In this division, there is only one car available, the Ford Fiesta, a great all-around beginner’s car. It gives players the option to start in an easier league, namely the Junior League. True to WRC tradition, this mode is filled to the brim with content, and they all start in the same way. In normal sessions, you just pick a car and the track and try to get the best time to finish first, but the real fun is to be had in the career mode. The gameplay itself is pretty straightforward. This tutorial leads you through all the new stuff that is in this year’s WRC title, such as hybrid powertrains and the ability to create your own team. The game starts with quite a nice tutorial to get you started and is perfect for newer players or those who came back after a long pause. WRC Generations is a rally racing game where you get to take many famous rally cars on a large number of real-life tracks. Your co-pilot is fully voiced and will still give you instructions or give remarks when it comes to your driving. This is at least one nice thing about the game, as there are no cutbacks here. All the cars sound amazing, and the various sound effects your car has on the road are well-represented. The various sound effects are the same, and this ensures that your driving experience is quite fun. One section that did not receive any cuts is the sound section. The damage models have also been toned back a bit to save on resources. The cars themselves do look a bit simplified and lack attention to detail, but the cockpit view still has working gauges, so that’s still very much appreciated. If you look at the screenshot below, it feels like you are driving in the desert. If you compare this to other platforms, then this port does not do them justice. At times you’re seemingly racing in completely empty landscapes. To make the game run this fast, it looks like the locations are dulled down. This time, however, the developers have ensured the game runs a stable 60 FPS while the Switch is docked and 30 FPS while playing in handheld mode. Both stories play out almost identically, but if you manage your own team, there is a bit more stress regarding the maintenance of your vehicle.Īll the previous Switch versions of WRC would run at only 30 FPS and if you are used to the usual 60 FPS this could feel choppy from time to time. ![]() Once approved for this rank, you can either opt for an existing WRC2 team or create your own WRC2 team from scratch. ![]() Just like in our regular review of WRC Generations the story commences in two categories, you either start as a WRC Junior which is the go-to for beginners, or you do a test run to see if you are fit enough to race in the WRC2 league. While the developers significantly improved the performance of the game in docked mode, it did come at a certain cost. After years of porting this masterpiece to the Switch, you would have thought that KT Racing would have learned a thing or two to get these ports working decently. We have already covered the other past Switch ports in the past, such as WRC 8, WRC 9, and WRC 10, which were always a big downgrade compared to the originals. Just like Christmas comes around every year, so does the Switch port for another WRC game.
