@gcunit I picked up a retail copy (so I could sell it if I didn't like it) of WRC cheap and am happy with it. Have you tried the demo? Many people were put off by the demo and I can see why as it takes some getting used to. They should have used earlier courses and the first car for the demo to provide a gentler introduction. As the game doesn't provide true analogue control I find it much easier to play using the d-pad rather than the circle pad.
The game feels like a stripped back experience compared to home console rally games, but the basic driving is fun once you get accustomed to the handling. I would only recommend it at the reduced price and in the absence of anything else like it on the 3DS, but I am glad I took a chance on it.
Review is in German so you will need to get your browser to translate it. The reviewer was not impressed at all, giving it 30%. However, after checking, Need for Speed: The Run by the same developers only got 35% on the same website and I liked that game.
