I received my copy of WRC 4, and it is indeed a North American physical version. I must say I quite like the new career mode. It's very reminiscent of the V-Rally 3 career mode for PS2, a game I really enjoyed. The only thing I miss from WRC 3 is being able to make your own livery.

I'm playing through the Junior WRC right now, and I really like the handling. I have AI set to 8 and am able to win every rally so far by about 10 or so seconds, so a second or two per stage on average, so I could maybe try 9.
It would be nice to have a profile page where it keeps track of how many rallies and championships you've won. That seems to be a rather glaring omission.

Apart from WRC 1 and 2 on the PS2, they're all lame.
Get Dirt 2 and 3 instead, you won't regret it.

Your opinion.
I've found WRC4 to be a ton of fun compared to the 'bro-ness' of Dirt 2 and 3.Having said that, I do love the trailblazer races.

You might. Dirt 3's physics are way too easy and grippy, which is why I would only recommend dirt 2.

In that case, so are Grid Autosport's.
We mustn't compare these casual racing games to sims or real life driving. In their own right, they can be fun.

Nope, GAS isn't like that. It's not very realistic, but I like the physics. In dirt 3, pushing the car hard rarely ever means spinning out, and the brakes are ridiculously good and every car grips several times to the extent it should. GAS most certainly is not like this.

For sake of discussion, D3 is less realistic than GAS.. strictly talking tarmac car behavior.
How's that? Agreed?

I vastly prefer WRC3 and WRC4 over Dirt 3. I prefer the pure point to point rallying of the WRC games. The X Games gymkhana BS in Dirt completely turns me off. The physics are great too. I like the career mode format of WRC4 over WRC3, but it's still a bit too simplistic and repetitive in my view. Career mode reminds me of the one in V-Rally 3 for PS2. I'm a gamer that puts a high importance on an immersive career mode. But if you like pure rallying, I haven't played anything better.

Are you are doing it again, confusing WRC1 and 2 (by a different developer to this series) which also has a WRC 1 and WRC 2 which were on the PS3/360 and of course PC?

@TJ13 WRC 4 is miles better than the original Milestone WRC(1) game. Give it a go, if you like it, like the majority of us do, sweet, if you don't; no worries.
I would recommend it, especially if on sale. Guess what you can own and play and enjoy both the Dirt and WRC series. I do, and still play all 4 entries of Milestone, and all 3 of Codemasters, regularly.

I'm not so sure that the Vita version did that well, what with a more limited track list and such, it probably had less appeal. I only know one person who has it.
With the new title due out in three weeks, you are likely to have completely dead rooms anyway, at least that's classically the way these things have gone with those playing the WRC games.
I would offer to meet up, but I'm not even sure that the game is a cross-platform compatible one. Still, I hope someone shows up who has the Vita version.
