This installation includes three new rally locations (Kenya, Japan, and New Zealand) along with 15 classic “landmark vehicles” from WCR history to choose from and over 100 special stages to be tackled. The game has been endorsed by some of the world’s top drivers as being the most in-depth rally game on the market. I cannot in good faith recommend the Switch edition of this game however.WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship, also known as WRC 9, is an off-road simulated racing video game. You can tell that the developers put a lot of thought and care into the game. There is something to be said about how full the game is. To be precise you need the game to feel snappy. Simulation games are fine in my eyes, but for games like those you need precision. I love racing games, but found myself having a miserable time with this game. Expecting a player to buy an optional $80 controller is ridiculous. The entire time I couldn’t help but think that the developers didn’t make this port with the joycons in mind. Mix that with snow or rain on the ground, the unresponsive feeling, and the sub-optimal framerate for a racing game and you are in for a very, very bad time. Good luck doing those very sharp turns without just crashing. If you turn just slightly too much, you can and will spin out. There’s a fidgety feeling that seems to cover the entire game. A not stable framerate isn’t just the culprit to this issue, but also adds onto it. In addition to that, the game never quite has a responsive feel to it, you’ll swear you press a direction, only for it to happen a second later. Hope you don’t like driving in the rain at night. This isn’t a solid 30fps either as the game constantly dips, ESPECIALLY in acclimate weather. I’d be able to excuse the lower graphics if it ran well, but it doesn’t. On top of that, the game doesn’t even run at 60fps, but caps at 30fps. The environment at times looks like a low quality PS2 game, not something that should be on a current game console. Everything that isn’t the car looks awful. That said, majority of the options are going to fly over many players heads, including mine. As a filthy American, I can change the KM/h to MPH instead as well. A personal favorite is changing the language of your crewmate that gives you directions and warnings, despite the fact that it effectively makes it useless if you don’t know the language in question. There’s a lot to keep you busy.Įven personal options are pretty indepth. Weather can even be chosen for each course, or just make it dynamic. There’s also plenty of courses to drive on from a variety of countries. You’ll have dozens and dozens of options for your vehicle, of which there are over a dozen. You’ll handle your scheduling, the crew, a quite large skill tree. You can definitely tell that the developers put time and care into thiss. In a racing game, regardless of what kind it is, the cars should be a priority and WRC9 is on point with that. Lets start with a few things I find good, or personally enjoy. If you need to play the game, play it elsewhere. It’s not a good fit and the console doesn’t do justice to this game. I hate to say things like this, but WRC9 probably shouldn’t be on the Switch. WRC 9 is an unfortunate case for the Switch.
