"FIA World Rally Championship" will be available from now on at a global scale, bringing car racing fun to handsets everywhere. I-play will try to bring the intense racing feeling on mobile phones through this officially licensed WRC mobile game.

Millions of fans take part in World Rally Championship

events every year and the WRC website alone regularly attracts over half a million visitors every month. Such a mobile game targets at young (18-35 years old) people that love racing, speed and intense thrills.

Producers expect this game to reach great success among players. "High speed frenzied action, with detailed and incredibly high quality graphics, will raise WRC above and beyond any other mobile rally racing game. Staying true to I-play's casual development philosophy, the game will incorporate 'one thumb' play and will be easy to get into, but challenging to master", said David Gosen, President of I-play.

"This platform delivers WRC content in a new format to a new generation of gamers who are able to experience the high-octane challenge of the WRC, on demand. High quality full rally simulation is now accessible in bite-size chunks relevant to modern lifestyles, bringing WRC directly into the hands of a global fan base", commented Simon Long, Managing Director of International Sportsworld Communicators.

"FIA World Rally Championship" challenges players to race in 16 different official WRC locations. This breaks monotony with a variety of sceneries and environments. Graphics are great, especially due to the cinematic camera angles and third person driving views. The game can be played in both arcade and championship modes, which makes it even more appealing.

There are two different versions of the game, a 2D, coming from I-play and a 3D one, from Firemint. Both games will be distributed from now on globally across I-play's extensive network.
