For those who don’t know, WRC 9, also known as WRC 9: World Rally Championship, is the official racing video game of the 2020 World Rally Championship.
While Codemasters’ DiRT Rally 2.0 has always unofficially been titled “the top dog in racing games”, the latest WRC title is arguable on a par with its competitor. Heck, it might even be a candidate for the racing game of the year in 2020.
Here is your chance to win a copy of the game on PlayStation 4 and get behind the wheel of one of the exciting racers out there.
WRC is the leading off-road simulation franchise. It returns with even more realistic gameplay and more content than ever: 3 new rallies, 35 new special stages, creation of your own custom championships and completely redesigned engine sounds.

The environments and stage design are something to behold, especially during adverse weather and during night races

The biggest let-down in WRC 9, however, is that it tends to crash during certain races while playing through Career Mode.

Each race time differs, with some races being quite quick and some lasting around 10 to 15 minutes long, but, that may also be due to my bad driving.
To my surprise, I won a few of my races, even though it was quite a challenge to stay on course around the slippery bends and narrow pathways. Just one miscalculated move and you could end up off the track or with your car totalled.
On the other hand, the overall audio presentation of WRC 9 leaves much to be desired. The sound from the engines are decent enough but the rest of the audio and music just comes across as generic.
