The rallies are the bread and butter of the career aspect and take a lot of patience and due diligence from you. You can enter in rallies, historic races, hazardous races, training, resting your team, and so on. The schedule is broken into a season with each activity you choose to take place in a week’s time slot. I would just trust that my co-driver had me covered when I heard them say them.Įvents in career mode vary depending on the week. But as I played I became so familiar with the callouts that I didn’t even need to look at the top of the screen to see the notes. Aside from the obvious ones like left and right directions of course. At first, it was confusing figuring out what their callouts meant. Being that there’s no map like in other racing games, you’re really depending on your co-driver to deliver the best directions possible. It seemed interesting to me that racers have a co-drivers in the car with them calling out pace notes. My knowledge of what rallying is was scarce before my time with the game. If you mess up in this game, you might as well start the event over. It isn’t a Need For Speed game in the fact that if you miss a turn you can still come back. The game is really harsh from the beginning with no signs of letting up on you. Crashing and bashing into obstacles won’t just damage the cosmetic aspects of your racer but the internals necessary to getting through each course and avoiding a DNF (did not finish). Cars are weighty to give you some challenge in perfecting your control over each vehicle you get behind the wheel of. This is a title that has been meticulously created to bring you a true rally simulation. WRC 9 is a racing sim with an extraordinary amount of depth within it. It does a fantastic job of having help options on the screen at all times too.
#Wrc 9 pacenotes series
Like I said above, I wasn’t much a fan of the series due to my rough time with the 6th entry’s lack of help given to the player. I appreciated this being implemented in the game from the start. From there, you’re able to adjust the difficulty and begin your racing career. The game starts by having you run a couple of tests to see how you handle the game’s mechanics.
