Does anyone here enjoy rally racing?

I just noticed that WRC 4 came out on Steam today, and it's the first of the WRC games to actually appear on Steam. Has a launch discount of 10% off.

If you want it even cheaper, you can grab it from GMG for 25% off using code GMG25-3P6V5-3Q850.

Reviews appear to be pretty good (in the 4/5 range), and it's supposedly a decent improvement over the previous titles. Vehicle handling isn't 100% realistic but it's still pretty meaty. Graphics aren't amazing either, but that's par for the course for WRC.

The important thing here is that this game focuses purely on rally, only rally, and nothing but rally. There's a variety of nice long courses to burn your tires on. I figured since the DiRT series has gone downhill and there aren't any other good rally games being made, people might be interested in this. Those who loved Richard Burns Rally might not find it perfect but I think it's worth checking out anyway.

For $30 I'll probably pick it up. I do love me some rally. Anyone else?

Thanks for the heads up. It's my favorite type of racing game, really enjoy Mobil 1 Rally and Colin McRae in the past. I don't like street drifting, but drifting thru corners in a rally dirt course is pure fun. I'm going to check this out.

The best kind of racing.

Any hope it is anywhere close to the feel of Richard Burns Rally?

Rally Racing is ballsy racing.

Xpand Rally
DiRT 1
WRC 2010

They were all pretty good.

I like this game alot. A pretty good balance of sim/arcade. All rally, not that silly gymkhana stuff from the last few Dirt games. Here is a run I did with ShadowPlay just last night
