If you have WRC on the PS2 then you'll want this game for your collection. Rally racing is done with 1 car on a road course, tarmac, snow & ice, gravel, etc. It's you and the clock. For those of you that like other cars on the course, this game helps you with that by putting ghost cars on the course for you with the names of the drivers above the cars. These cars will not effect your driving in any way. But it does help you with seeing what place your in instead of watching your time for each stage.
The graphics for this game are pretty good for the PSP.
You get a good selection of cars.
Ford Focus RS
Skoda Fabia
Peugeot 307
Mitsubishi Lancer 05
Subaru Imperza 05
Citroen Xsara
Your drivers are among the top in WRC. Armin Schwarz, Markko Martin, Petter Solberg, Sebastien Loeb. For Rally fans they will know who these drivers are, for those that don't, you can check out www.WRC.com or www.SWRT.com to learn more.
There are 16 different places that you will get to race, from the U.K. to Turkey, Mexico, Japan and Germany to name a few.
Each car in this game handles differently, even though they all sound the same. You'll find yourself racing the same track a few times over. Don't expect to pick this game up and start placing 1st in every race. This will take a little getting use to, even in the easy mode.
The cars take on damage and you will notice build up of things like dirt and mud and snow during a race.
Overall this is a good game. But what hurts it is the fact that there is now way to tweak your car before each race. There is no option to switch from MT to AT. Having MT for me I think would have made it easier to handle the cars around turns. This I feel is the only things that really hurt this game. Hopefully the next WRC game or any other Rally game coming out for the PSP will address these issuses.
