V-Rally 4 Reviews
The game has been able to offer us a good game experience, but it lacks some simple additions that will make it a much better experience than it used to be.

I feel that fans of rally games and fans of the earlier games in the series are going to love this instalment. 2018 has seen quite a few excellent racing games come out and V-Rally 4 is without a doubt one of them. Kylotonn have some solid experience under their belt with racing games and it definitely shows in V-Rally 4. I'd highly recommend racing game fans and of course, rally game fans to pick this game up as it is not one to be missed.
V-Rally 4 is an arcade game of rallies, which has a wide variety of cars and circuits, in addition to the five modes of race, but which fails miserably in two of its most important facets for a game of these characteristics, the physical of cars in driving, and the graphic section.

018’s V-Rally 4 feels like it’s missing an identity; a marquee feature to make it stand out from Kylotonn’s other rally titles, and Codemasters excellent DiRT games. Though considering its absolutely abysmal car handling, even the strongest identity couldn’t save you from the disappointment that is V-Rally 4.
A game where there is fun to be had, but it quickly diminishes and you’re left with an experience that feels as if it should have been preserved in a previous generation.
Rally games have come a long way, but it seems V-Rally is still stuck in an era where most of their audience wasn't even born yet. The level design is something to behold, pity that it bites the dust when it comes to car handling.
This is a bizarre game. There’s very little redeeming qualities with V-Rally 4, but there’s still something about it that kept me coming back as quickly as I kept putting it down. V-Rally 4 does well to emulate what came before it, but does nothing to make the resurrection worth it, or the wait. The only thing consistent is the inconsistency. There’s far better rally games out there, but if you’ve played them all, I can see some enjoyment with V-Rally 4 after you take the time to learn its quirks and nuances that are honestly not worth the trouble.
V-Rally is back. But it's way behind the Dirt-Series. The career isn't very motivating, also the handling of the cars isn't very good. But V-Rally 4 has its moments. The races are fun, but not very realistic.

There are plenty of great moments to be had and the racing, at times, is first class. After such a long break it’s great to have V-Rally back. Hopefully we don’t have to wait as long for the next one.
V-Rally 4 isn't the triumphant return the series' fans were hoping for, but it's not irredeemable. Sadly, it's slightly above average at best and that's just not enough. A famous name isn't everything.

Kylotonn still didn't deliver a DiRt Rally Killer, however, it is a consistent development from the experience of the recent WRC parts. Although there are some things that take some getting used to, such as the oversensitivity of the controls and the gruesome soundtrack, the substance is very motivating and well-implemented. The various event types bring the necessary variety in the gameplay and thus provide the necessary long-term motivation. Also, the online modes make fun to compete in the races asynchronously against other players. In any case, V-Rally 4 is a successful continuation of the V-Rally series.

V-Rally 4 is suffering from a mid-life crisis and appears to be confused with what it wants to be. As an Arcade racer, there is too many adjustments and options you must go through in order to tweak your vehicle, as a simulator there isn’t enough depth and customisations to satisfy you. In terms of content, 22 regions with up to five tracks per region and a variety of weather and time options is a lot of content to keep you occupied for hours, not to mention it’s online and local split-screen multiplayer. However, until you obtain the best cars with all their upgrades, you’ll be spending more time getting accustomed to the slippy nature of each vehicle than actually enjoying yourself.
There was a time when V-Rally was the hottest rally game in town. This new attempt of pulling the nostalgic strings only works by its name’s sake, with a game without identity, poor in content, buggy and with strange physics that makes the gameplay inconsistent and unpredictable.

V-Rally had a lot of potential which it just didn't live up to.

On paper V-Rally 4 sounds like it should deliver everything you’d want for a rally racer. It has a lengthy single player, plenty of tracks and environments and a decent sized list of cars to tinker with in the garage. Unfortunately what the game does manage to get right is quickly dampened by some rather glaring and unforgivable flaws.
For 50 euros, this is a below-average title that is nowhere near the quality of its competitors. It offers average to below average graphics, a terrible driving model, unbalanced difficulty and a lot of frustration. Better reach for the Dirt series from Codemasters or WRC from the same studio as today's V-Rally 4. On the other hand, someone may be pleased with Split Screen, which does not compensate for the shortcomings of this game.

If V-Rally 4 had a more structured career, I really feel like it would have been a great game. As it is, however, it's fun until you feel like you're completing the same events over and over again.
V-Rally 4 tried to impress new players, but its inconsistent AI and boring career are just few of cons in this game.

While hours of racing can be enjoyed, this will eventually wear quite thin pretty fast.
V-Rally 4 might not be as significant as it was back when the last entry hit but for a rally racer it's still pretty good.
