WRC Powerslide is here to provide you with a truly unique arcade racing game that tries something new and very nearly nails the delivery. This game offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience its visuals and gameplay, that don’t look like anything else on the market. Jump into a single player campaign as you blast through a variety of tracks ranging from industrial parks, snow covered valleys, and South American deserts. Only one can be named the greatest of all time, and you must fight every step of the way to reach that lofty goal. If you are looking for a new kind of racing game, then this is the game for you. Let’s get into it.

Gameplay

This game handles like Dirt 4 mixed with Mario Kart 8. I know that sounds like a strange mix, but, trust me, it kind of works. You take control of your chosen rally car and blast through the stunning tracks at top speed, narrowly avoiding steep drops, other cars, and pesky powerups which can stop you dead in your tracks.

With a near bird’s eye view camera, you are looking down on the cars which provides a truly unique visual, while simultaneously allowing you greater view of the area surrounding your own vehicle. As much of the difficulty of the game is provided through the effectiveness of your enemies at getting in your way, the game is fair and fun about how it presents that challenge.

The game handles very well but only if you are using a controller. Trying to use a keyboard with this game will drive you mad. The cars all have a really satisfying weight to them which comes through when you are taking hard corners, when you bump into another car, or when you wind up flipping yours after hitting a bump in the road. Its great fun and looks amazing.

There is a list of powerups that you can get throughout which help you throw a wrench in the progress of other cars by striking them with lightning, or making it snow on their car, and such. But beware, they can also be used on you.

Visuals

The visuals in WRC Powerslide are nothing to look down on. Despite its age and its presentation, the game holds together really well and still looks great. The powerups sometimes look a little questionable, but the cars and the world all hold up to the test of time.

There is something special about the way the light reflects off the vehicles, the way the snow covers the land, or the dust is kicked up from the back wheels. I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to make it look good and feel good to play.

Soundtrack

I’ll be honest, the soundtrack to this title kind of slaps. It is exactly the kind of music you expect from this sort of game; grunge metal. Its silly and, critically it isn’t very good, but in the heat of the race it’s a brilliant accompaniment to the gameplay. Its fast paced with strong drums and guitar, making a surprisingly fitting soundtrack to this title.

8

A fun game that doesn’t try too hard to be something its not. If you like arcade racers, you’ll love this.

Pros

  • Great visuals
  • Excellent handling

Cons

  • You can’t toggle off the powerups without toggling off the collisions too which sucks.
