 Fun, but really needs a steering wheel controller January 16, 2008
7 out of 18 found this review helpful
OK, here I go talking about my latest game purchase... "Dirt".
I'm about midway through the game now, and I'm having a really good time with this game. I find it extremely realistic, the cars & buggies are really cool, yet I would have liked to race against more cars. Don't get me wrong, you get your fair share of racing against other cars, but, I'd like more.
See, each race is different...Some are "rally" races (like Pike's Peak), some tracks have you racing with multiple racers on the same track, and sometimes you just race one opponent, but it just seems to me like there are way too many rally races on the game. Which aren't bad, but I do like racing with other people on the track. Not only can it be challenging, but I also find it really funny to ram other guys off the track, watching them flip over, sometimes the rally races are a bit boring (ie: just racing by yourself on a curvy road)
PROS: Great realism, serious graphics, MANY MANY tracks to choose, cool cars, great options for "Difficulty Settings" (which a player can change at ANY time in the game) nice replay viewing options (FF, REW, PAUSE, SLOW...etc) high "Fun Factor"! Overall, a very cool game for all ages!
CONS: Not too many, really. But, again, I would like to see more races with other opponents. And I'm not a fan of the "big rig" races. Way too slow, and cumbersome. Sometimes the joystick controls are a bit hard to use for racing games...A steering wheel controller would REALLY come in handy for these types of games! But, this is the ONLY REASON why I only gave it a "3 STAR" rating for the overall rating.
But, for the most part, it's a cool game, and it's quite fun! And, I actually like it a tad better than Motor Storm. However, they're both really fun racing games. And both games have they're great moments, and are worth the money!
 Most realistic driving game on the market. January 12, 2008
Dirt brings those crazy European rally races into your entertainment room. The way that the game makers allow the cars behave on the real-as-life dirt tracks is remarkable. This is probably the first driving game that has actually made me pay for my driving errors. When ever nick a corner or fish tail into a barrier it effects the performance of my car and I'll end up having to dish out money after the race to fix it. Anyway it is flippin sweet!
 Amazing level of realism December 31, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am into simulations both in games and professionally in physics; and while I can see some aspects of how they try to ensure the driving is not too difficult or frustrating it is still an extremely detailed and accurate simulation of a Rally driving experience. I am especially amazed by how much realism they put into the interaction between the vehicle and the surround obstacles in the environment like bushes, trees, guard rails, roadsigns, fences, rocks, logs, and any other debris on or around the track. That includes bits and pieces of other cars that sustain damage during the race. I mention the damage modeling here almost as an aside but the only word to describe the detail and depth of the accurate simulation here is Awesome. You have to see it to believe it - I would recommend this game to any driving sim enthusiast.
A DiRTy Little Addiction December 29, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a game that on the outside looks like any other driving game. All I can say is that this game is a complete addiction. I'm having flashbacks of the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System when my wife worked 2nd shift and I would play Super Mario Bros for hours on end. That was 15 or so years ago and hate to say it, but this game has the same potential to do the same thing that NES did to me...BAD but this game is NUTS!! I LOVE IT!!!
Don't hesitate...Just get this one and enjoy. DiRT is the BEST offroad racing game that I've played. EVER! PERIOD!
Best rally game for PS3 December 27, 2007
Great game if you love rally. Realistic graphics and handling, the lighting and background detail on the PS3 is a lot better than the 360. I think of motorstorm as more of a kid-fun boost until you blow-up kind of game, where as DiRT is a true rally enthusiast game with realistic damage.
The only problem i have with this game is no multiplayer. I want to play with the person sitting next to me, not online, but all the new games seem to be that way.
