Meh!

I want this game to be so good, but watching them vids dosnt give me much hope!

I hate the co-driver, the shadows off the car look extremely wrong and the stages are still extreamly wide with open hairpins that no way need the handbrake.

The first comments from different forums aren't so good.
Actually they are bad, pretty bad. Milestone had said they are building the game from scratch
but they are refreshing the 2010 game Instead. The addition of 4 new countries + superspecials aren't saving them.
I also wanted this game to be great so badly. I am afraid this one will be a total catastrophy for their reputation and the series.

Hope they prove me wrong...

I don't think everyone should lose heart over this. This just follows BlackBeans game strategies. I've seen it with the SBK series and I'm sure the WRC series will be the same, they slowly sneak up on it. Each year the game gets a little bit more refined and better. Maybe skip buying this one and buy the 2012 version, but they will get better. I've also found that they improve in things people don't talk about. I remember the first of the SBK games I got - '08' - and that was tricky and slow but they made it better on '09, slightly better still on X and finally 2011 feels like a really great game.

I don't think that they can afford to do that. I don't know the figures on the first WRC game but I suspect it sold less than SBK. With the sequel being no better they will lose more people (me for one) and make even less profit. I simply can't see them being able to get to a fourth or fifth edition without some financing windfall.

Maybe, but In 2012 their contract expires, and I think CM have shown Interest.

Black Bean have already taken a huge loan from the bank to get the lisence and develop the first game.
Don't think they can afford any more budget. Maybe that's why the new game Is just a refreshment of the 2010 title.

80 000 sales world wide in 44 weeks (20 000 sales in 8 weeks)......
thats not because no one likes the World Rally Championship or rally, that was because the game was and is still rubish,

Look at D3 with much better quality rally ( grafixs handeling etc etc) gained 280 000 sales in 8 weeks....

A couple of new screens here:
