WRC Rally Evolved
You would think that over the years, the successful series of Colin McRae has, at least in part, given the competition for a few significant points. WRC 4 for PlayStation 2, Rallisport Challenge 2 for Xbox Richard Burns Rally and the platform have been revealed in their own way, three very valid interpreters of off-road racing. E if the work on DICE and SCi are placed at the antipodes of realism with regard to the fund, WRC has tackled head on the way Colin good compromise between simulation and arcade (or between depth and immediacy, which is almost the same thing); succeeding, according to many, to undermine the king from his throne. In fact an absolute verdict on who the best is of little value here, especially in light of the fact that the evaluation of a model of leadership weigh very personal taste, and that the remainder of the WRC and Colin McRae games have very different .
traffic on the track
One of the characteristics of the rally, compared to almost all other areas, motor is that it runs alone against the clock, possibly on roads so narrow that one pass with difficulty. It is therefore understandable attempt to Evolution Studios to make the player feel less lonely as possible in this exciting challenge in such a short distance. Already
WRC 4 elements on the track had taken an unprecedented "physical", carefully differentiating the resistance by fences, signs, fences, guard rails and vegetation to the passage of cars. No more clumps of concrete or stone fixed, in short, a scenario but perhaps too "fragile" but more realistic than before. WRC Rally Evolved
With the desire to animate as much as possible le gare sfocia a tratti nell'eccesso, con effetti talvolta indesiderati. Animali selvatici in mezzo alla strada e catastrofi naturali saranno sì all'ordine del giorno nei rally del mondo reale, ma l'inserimento di questi elementi accanto ad altri molto meno realistici (dal "teletrasporto" in pista all'impossibilità di danneggiare seriamente le vetture) sembra un po' forzato. Basti ad esempio la frequenza con cui capita di superare un avversario in panne a bordo pista, talmente elevata da rendere l'imprevisto troppo prevedibile – per quanto sia divertente osservare i tanti modi in cui gli avversari virtuali decidono di schiantarsi contro un muro.
Tutto sommato piacevole, ma da calibrare un po' meglio, il commento del co-pilota non si merely states the right way but lets go on driving assessments (sometimes completely wrong), curses and encouragement. The first raises a bit 'of hilarity, but just go to any other rally game to understand the enormous progress has been made.
today takes the utilitarian approach to
WRC Rally Evolved is the most reassuring: among Championships, individual competitions and Rallycross (circuit racing in the company of three players), the inexperienced pilot has available a wide selection of cars and the type of layout with which to train. Note that the so-called "aid", or traction, braking and steering easier, are set to based on the maximum value, in the aim not to scare novices.
The categories are to start with the Super
But it is just off the track, especially with the aid disabled, the reality presents itself in all its complexity: on average very narrow streets dotted with pitfalls at every turn, gates means closed and bales of hay in the middle of the road, in addition to the aforementioned contingencies, paint a scenario hardly reassuring, especially if you have a few hundred horses under the hood that make it difficult to tame.
NO SMOKING
an opinion on the quality of a driving simulator, and its physical model, is inevitably full of subjectivity, even more so when the model in question is a compromise designed to satisfy as many players as possible. As always, it all depends on what expectations you have of a game. In the case of WRC Rally Evolved is plausible that some deepening expected, for example on issues of damages and the development, but precisely in these areas the trend is not what we expected.
The driving model itself is actually not much to say except that it is quite similar to the WRC 4, then much more difficult to master than the usual Colin McRae Rally, although it can boast a better sense of weight of the cars.
If the Codemasters game skid is just a matter of habit in the WRC Rally Evolved is the symbol of a slow process of empowerment: not just "wake up" in the middle of the curve and think "maybe it's to slow for find easily in skidding and miraculously unharmed, WRC forced to savor slowly the pleasure of having made it, bend after bend, while trees and fences miraculously parade route a few inches from the bumper.
If the cars seemed a little heavier, and at the same time, were less tough in the bumps, you might as well speak of "evolution" failed. Unfortunately, even the horrifying spasms of the co-pilot were able to make it look realistic against a tree in front of a 200 hour whose only damage was a cracked glass and a little 'smoke from the radiator.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Put bluntly: WRC Rally Evolved does not improve, and almost nothing of his predecessor, nevertheless, remains the rally game to have for PlayStation 2. Also on technical side, of course, there was little to be tested: the color palette remains the best of a driving game, maybe a little 'off' but terribly charming.
The merger between the different types of soil, water, vegetation and buildings is just perfect, thanks to the judicious use of fogging (which can not be present in a rally game), a stunning particle effects and lighting, in relation to hardware that drives everything. Absolutely convincing in-game sound and rumble of cars and changes in tone of voice of the navigator leave something 'forbidden. If
PlayStation 3 has not yet been submitted would be perhaps a little 'concerned about the inaction di aria fresca in questo WRC Rally Evolved ma è ragionevole pensare che sia l'ultimo WRC per il monolite nero ed è anche il migliore della serie. Accontentiamoci.
