Quick tip before you buy, this game should never ever be played on keyboard and mouse, or any rally and/or racing game for that matter.

This game is also a RALLY game, not a RACING game, they are two completely different generes. in one you drive as fast as you can. in the other you listen to what the co-driver says, and carefully (or recklessly) drive down the track following his instructions. m'kay? don't bother reading most of the negative reviews, as they don't state why they think it's a bad game. it's not, just for a niche audience,

I got this game for my dad, and decided to try it out for myself, and to be frank with you, it's a blast. I love how sensitive you need to be to not crash after 2 seconds from start.

Now if you look at the reviews, this game was made for a steering wheel. Which, i mean is kinda obvious, looking at the third video here, however the game is perfectly playable with a controller. This game was clearly made for people who are a fan of this series and/or rallying in general, and thus is made for those people who, probably has a steering wheel. if you want something more beginner friendly play DiRT Rally or some ♥♥♥♥.

Edit: All right folks some of you have said that IF you are good at driving THEN you can drive good with a keyboard, i mean, sure i guess. And yes Madmonkey68 good keyboard controls for the old games is kind of a given, controllers for pc racing games weren't that common back then as it is now, so keyboard controls isn't as much of a big focus point now. i'm not using this as an excuse for my driving abilities in any way shape or form, i know i suck at driving games, and i embrace that. most of my playing time is with my dad or someone else.
