Welcome to my Blog, lovers of games and especially of the racing genre. Today I bring you another review and correction of a video game, which in this opportunity is the FIA World Rally Championship, being this the official game of the 2012 World Rally Championship season. It was developed by Milestone S.r.l. for the digital platforms PC, PS3 and X360 Vita, it was distributed in the simracing and gaming market by Namco Bandai Games Ubisoft. It was officially launched on October 12th 2012 for the above mentioned platforms. This is an excellent game of the racing genre, so much so that it is one of the best I have played, at least in my taste, due to its great gameplay, graphics and sounds, but I will talk about it later in the development of each of the aspects of this great game.


Within the game modes available in WRC 3, we have the Classic Mode which is subdivided into Single Stage, Single Rally, Super Special Stages (SSS), Championship, Race Mode. Another second mode is also available which is the Online, which is divided into Single Stage, Single Rally, Championship and Super Special Stages. In the Single mode, as its name indicates, it is only a single stage ride, which will determine the Event winner. As far as the Single Rally is concerned, this mode consists of running a complete rally, making the respective settings, both in terms of control, difficulty, graphics and sound. The Championship mode is the one in which the player must run each of the rallies of the 2012 World Rally Championship season, accumulate points and try to have the best possible results in order to keep the title of driver and team, and thus have a great reputation within the game.

Regarding the Online game mode is the same as the traditional mode, but the difference is that in the online we play with other people in the world, while in the traditional mode we compete with the Artificial Intelligence (AI). The important thing of the Multiplayer Mode and like many racing games, is that the users can form their own leagues, interact and have fun with their friends or any person in the world, through a game created with an Internet connection.

In the Graphic Appearance, the game is well done, however it cannot be compared to the WRC7 game. This game has excellent textures in the cars and the locations where the Rallies are held. You can see the particles jumping when braking or skidding the cars and the smoke when the surface being run is asphalt. With regard to the Sound, is one of the things I consider the best of the game, both the roar of the cars and the effect of sounds when the car skidding or braking to take the route or curves, also has the sound of the co-pilot who is indicating to the player how to take the curves, what speed should go, when to brake, in which all the above makes it fast, so you need the greatest concentration of the players.

The game has a great difficulty, however it has the normal signals as a line in the race, which tells us the speed in which we should go and the line we should draw. In addition, the behavior of the cars is very realistic compared to other games, where the developers implemented an excellent system of damage, which will force users to run in the best possible way, not to leave the track and collide with trees or other objects that are outside the track, it would cause damage to the body of the car or other element that makes the pilot or player lose time.

In conclusion, WRC 3 is a game that emulates the 2012 World Rally Championship season. The game has a great difficulty, an excellent damage system and therefore of Graphics, great sound effects and good indications of the co-pilot. It has two Game Modes, one classic and the other Online, which are subdivided into the same modes, but the classic is played against Artificial Intelligence, while the Online is played by real world people, which makes the game very attractive for many Simracing communities. For all the above, I highly recommend this great video game of the racing and rally genre.

As far as I'm concerned I give it a 9.4 out of 10, taking into account every detail I mentioned before. I don't give it a 10 because it has some details like all video games, which could be much better.
