Hi all, I cant decide which one to buy, I have looked on gameplay reviews on YouTube but dont know which one. I like the look of grid but I prefer physical games rather than digital. Thanks all.

Depends if you prefer simulation or arcade really.

WRC8 offers a much deeper driving model and extensive simulation features over the course of your career, furthermore it runs very smooth - which lends itself to the sense of shifting weight you need to properly thread a rally car through the tightest courses.

V-Rally 4 is a lot prettier, set in more fantastical locales and is easier to play. It has a broader selection of cars and events besides rally: Buggy and Hillclimb.

If you want a racing game rather than a rally one, GRID is still the way to go.

Where is Sega rally, Ridge racer, Daytona, Fzero GX to give us some real options.

@sixrings Closest thing we got is FAST RMX and Rise: Race the Future. RMX is excellent but we need much more in the Daytona/Sega Rally vein.

One does not simply replace arcade veteran legends and they up and retired (F-Zero GX/AX being their last game.)

I would recommend V-Rally simply because you should be able to get it a lot cheaper. Both games are pretty much the same thing and you should be satisfied with either or as your rally fix.

...Or wait for Rush Rally 3, a snip of the price, lots of content, 100% focussed on the rally driving experience. Due to come out in USA/Europe 23rd December 2019!

(Shameless plug I know!)

Shameless maybe but that is... very interesting.
Is it fair to say nobody would "expect" it to be as featured as it seems to be? Lots of content is an understatement.

I'm still really on the fence over these two games, I have viewed loads of reviews on YouTube etc but to anyone who has the games, are the reviews really as accurate or are the games better than on paper? I'm a casual gamer who only owns a switch rather than any next gen console. So I couldn't personally compare performance/ graphics between them. Thank you all.

@GazzaB85 V-Rally is better than the reviews suggest, especially when playing casual. Mostly down to how it was patched since release.

From what I played of WRC so far those reviews are pretty accurate, but then again it scored decently.

@GazzaB85 I'd agree with @Rubbercookie: if you're looking for a good racing game, then GRID is the best option, but if you're looking for a rally game, then I'd pick V-Rally 4. Especially seeing as you're a casual gamer, according to your own words, then you might want to know that V-Rally is considerably more lenient in its controls.

Some WRC fans may say that the reward for "getting it right" once you've finally mastered the minute controls is what makes the games in that series far more satisfying, but personally, after having tried 3 different WRC games both on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, I've ended up removing all of them from my systems, because I only got more and more frustrated, especially if you finally succeed in making an almost perfect run, only to inexplicably slip up in the last leg/last bit of a race, making you lose after all.

Nothing like that has ever happened to me in any V-Rally game, and I also have several of those. So, in my opinion, V-Rally is the more lenient one, for players of ALL kinds of skill sets and/or who simply don't always have enough time, will or energy to master hardcore sim controls, which is what can make the WRC games VERY frustrating to play.

So, if you even remotely suspect that this won't be to your liking, then I'd definitely choose V-Rally, or GRID as a racing game alternative.
