So here we go with some more rally action. WRC 2 is an officially licensed rally game, with more realistic controls, driving and damage. WRC 2 is the second in the WRC series on the 360, and the first that wasn't released in the US. So, are US rally fans missing out on anything? Well, to be quite honest, no. It's really difficult to actually pinpoint any differences between this and WRC 1. Yes, it does have a rewind function which makes it more accessible for the casual gamer. Apparently, there are some changes to the campaign, but I didn't notice them. Appealing to the casual gamer in some ways defies the point of WRC 2 though. WRC 1 was seemingly for more hardcore rally fans, with more realistic controls and racing. If you were interested in a more accessible (or better) rally game, surely you would buy dirt instead? In 2023 this game is no better or worse than WRC 1, but its lower because at least 1 was original. Buy Dirt 3 instead.
