Heres my V-rally 3 post! To start us off i will write info on the game including comparisons to WRC, Pros and Cons. Reply with your views on the game.
V-rally 3 (http://www.v-rally.com/)
Pros +
-Great graphics especially lightning effects.
-Damage that actually effects performance.
-Extensive career mode. Allows you to change teams, create a driver, ect. Each bit is seperated with cut scenes, pre race preperation sequences/new season drivers unvailments ect.
-Competitiors develope skills so the longer you progress the more change you can see in competitors. i.e. rookies improving ect.
-16 rally cars. Eight 1.6 Litre and eight 2.0 litre.
-Offers a good challenge.
-Handling is better than GT3 rally mode. Easing the car around the corner is satisfying.
-6 countries, 5 tracks for each. This is less than WRC but the work gone into making the tracks challenging and prettier is clearly evident.
Cons -
-Steep learning curve.
-Acceleration may seem a bit slow so losing to much speed can lead to frustration.
-Two player is simultanious rather than split screen.
-No actual liscenses drivers (although this can be a good thing so you can feel like your in your own fantasy rally career rather than replicating a real life counterpart).
-Co driver appears to have breathed in helium.
My overall score 9/10
WRC (http://www.evos.net/)
Pros +
-108 stages altogether in 14 different countries.
-All the licenced drivers and cars from the WRC. Except Mr McRae.
-Above average graphics with great draw distance.
-Textured Drivers faces.
-Big cliffs to roll over
Cons -
-Very twitchy handling.
-Tracks in same country dont vary a great deal.
-Damage is not ver evident.
-Weather effects aren't brilliant.
-No decent career mode.
-takes a while to get into it.
My overall score 7/10
So theres the pros and cons. But how do they vary with each other?
Graphics- Winner V-rally 3. The lighting effects...the beautifal lighting effects!
Gameplay- Winner V-rally 3. WRC is just too twitchy. Even if it wasn't it would take alot to beat V-rally 3's.
Sound- Winner WRC. Nice engine effects and decent co-drivers.
Realism- Winner both- Although V-rally has more realistic handling and a better career mode, WRC does bost all the licensing.
Overall- Winner V-rally 3. V-rally 3 is the more solid affair and does include a great career mode, fantastic graphics and better handling. WRC is good with decent licensing and lots of tracks but while V-rally 3 is recieving the winners trophy, WRC is limping sadly over the line.
Thanks for reading and i hope you agree. Please note i am basing this on the time i have had on both the games. (About 5 hours V-rally 3 and about 14 hours WRC)
Now lets start this conversation!

Lol, have you ever had the countdown "3... 2... 1... BLOODY FOG!" :-D :-D :-D
Oh, I have photos of a thoroughly screwed Corolla with a hooge tree-shaped dent in the side of it. Will post pictures later (all 51 of them!).

I'm kicking with the Corolla, and the Evo VI is my favourite rally car of all time.
Heh, i got one with Mitsubishi and i turned them down coz they stink and are bottom....until i joined Toyota....looks like it's 1.6l for me again :D
w00t, just passed a mid-season test with Mitsubishi, I *will* be signing with them...
Nah, it wasn't that, I know what it looks like.
I don't have any pics at the moment, but I will get some :-)
What V-Rally 3 needs is a viewer at the end of a stage to see how badly you've crippled your car ;-)

Cant say i have noticed that. I do know that in Africa you have a dust pipe thing on the front of the car. it couldn't have been that. Try fo some pictures though :D BTW do u have any v-rally pics?
Have you guys tried the challenges? You should, they add variety.
Also, I swear this is the most detailed game ever. iw as rallying in Africa in the 2.0L Corrola and I swear a branch got lodged in my bodywork. It was there, clear as day in the pits, a funning branch!
Unfortunately, I fell off the side of a cliff on the next stage so I couldn't get any pictures.

Well done on your GAD Mr.Chainsaw but its a shame you didn't win for your review as well.
i guess you have to finish first in 2.0l mode. Dunno how else. Complete challenge mode?
