The website says 24 stages. My guess would be that means twelve + reverse. It's a cheap downloadable game though - so hoping for a vast amount of tracks isn't super-realistic.... Unfortunately. If it really is 24 unique stages though, that would be an impressive number (these days).

What's stopping me importing WRC Vita is the damn track DLC. While free, I hear the base game is a little light in that regard - and it's only going to be on the Euro PSN stores. Could do without DLC if the vanilla had more meat.

if this is arcade-ish to you, id like to know what you consider true arcade
the cars are flying on the track here with no regard to any physics.prime example was this corner:

but yeah, looks like micromachines -fun. i just hope they have a 4-way splitscreen too instead of only online.

That looks really fun. But, I wish it had the old B-class Audi's and the 90's Subaru's.
Not a fan of the power-ups or the huge ass name tags...
Ditto, now I'm infinitely disappointed.Looks pretty cool. Although I can into the thread expecting this:
I didn't know what the WRC was. It could've meant "World's Really Crappy" or "Woah, Reckless Carnage!"

I think it looks like fun. Still love the angle.

Got a "What RC Pro A.M. would have evolved into" vibe for me. Looks fun, I'm in.
I'm pretty much sure I'm going to grab it! Can't wait.

Have you tried POWERUPS?
The camera angle looks cool but it severely impacts visibility. You're either going to have to memorize the tracks fast (which seems to be pretty tough considering how this one looks identical all the way through) or find yourself constantly staring at the mini-map.
You just can't seem to prepare for what's coming next, at least based on that one map. Maybe the full game will be better but that seems like it could be a major issue.

Did you ever play micro machines?
Yes and I loved it. That being said, I'd rather take MM's top down view over the weird angle they've chosen for this.

Huh. Never heard of this series but that looks pretty damn fun.

Top down limits the art quite a bit. Even MM64 went isometric.
Same here

Is there a pure race type with no power ups? Seems like there would be.

Why the hell did they show that whole trailer through that weird ass camera angle?

That's the game. Arcade racing game.
Just an update on this: It appears Namco Bandai will be publishing WRC3 in North America. It's been rated by the ESRB.

First thing that popped in my mind when I saw the trailer
The game looks pretty fun to be honest.

oh? nice! also, this looks like great fun - but yeah, hopefully you can play w/o powerups too

Not actually that important
Meh, should've been 800 points.
1200/€15 on PSN seems a bit steep but hopefully there's a no pow mode and has enough content

Nice, although SmokyDave made me a touch sad saying it's the only Vita game he's a bit disappointed by. Still, a rally game is a rally game.

ESRB only rated the PS3, and Vita versions of WRC 3.

You can turn off the power ups.

The first thing it asks you is if you want to turn them off (and collisions, even).

Huh. I finally got interested when I saw the powerups.
Everyone loves powerups. Cuz it's a video game.
I just wanna race man.

Just did a few races on the trial.
The good:
- Looks great
- Entertaining
- Good range of tracks and cars it seems
The bad:
- Names above cars can't be turned off
- Collisions can't be on without powerups being on
- Handling is quite a bit 'looser' than I would have preferred
Was actually thinking of getting this but no collisions without having powerups activated is the dealbreaker for me.
