The game is WIP and so far has very little press, but I just found a demo on XBL, downloading as I speak. gonna check it out and see if it is worth any sort of attention.
yeah it's pretty dated and low res all around. everything is bland and although no big faults, don't have much breakthrough as well. (it does have some speed metal in the replay mode!)
tbh these days wrc isn't as good without Subaru, Mitsubishi, Lancia or Audi. Mostly Ford v Citroen
Unless any of them return I'm probably not going to play any WRC games
agreed, that wales rally of 1998 was pretty dramatic and now is always seeing Loeb win
Edit: Same with BTCC too, loved it in the 1990s and then the best manufactuers pulled out
For the record, Loeb got his ass handed to him in Japan. And he lost the first round. And two other rounds this season. Extraordinarily talented, yes. Invincible, hardly.
I think Ogier could one day unseat him. Shows a hell of a lot of promise.
I still don't get the LFS graphics hate... I think LFS's graphics are gorgeous, especially at BEW and SO. It looks so authentic, whereas everything else out there right now is all post-processed and glitzy and fake.
