The next installment in the rally racing series features more drivers, cars, and tracks than its predecessors.
The player can select from several game modes, such as rally racing in the V-Rally Mode, time runs in the Time Attack mode, or time-limited time-limited challenge runs in the Challenge Mode. The latter two game modes are also available for up to four players to simultaneously take turns in multiplayer mode. The primary objective, however, is to emerge victorious over each competitor on the rally circuit and claim the champion title. The more skilled players are, and how far they progress, the more cars and tracks will become available. The game features 80 drivers, including six actual rally drivers, 48 other ways spread across six countries, and 20 cars for players to compete against and unlock. There are two championships to compete for: the 1.6-liter title for two-wheel drive and the 2-liter title for the four-wheel campaign.
The race can be viewed from inside the car or behind it as the player attempts to become the best rally racer on the planet. Players can view the race from inside the vehicle or behind it as they scream through snow, rain, fog, dirt, gravel, and overjumps at different times of the day and night.
