DIRT is great. I love the different driving veiws available, you rly feel like your in the car and it gets pretty intense. The game is very immersive which is what rly makes it so much fun. The graphics look very good with detailed tracks, nice car models and good lighting ( although some tracks the lighting is too bright and you can't adjust it. ) also the car models will show damage through out the race and the car even gets dirty over time on the car which is always nice to see. The car handeling is great and can be adjusted to your liking, I wish it had a feature that let me hire a mechanic to tweek my car for me. But on my own I was able to make a few adjustments that improved my previuos times. You will need to repair any damage you cause as you bump, jump and wind your way through the well designed tracks, but the game should have made it so in addition to tweeking settings and repairing damage you could also upgarde the car with your winnings through out the game with more customization like forza 2. The carrer is long but for me it seemed like it could have "flowed" better rather that just one race after another. The online play only lets you go up agaist others time but it is still fun and actually allows you to concentrate on the track more instead of if some guy is going to brake short or run you right off the road. But racing with other ppl on the track has its place too and you won't get that online in DIRT. The online is fun but this is another area the game could be better. Overall I recommend DIRT, it does alot of things rly well like the solid graphics, physics of the car while driving or crashing, and the intense and immersive camera veiws make this one of my favorite racing games. But with room to improve the career, online and car modding which were all quite bland. I give it a solid 8.0Read full review
I like racing games. I like off road racing games. I like DiRT. It's fairly simple really. There are a few issues, but overall, it's a great game. I love the variety of cars, everything from small slow FWD to huge AWD trucks (seriously, as big as an 18 wheeler) and everything in between. The tracks are fun and the career lets you choose which race you want to do next, letting you concentrate on your favorite types of racing (normal rally, hill climb, rally cross (lots of cars at once), etc). There are two things I do not like about this game. 1, there is no split screen. 2, there are limits as to which track you can race the cars on. I love the huge trucks, but you cannot race them on the small buggy tracks, which I think would be a lot of fun. You also cannot race different classes against each other. Sure, it wouldn't be realistic, but I think it would be fun. If you fix these two problems, I'd give it a 5. It's still my favorite racing game on 360 however, and I've played most of them (yes, I like it more than Forza2). Other than that, superb graphics, and handling that is between arcade and simulation. In the end, it's fun.Read full review
As far as racing games go, Dirt does stand out amongst the rest in that it is true rally and offroad racing. The game has quite realistic physics, plenty of simulation views and options, and a varying array of car types and events. The racing is pulse pounding and extremely fun. There are, however downsides to this title. First off you will have to play alone or play online. Second, you cannot truely customize or build your own car, but rather just tune and race preset cars (that are sometimes not the coolest cars on the block). And finally, the graphics aren't as stunning as they could be when compared next to games like forza and need for speed, this however is not a huge deal since this series is one of a kind rally racing filled with dirt and damage, not shiny pavement and nice paint. Overall a very very fun and addicting game, that can be picked up for just over 10 bucks these days.Read full review
Fun Game. Easy to Play. Can quickly start playing game without spending much time reading the instruction booklet. Easily change skill levels between each race, making it easy to complete all levels of skill without having to complete the whole game before moving up a skill level. The only two issues that could use improvment are the long waiting periods for each race to load and the fact you can only play one player without going on-line.
The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. the best rally race game for the 360. Still prefer motor storm over dirt, but that's unfortunately only for the ps3. The Bads: Only one player. Tough luck if your an online multiplayer person. It has online play, but not very good. Buy the game for the single player mode, if you're into racing games this is a must. the physics are a beaty. panels fall off the car, if you have too much damage you'll be unable to complete the race. probably the best menu system out there. Grid even copied the menu system.
