V-Rally - PlayStation 4

I'm a casual gamer and just don't have a lot of time to play as much as I wanted but still love my Switch and Play games. I just got V-Rally 4 today from Amazon, I got it for $30(at one point a few months ago they reduced it from $60 so I jumped on it and pre-ordered it) but its currently at $60. I LOVE the Dirt series and have played them on the PS4, but the switch lets me pick up gaming whenever I can fit time so I was so looking forward to V-Rally as a replacement racer on the GO. This game does not disappoint(Note I have only put a few hours),it is way better than any other racing simulator games(Bikes and Cars) on the Switch that I have played. . This game has a unique level up element you can say in a way. You get sponsors, you hire agents, mechanics and engineers to get better repairs and better parts. Graphics: Graphics are not on par with Dirt but they are definitely great for what the Switch can handle. Elements such as water splashing when you drive over them, dust picking ups and your car getting dirty adds realism(YES on the Switch). The surrounding don't look flat like Gears Club. The devs actually did really well with the different stages and courses, the Japan races for example are such a treat, like driving through the towns on tight streets and seeing the red leaf trees is awesome. I do wish there was actual visual body damage, the only actual visuals are headlights not turning on. You still get damage when you crash that affects your performance. Controls: I do not miss the trigger buttons(if you owned a PS Vita in the past and played racing games its the same feeling). Controls are very responsive. Racing: This is real racing. You get the usual Rally races where you race alone and try to finish in the fastest time. But you also get races against other cars. If you are a racing game fan this is for you. Especially if you are into Dirt series game or any rally game.

alot of fun, just hard to control cars at some points

For whatever reason this game has gotten middling reviews across all platforms, which might make sense if you're on PC and could just play DiRT but on Switch it really stands out. It's a great rally game with honestly pretty nice graphics. I've not been distracted by them at all and there are some lovely moments. The performance is good, to my eye minimal to no frame drops, it has immersive audio, and makes great use of the HD rumble. Of course it's not as polished as DiRT but for a rally game you can play anywhere this is well worth the price.

I have never bought a rally game before that I never wanted to play the rally races. This is a game you should never buy for the switch. I’m playing with the pro controller and unlike the one or PS4 controllers when you press the triggers and depending on how hard you press dictates how fast or slow you go with the pro controller it’s all the way go or all the way brake and it makes the rally races so hard. I also can just not believe the game doesn’t have any Subaru’s. Save yourself some money and do not buy this game at 60 it would barely be worth it at 30. I have to start the game over cause with me selecting a rally car in the beginning and with the winnings I get which are nothing I’m never gonna get anywhere in the game. So if you do get this start with v-rally cross. I would really like to know if the developer even tried the game on switch after they ported it. The difficulty and tracks are so inconsistent it’s incredible. Played a race on a course and got first also stayed on the track the whole time then tried the same track with the same car on one of the champions and I couldn’t get out of last place and also was all over the course. Games like this make me want to just stop buying games and find a new hobby. Do not buy this game on switch it’s not worth it. I have played less than w hours and I’m already selling the game.

It's a hard game to play but hopefully I can get good with the pro controller

Steering with the small Nintendo button is almost impossible. I tried every setting in the software to slow up the sensitivity of the steering. None of the setting worked. Found out that you cant get a steering wheel to add. does not support a steering wheel, a least I could find a option in the software and I would not find any information on line. with out good steering control the game is frustrating. I mist the return window by three day. crap.

I under estimated how incredible this game is. Just winged it on purchasing this game. Incredible selection of cars and races. Mechanics & engineers.

I really enjoy a good Rally game. I have Dirt Rally (my favorite) and WRC7 (not as good, but still good) on PC that I really like, but was playing Switch and was thinking how great it'd be to have a Rally game for it. At first glance I thought V-Rally 4 looked bad. Then I looked into it more, and thought maybe it could be good. Well, I got it and thankfully it's better than I expected. I'm a realistic person, so I knew it wouldn't look as good as it does on PC (or even PS4/Xbox One), but I must say this game looks better in motion, and looks better than screenshots and vids that I've seen. The controls are good, but not having analog triggers hurts some... but it's definitely doable. I'd still say the game controls well (if you're not used to Rally games you'll struggle at first). The game itself has good presentation, good pacing, and it's setup really nicely. It's got different modes of Rally racing, so it's not just you by yourself on a Rally course. I've only played single player and in handheld mode, and I've been really enjoying it.
