This is an area that has taken a step backwards in comparison to the driver customisation of WRC 4 as there is no physical appearance of the driver with no customisation of car number or number plate, while a step forwards could have been to implement yourself, a friend or an object into the game by taking a picture via the PlayStation Camera.Ĭareer mode features 3 different formulas of rallying including Junior WRC, WRC 2 and WRC, although there is no inclusion of the WRC 3 category despite its inclusion in WRC 4. After the Sagama Special Stage, you will be able to select your preference of a semi-automatic or manual transmission with the tutorial ending by driving the same car through the Wedding Bells Special Stage of Kennards Hire Rally Australia in which you will learn how to approach changing a flat tyre and how much time it could potentially cost you when in the hunt for the fastest time.Ĭareer mode begins with some basic driver customisation which is restricted to your driver’s first name, surname and nationality, while lacking the preference of a male or female co-driver from WRC 5. The game begins with questions including if you are new to rally games and how often you play racing games to customise the experience around you followed by driving a Hyundai i20 WRC car around the Sagama Special Stage of Rally Italia Sardegna as an effective tutorial outlining the controls in order to get you settled into the handling and pace of the game as well as acknowledging pace notes. All of the teams from throughout the WRC, WRC 2 and Junior WRC categories are included such as Ford, Hyundai, Mini, Peugeot, Skoda, Total and Volkswagen with all of their respective cars with full bodywork liveries. There are dozens of professional drivers with their co-drivers including the multiple WRC champion Sebastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala, Kris Meeke, Thierry Neuville, Hayden Paddon, Mads Ostberg and many more besides. WRC 6 contains all of the official licenses for the 2016 season which comprises of stages based upon the 14 rally events situated in various locations around the world including: Monte Carlo Sweden Mexico Argentina Portugal Italy Poland Finland Germany the introduction of the all-new Rally of China France Spain Wales and Australia with each of the 14 rally events consisting of around 5 Special Stages and a Power Stage depending upon game mode as well as a Super Special Stage in some of the rally events that vary in length. The WRC series returns with Kylotonn Games on development duties for the second consecutive WRC game, but can WRC 6 build upon the foundations of WRC 5 and what previous developers Milestone had achieved through their four iterations on PS3 and Evolution Studios’ sublime efforts from their longstanding WRC series on PS2? Rally gaming continued its expansion in the 2000s with further Colin McRae Rally games releasing on PS2, while SEGA Rally finally made the leap to PS2 in 2006, alongside the introduction of varying approaches to rallying such as Rally Championship 2000 on PS1 and its 2002 PS2 sequel, EA Big’s arcade approach with Shox: Rally Reinvented on PS2, Pro Rally 2002 on PS2 and the precise simulation of Richard Burns Rally on PS2 in 2004. Both mainstays of rally gaming on PS1 continued into the new millennium as Colin McRae Rally 2.0 released on PS1 in 2000 and V-Rally 3 released on PS2 in 2002 for what was sadly the final game in the V-Rally series. Rally video games particularly came to prominence in the 1990s including the origins of the SEGA Rally series in the arcades in 1994 before porting to the SEGA Saturn in 1995, accompanied by the V-Rally series in 1997 with V-Rally 2 also launching for PS1 in 1999, while Codemasters released their first game in the Colin McRae Rally series. The World Driver’s Championship was only introduced in 1977 in which it was named as the FIA Cup for Rally Drivers until it was officially announced as the World Driver’s Championship from the 1979 season onwards. An earlier incarnation of WRC titled as the International Championship for Manufacturers began in 1970 and took place until 1972. WRC is the absolute pinnacle of rallying with the first-ever World Rally Championship season taking place across 13 rally events for the World Constructor’s Championship in 1973. WRC 6 is a rally simulation racing game available from retail stores and for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4.
