 IGN: PlayStation 2 Review
The World Rally Championship takes place throughout the year in fourteen of the world’s most diverse and beautiful locations, from the snow and ice of wintry Sweden, to the dust and dirt of the scorching Kenyan Rally, its an extremely exhilarating, yet potentially life-threatening car sport.
The difficulty level in World Rally Championship does leave something to be desired however, as “Easy” difficulty is a piece of cake, “Normal” isn’t much harder and in “Professional” mode you’ll be struggling to score a single point in each rally.
Just the single — player Championship, or Season, mode will more than likely suck you up for a fair few amount of hours at a time, and you will want to take your driver to the end of the championship.

Rally drivers are given copilots to announce the terrain ahead, because the courses are full of so turns and obstacles that the driver couldn't memorize the course anyway, even if he did practice runs.
Rallying also stresses the importance of actually finishing the race, as rally drivers will often have to complete several stages of a rally event before gaining access to their repair crew.
You don't have to be an avid rally fan to enjoy WRC, but this game will not appeal to gamers looking for an arcade racing game, or a game with lots of unlockable or upgradeable cars.

Rally 2's split screen is hardly what I would call unplayable (once you get accustomed to the fact that it's not a step forward, it's quite fun) but it certainly doesn't run much better than the first Rally split screen on the Saturn!
