What good is that? Tell me what the respawn button is! It’s a small gripe but, considering how good the tutorials are elsewhere, this seemed like a weak oversight.Īnother such recovery gimmick is the power to rewind time, a simple and effective ability that defines what players are likely to enjoy in WRC2: The gameplay is just really solid. “To respawn, press the respawn button” they say. Whilst I got the hang of it eventually, players who jump into the game head first will find the loading screen control tips woefully unhelpful.

It occurs automatically, but you can invoke it manually. One of these abilities is an auto-respawn that places your car back on the middle of the track. Before long I was skidding along the tracks with glee and capitalising on some of the game’s cooler features for recovering a dodgy turn. Whilst a lot of other driving games tend to fall flat in these areas, preferring to drop players in at the deep end, WRC2 has a range of decent challenges that help explain the various mechanics.

Knowing full well my lack of skill in driving games, my first stop in WRC2 was the game’s tutorial modes.
