Summary
WRC 5 is an enjoyable rally game that sets itself apart as an approachable alternative to its more serious competitors, but it lacks the depth and polish seasoned WRC fans expect from an officially licensed game. WRC 5 can safely be filed under “fun but flawed,” but it’s an encouraging start for a new generation of rally games nonetheless, and there’s plenty of scope for the series to evolve and improve in future iterations.
