The cars feel good and relatable to controller inputs, and there’s a definite link between the pressure you apply to the throttle and the spin up of the wheels. Let’s start with what’s important for a driving game, the handling – and fortunately it’s solid here. The World Rally Championship (run by the FIA) in its 2015 form is the main feature of WRC 5, and has you driving challenging courses in Finland, Australia, Mexico, Poland and Wales to name a few. Events take place over several days with the cars being setup for the next stage, and usually repaired, overnight.

The fastest team takes the stage win, and total times for all stages are added together to give the winner of the rally. Pairings of driver and co-driver navigate long off-road courses that challenge their ability to read the conditions and react to whatever the tracks present.

It's a shame that al those game-breaking problems became evident so quickly. I was so excited to play this game, I've bought it on day one. Inconsistent FPS, despite the computer you're playing. Some menus simply don't register your choices. Long loading times in car selection menus. How can I believe any user could give an 8, 9 or 10 to a rally game with these features: - No support for some of the most important wheels on market. It's sad to read so many reviews from the developers here and on Steam, when they should focus on fixing the MANY problems and bugs their game It's sad to read so many reviews from the developers here and on Steam, when they should focus on fixing the MANY problems and bugs their game has.
