WRC 6 Reviews
WRC 6 is a great addition to the series and is genuinely good fun, but despite its accessibility is still only likely to appeal to fans of the sport.
Whilst Dirt Rally is aimed at the drivers, WRC 6 is definitely for the fans. The game wants to bring the thrill, the sensation and the enjoyment of rallying to all of the fans of the sport regardless of their driving ability.
The sixth time is the charm, as WRC 6 finally nails the winning formula for a properly decent rally game that emphasises accessible fun over unforgiving precision. It’s not perfect, but it’s easily the best use of the official FIA World Rally Championship in many a year.
WRC 6 is one hell of a Rally game. The most authentic and entertaining WRC game to date
Whether you want WRC 6 to be a breezy arcade-like experience or a gruelling hardcore racer is up to you, and it’s all the better for it
WRC 6 is a massive step up from its predecessor, and I really enjoyed the game and will continue to play it over the coming months. The game does have its flaws in terms of graphics and the occasional lazy pace notes, but these do not out-weigh the enjoyment you get from playing it.
WRC 6 reminds me a lot of the PlayStation 2-era Evolution-developed WRC games; it’s an earnest attempt to capture the spirit of a niche motorsport series and, most importantly, it feels good to play thanks to a wide selection of tight-quarters race tracks, and decent handling. It might not hold a candle to Dirt Rally in its car selection or look and feel, but it’s not bad for developer Kylotonn’s sophomore effort on the series. If Milestone’s stint turned you off, as it did me, now could be a good time to get reacquainted.
The second best rally game on current-gen, after Dirt Rally. A straining game engine is its biggest issue, but accept its few shortcomings and you’ll find a fun and engrossing rally sim.
WRC 6 is a valiant effort from the team at Kylotonn Games, but when placed against the defining Dirt Rally, it comes up distinctly short. Whilst it is undeniably the best entry in the WRC series, there’s still plenty of work to be done for it to reach the top of the podium.
WRC 6 is a decent racing game, assuming you understand exactly what you’re getting into.
WRC 6 won't take the crown from Dirt Rally but represents a step up from WRC 5. It also boasts some advantages over its more popular rival as far as its number of stages and more proper career mode. Although Dirt has the advantage as far as technical and visual prowess, WRC 6 still has a place in the rally space thanks to its accessibility to newcomers and more casual players.
WRC 6 is a great step forward for the franchise and can be good fun at times, though the faults it contains mean that it doesn’t really put in a serious challenge to DIRT Rally for the console rallying crown. Nonetheless, there's enough enjoyment on offer to make it a decent alternative for those who are looking for something a bit less hardcore.
WRC 6 may be the rally racer you're looking for if you thought DiRT Rally was a bit too hardcore and you're unsure what DiRT 4 will bring this June. That said, this isn't a sport or series I'm familiar with or particularly enjoy, so it's hard for me to give it a firm recommendation either way.
WRC 6 makes a good step in the right direction, but it has a slight problem – Dirt Rally being around affects my recommendation of the game for people looking for an authentic take on the motorsport.
WRC 6 is every bit as deep as you want it to be. While driving takes some getting used to, and the career mode is a bit straightforward, racers looking for the perfect time will find a lot to like here.
WRC 6 offers a solid and perfectly respectable rally experience that has a more accessible first route into rally games for the uninitiated. A certain improvement on its predecessors, it sets out a new roadmap for how the titles should be going forward. Although shallow in parts - especially audio - there is still a lot of enjoyment to be had with fun handling and the mix of real courses, and 'based on real locations' special stages gives an authentic World Rally Championship experience. Ambitious eSports aspirations were perhaps a stage too early for this series, but there is definitely potential here and it will be worth keeping an eye on the next title to see if the team can iron out some of the wrinkles.
This is the best officially licensed WRC game in years, with plenty to offer the rally fan.
WRC 6 has a great variety in game modes, but it fails when with the control of the cars, offering an unrealistic -and boring- experience.

World Rally Championship 6 has some bright spots, including plenty of courses and types of vehicles to choose from. The negatives bring the overall product down below the positives, including bad frame-rate issues and questionable gameplay elements. If you are a massive fan of rally racing, you'll still enjoy this title. Everyone else should look elsewhere for their fix on racing.
WRC 6 is a game designed por real rally fans. The problem is that we have a title that lacks content and fun racing mechanics.
