But start taking risks and employing the 'Scandinavian flick' and you’ll soon have a broad smile on your face. You’ll always be second-guessing the car’s behaviour because it feels awkward and cumbersome at low speed. Play the game cautiously and it’s not much fun at all. From the slippery asphalt of the Monte Carlo Rally to the Finnish street stages that were patently designed by a sadist, the game is all about finding a rhythm and pushing the vehicle into doing things normal drivers will never experience.
It’s an impressively authentic recreation of the WRC series and its two feeder championships, and you can work your way through them all in the fun, compulsively playable Career Mode. But hey - that’s still pretty damn good, and since it’s certainly more accessible for newcomers, it’s still worthy of your attention. Dirt outdoes it so markedly in so many areas - environmental detail, motion fluidity, sensation of weight and subtlety of control - there’s no question WRC 6 instantly debuts as ‘only’ the second best rally game available for current-gen consoles. Let’s be upfront about this: WRC 6 is a good rally game, but would be a lot more impressive if Dirt Rally didn’t exist.
