V-Rally 4 Reviews
Lacking the precision required to tantalize the more serious racing fan, but perhaps too much of a challenge for many, V-Rally 4 is packed to the brim with nice ideas and potential, but just as many annoyances. Sadly, in this competitive marketplace, it is stuck in a ditch. The strange layout of the career mode and iffy handling model do their very best to put a downer on things, but I really hope Kylotonn has the resources to build upon this effort and provide something that can take the fight to the very best racing games in the future.
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.
An unlikely revival that's spirited in its return to the genre's arcade roots, but that is uneven in its execution.
With so many great rally games already available, V-Rally 4's poor handling and inconsistent AI just can't compete with its competition. It should have stayed as a fondly-remembered retro series.
V-Rally 4 is an ambitious and diverse game, but it is ruined with a control that there is nowhere to catch it and a gameplay that deflates every hour we play it.

It's never that V-Rally 4 is actively bad, but the 16-year wait since V-Rally 3 is no way near worth it. No part of the overall experience surpasses the benchmarks set by more polished, mechanically complex, spectacular or enjoyable racing games from both the arcade and sim camps. Even compared to the universally disappointing Dirt 4, V-Rally 4 feels like it's missing more than a few tricks.
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.

V-Rally 4 is worst than the previous game developed by Kylotonn Studios. It mixes every competition inside the career mode, creating a lot of confusion in the player's mind. The graphics are outdated and driving system is inaccurate.

V-Rally 4 is a game worth experiencing and Kylotonn Games should be on every racing fan's radar after this release.
V-Rally 4 requires immense suffering just to eke a modicum of enjoyment from its frustrating, archaic game design. The few things it does right is not remotely worth the price of admission.
An unlikely sequel that ultimately struggles to find its place among today's line-up of more polished and more established alternatives.
Track design, off-road arcade driving and nice scenarios make V-Rally 4 a game worth trying; unfortunately, ansphalt races, career and Buggy/Rally Cross are much less enjoyable.

An arcade racing game with some spectacular moments, whose roots are guiltily stuck in the past.

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.
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.
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.

A classic PlayStation series returns for another worldwide run. Disappointing graphics and a lackluster (and often annoying) soundtrack detract from an otherwise fun and varied racing game. Fans of the series and fans of professional rallying will feel right at home, and even newcomers can get the hang of drifting with some work.
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.
