This entry in the long-running rally series has fully embraced the arcade style of racing, and many of the best aspects of that are here, with big jumps, boisterous rivals and a tremendous sense of speed. The career mode isn’t as varied as Codemasters would like you to believe, as many of the event types are simply standard races on different terrain, but the actual racing is entertaining enough to sustain it and the structure is considered – race goals ensure that you have to do more than simply win to progress, and the branching event unlocks ensure that you’ll rarely be stuck. Playgrounds and online racing will provide long term value, too. Unfortunately we encountered a few bugs, which dragged the experience down a bit.
