World Rally Championship is a rally driving game for the PlayStation 2. It is the first rallying game to be officially licensed by the FIA World Rally Championship and is based on the 2001 WRC season.
Features
WRC features 21 drivers representing 7 teams and all 14 venues from the season. Game modes feature quick rally, single rally, championship and time trial. Each car is made from around 8000 polygons.[1] There are also cheats that will make the game funnier (Helium Co-Driver, Psychedelic effects, Underwater view, No chassis and Low Gravity)
Teams and drivers
21 drivers and seven teams appear on the game. Although Citroen did not undertake a full season, they are featured on the game at all events and thus eligible to score team points in championship mode.
1Because Colin McRae had his own video game series at this time, Sony could not acquire the license for him to appear, so he appeared on the game under the title of "Ford Driver".
