages in total spread over 14 impressively diverse locations.Īlongside the career mode there's Seasons – which rips all the team management aspects out of proceedings and throws you into a full rally season without interruption – and constantly-updated weekly challenges that see you earn XP as you battle to earn a top spot on the online leaderboards. Which is a real shame, because WRC 8 was greeted with some pretty positive reviews on its initial release in September and it's perhaps the strongest entry in the long-running series to date.
