Video Game Reviews of Dirt
Customer Review: Good clean fun
Summary: 4 Stars
DiRT is one of those games that come around every so often that gets the balance between fun and progression just right. By introducing different event types as you progress through the long career mode the developers keep the game interesting and encourage you to keep going. The various vehicle types also cover a wide spectrum and have very distinct handling styles which keep you on your toes when switching between the different events.
A nice little feature that is worth a mention is the engaging way that the game keeps you entertained during loading sequences by showing a rotating selection of your game related statistics (most rolls, longest slide etc).
Overall a great driving game that I've found myself playing more than the other recent large release in this genre Forza Motorsport 2.
Customer Review: Good Game.. Attention to Detail!
Summary: 4 Stars
This game leaves Forza in the dust! I usually don't like racing games because they consist of the same old thing. However, this game brings more to the table. Simply the best racing game since Sega Rally! This is NOT another generic racer! You will love it! OMG = 1080p!!Geeze...so pretty..! Customer Review: Fun Arcade Racer
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, this is an awesome game. It plays similar to Sega Rally, so if you liked that, you will like this. I'm not a big fan of racing sims, I'm more into Ridge Racer and this game doesn't come up short. The graphics are amazing at times, the detail on the cars is incredible. This game has some of the most realistic lighting I have seen in any game. I only wish there were more dust and smoke effects, especially since the game's called 'Dirt', but its a minor complaint.
I just got this game, but I'm having a lot of fun. There are a ton of tracks, different cars, paint jobs, etc. This is a game you will want to play through to unlock everything. The single player campaign is really laid out well. The only disappointment was really that there was no multi-car races online. The box said "2-100 players" and I imagined some crazy races, but this is not the case. No voice-chat either. And the loading is a bit heavy when loading a new level. Despite these issues its still a great single-player racer, just don't expect too much for the online.
Customer Review: THE GAME IS OK

Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a huge fan of Colin McRae Rally games from Codemasters. It's the realism. the car handling, the feel of actually driving a rally car. Rally games really haven't penetrated the US market. Only a handful of American enthusiasts cling to this very European sport. I'm one of those Americans. With the release of DiRT, it's pretty obvious that Codemasters toned down the realism of car handling and made it into a very arcadey type of racing. Codemasters went as far as changing the driver and co-driver's voice to an American. No more hard Scottish accents in this game. Now, all you hear is some guy saying American expressions like "I'm stoked! "Awesome all the way!" This is so cool!". I got this feeling this guy was more into surfing and skateboarding than rally driving.
Handling: No realistic powerslides in this game. This is arcade driving all the way. Very easy to do drifting and pendulum turns along tight corners. Cars feel like they're floating on air, almost the car is skating on ice. Braking has been changed to arcade style braking. When you hit the brakes, the car stops like somebody threw a brick wall in front of you. Slight touches on the brakes will put the car to a complete halt. Very unrealistic. Very arcadey. You've been warned.
Graphics: Excellent graphics. No slow downs. Have several driving views. I'm glad they have the dashboard view and bonnet view. I use these views to make everything realistic. Nobody drives behind the car in real life right?
Gameplay: Tons of rally modes. This is a mish mash of different rallies. One minute you're driving a Lancer Evolution and then the next you're driving a MAN trailer truck (without the trailer). Brings some unique driving experiene. They even have the buggy rally. All in all, game can be beaten in a few days. AI not too smart. You can easily dominate them around the turns.
Conclusion: If you're out for a quick rally fix without the real bells and whistles then this game is for you. If you're after realism, wait for the next release. This will disappoint rally loyalists.
