"The OFFICIAL V-rally 3 post."

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!

Well, I have had it for a few days now, and despite it being hard to begin with I think it's very good.

I'm not too impressed with the graphics, I've seen better, and the physics is a bit iffy which annoys me, but it's a really good game. Will talk more about it later.

Oh, progress:

Season one, 1.6L FWD

Manfucatcurer: Volkswagen
Position: 4th

Season two, 1.6L FWD

Manufacturer: Fiat
Position: Unknown, target 2nd.

Update:

Season 1: VW POLO

finished 7th

Season 2: Ford Puma

finished 1st!!!

Season 3: Toyota Corolla 2.0L

no rallys raced target = 12


Thats right i managed to get into the 2.0l league now, damn hard to control those cars but i think i'm getting the hang of it. Should be a good season ahead.

Lol. I was gonna post asking for some help controlling the 2.0 litres. I got a contract with the corolla and i finished 1 rally out of 3 and that was in last place. Beggining to get the hang of it but the iffy physics are more annoying with the 2.0. I also unlocked a Lancer Evo5 and completed the saxo challenge. On the challenge menu i have seen a repsol escort. u can see it in the movie playing in the background.

i unlocked lancer evo 5. I have done up to the 206 2.0l challenge. With 2 litres dont always push down full pelt on x

My season update:

Season 2, Fiat, finished 3 rallies. Last one now, almost garaunteed 1st place.

Do I get 2.0L next?

Thanks..i'm begging to get there. And turbonutter u should get to the 2.0's if u win the championship.

cool Nat. I havnt started my 2.0l season yet. And by the way isnt the Lancer that we got Lancer Evo 6? I dont really care just thought it was :) . Check out my V Rally 3 review. There's a few mistakes like 'lancia' instead of 'lancer' and me forgetting the germany tracks but i thought it was an ok review.

Good review. The problems aren't really noticable. Also i think you could be right abouth the lancer. It's the Evo VI right? Yer thats Evo 6.

lol yer VI is 6. Are you on msn? my addy is grapo2001@hot....

Yer I am. Do you know how you unlock the other 4 bonus cars?
