I believe that EA WRC could be considered the best rally game. The cars handle exceptionally well, and the variety of courses is also impressive. If it weren't for a few grievances, I would give this game a 5-star rating. My main complaint is that the game lacks optimization. Despite having a computer capable of running current titles at maximum settings, I sometimes struggle to maintain a consistent 30 fps, even with reduced settings. Additionally, there are unavoidable stutters during gameplay. Another issue is that there's a 25% chance of the game failing to connect to EA servers, requiring me to quit and try again. Lastly, I wish the rally school provided more comprehensive instruction. While it covers the basics, it would be beneficial to have a structured teaching system that focuses on different car types and includes practice areas for more advanced driving techniques.
Playing through this game made me reflect on my rose-tinted nostalgia and realize that perhaps Twisted Metal isn't as enjoyable as I remembered. It didn't help that the final boss presented an incredibly challenging difficulty spike that felt entirely unfair and left a particularly bitter taste in my mouth.

Wow this game sucked. While playing I had a terrible time. I considered giving it two stars for attempting the ratchet formula and resembling it. However I found myself hating this game more and more as I played. The guns are weak, enemies do too much damage, it is unbalanced. I don't know what that racing game was. Everything was frustrating. Don't play this game.
