Taste the physical extremes of rally driving and battle your way past your opponents in grueling multi-car wheel-to-wheel racing. Prepare for the unexpected as driver and co-driver negotiate on-track dangers - evade the wreckage of rival cars, navigate through flooded stages, and dodge crumbling walls and tumbling rocks. More cars than ever before from rally's past, present and future are brought to life in realistically interactive surroundings - drive over 40 awesome vehicles through rivers, raging fires, dense smoke and debris strewn terrain. New to the series is a 16-player online feature, as well as 4-player offline play.

General Features Include:

• Unpredictability is the name of the game as you race across the world's most challenging terrains
• Up to eight cars on the same track, at the same time in the on-line multi-car mode
• New damage system means collisions are more satisfying as debris is strewn from the car
• Vastly improved co-driver signals

Evolution Studios provides rally fans with something to cheer about now the season is drawing to a close. Here in its fourth iteration, World Rally Championship 4 reaches its finest hour. Evo Studios clearly has a real grasp of the PlayStation 2 hardware and seems capable of squeezing more performance out of the machine than any other developer of rally games. But let's start at the beginning.

WRC4 is the official game of the 2004 World Rally Championship. In practice that means all the real cars, drivers and events of the 2004 season. If you really want to drive that Peugeot 307 WRC then this is the only place to do so. While other rally games lazily provide only a selection of the events in the real championship, WRC4 gives you the whole set of 16 events, from the season opener in Monaco to the final event in Australia.

Evo Studios third rally game is there best yet; it's packed with great graphics, engaging gameplay and a wealth of information. So, without further ado, lets get stuck in to the action.

The stages themselves are blooming gorgeous. The WRC method of using satellite data to realistic topography has always looked good, but in WRC3 Evo Studios has perfected the process. While the two previous games pasted a road along some satellite data then added some objects – there was often a feeling of unreality in the stages, perhaps because they were a little sparse. Here the tracksides are packed with buildings, trees, quarries, logs, ski lifts, windmills etc. The stages often pass through towns or construction sites and the details are always appropriate and very attractive.
