WRC 10 Reviews
WRC 10 retains the basics of the series built over the years but does not offer any new changes in return.
The general presentation remains fairly dated, however, and the lack of depth and event variety don't allow it to compete with titles such as the DIRT franchise, which offers even derivates of rally such as rallycross or gymkhana. It's a fun and respectful title that deserves to hold the WRC license, but there are still things to iron out.
For the first time in the series, WRC 10 feels fully featured. It’s brimming with modes and ways to play, sure to make a fan out of anyone and give you more than enough replayability into next year. It’s a shame then that some of the bugs and issues from prior years have persisted into this year’s entry. There’s nothing egregious with the issues, but it’s rather surprising they haven’t been stamped out. The 50th Anniversary Mode is sure to be a favorite, and the highly-requested livery editor will satisfy long-time fans. This game captures the thrill of taking hairpin turns at high speeds like a pro, and drifting through snow with elegance. WRC 10 is authentic to the sport, something that’s not to be overlooked.
I can’t help but love witnessing the noticeable improvements in each yearly iteration of WRC, going from a mediocre rally title to what’s possibly the best franchise of the genre in the market nowadays. WRC 10 is its crown achievement, especially on next-gen consoles.
WRC 10 may not feel as big of leap forward as this franchise’s two previous outings but it is still one of the best rally video games in the market and the addition of the anniversary mode have made it a no-brainer choice for rally enthusiasts.

There’s a lot going for WRC10. It’s slick, in-depth and full of authenticity. That’ll appeal to fans of the genre who want to go deep into the endless tweaks and changes available. But it isn’t the best driving game out there and ultimately, that’s what holds this back from being a classic racer
All in all, WRC 10 is yet another solid entry in the series. It’s sad to see that it’s probably going to be one of the last ever, but props to KT Racing and Nacon for going the extra mile to make that goodbye go off with a bang as they do with this game. The historical racing is a joy to behold for sure, and the trademark franchise modes found in WRC 10 make it an extremely worthwhile pickup for rally fans and casual racers alike.
WRC 10 upholds the excellence of the franchise for the virtual racing world. There aren't drastic changes to its visual or audio aspects, but this actually means the quality standard continues to be high. Besides that, the classic tracks and historic challenges bring forth positive elements, though small ones, and add many hours of challenge and fun to the game's lifespan.

WRC10 will undoubtedly delight fans of the series or even Rallys. Many tracks, many modes, many cars in a game with exquisite gameplay. If you're not a fan but looking for a new adventure, WRC10 won't let you down!

A few issues with the visuals take the shine off of WRC 10 which is otherwise yet another authentic, enjoyable rally game from KT Racing. Not a vast amount has changed since WRC 9 but what new content that has been added, including the Anniversary Mode which celebrates 30 years of the sport, does just enough to make this a worthwhile annual iteration for the series.
I always thought of the official WRC video games as inferior to such classics as Colin McRae Rally or Richard Burns Rally. WRC 10, however, made me reconsider my opinion as I discovered how good this game is, offering the players realistic yet newbie-friendly driving physics, a ton of content, and fantastic tracks to drive through. There are some hiccoughs on the way, i.e. annoying pop-up, occasional glitches, or empty multiplayer lobbies, but overall WRC is a great rally game, even though it is not as good as the DiRT Rally series.

The changes are welcome and quite good, but they stay out of the game, that is, where the title suffers and practically with very little substance.

For quite a few years the rally genre was dominated by Codemasters and their Colin McRae series – and later Dirt/Dirt Rally. Throughout every console generation, there’s been a competitor for the rally crown and after a few years of trying, KT Racing finally nailed it last year with WRC 9 (check out our Xbox and Nintendo Switch reviews). This year, the developer is back with WRC 10. Not only does it improve on last year’s already stellar title, it also adds plenty more to the series.
WRC comes to the next-generation more polished than ever.

WRC 10 shines when it’s not trying to lure you in with a load of flashy bullshit. Instead, it’s best when it’s got you on the track, careering through chicanes or clinging on for dear life as you hoist yourself through a hairpin.
The gameplay is still solid with some improvements, yet there is still a little room for more. The 50th-anniversary content is a real treat and the cars handle so differently from their modern-day counterparts. The career is as in-depth as it was before, maybe a little more so. Overall, this is the best version of a WRC game to date. Last year I gave WRC 9 a Gold Award, but as WRC 10 has better puddles (among other things), it also gets a Thumb Culture Gold Award, just a higher version of it. KT Racing, just iron out those little niggles, and hopefully, it can be a Platinum Award next year.
This is close to a must-play for fans of rally racing games. However, it's not much different from WRC 9 and doesn't look next-gen.
It’s hard for me not to admit: KT Racing is certainly some of the leading experts in what they do. They are excellent at delivering memorable experiences, challenging races, and unparalleled attention to detail with tracks in WRC 10. The biggest complaint is that visual flaws do exist, Anniversary mode is excruciatingly painful to some, and it leads to some minor changes we hope get added in the future.
WRC 10 is the newest installment in the Rally Car game. It bolsters new tracks, cars and gameplay, but does it stack up to the competition, namely Dirt2.
