WRC 3 is the official rally game of the 2012 FIA World Rally Championship featuring licensed cars, tracks and drivers. The game consists of three major modes: WRC Experience, Road to Glory and Multiplayer.
In WRC experience mode the player can choose to race a single stage, participate in a single rally (consisting of 6 special stages and a super special in some countries), or try their hand in the championship. In championship mode the player can choose a car from 1 of 3 categories (WRC, Class 2 or Class 3), then they select a driving crew to control from a roster of real-life teams. The player also can configure their championship which can consist of up to 13 rally events set in different countries with varied climate conditions and road types.
Road to Glory is basically the career mode. The premise is that 7 drivers from around the globe are chosen to participate in ultimate competition to decide who will become the next rally rising star. The player is one of these drivers. They need to beat the others in their respective countries (grouped into 7 geographical areas) and then ultimately face the real rally pilots in a series of super-special stages. Aside from classic rally events there are contests to test the player's skill: drifting, gate contest (a mode that originated in DiRT 2), rally school, survival contest (your car is literally falling apart as you race), top rally contest (be fast enough to outrun a helicopter or a glider) etc.
Each geographical area in Road to Glory mode comprises two countries (except for the last area) with unique rally events. These are:* Iberian area: Portugal and Spain;
- American area: Mexico and Argentina;
- Anglo-Saxon Area: Great Britain (Wales) and Germany;
- Scandinavian area: Finland and Sweden;
- French area: Monte-Carlo and France;
- Mediterranean area: Italy and Greece;
- Pacific area: New Zealand.
To track the player's progress, Road to Glory mode uses reputation points (represented as stars). Reputation points may be obtained in two ways: by showing good results in rally events and contests or by pleasing the crowd (i.e. causing destruction on track, drifting, jumping, reaching the car's speed limit etc.). These points are used to unlock new events, cars and upgrades. Cars (and modifications) available in Road to Glory mode are in several categories:* WRC: Mini John Cooper Works WRC, Volkswagen Polo R WRC, Ford Fiesta RS WRC, Citroën DS3 WRC;
- Class 2: Proton Satria Neo S2000, Å Škoda Fabia S2000, Peugeot 207 S2000, Fiat Abarth Grande Punto S2000, Ford Fiesta S2000;
