well the first thing you will notice is how well done the presentation is the music fits the rally theme and the menues are super crisp. When starting up for the first time an american voice greets you and welcoms you to DiRT and explains all the modes.

There is lots and lots on content on this game theres carear, championship,rally world, just off the top of my head and each mode is realy big with lots of races. Just like motorstorm there are loads of different vechicles from big trucks to the smaller FWD cars. What i like most is the collection of REAL rally cars like the suberua impreza.

The main rally events are point to point time trials but there are also chaotic circuits with lots of damagae and mayhem.

The first thing you will notice when you play the game are the amazing graphics. The car models are superb the backgrounds lucuis and the actual road surface superb. I realy cant stress at how beautiful it looks i wish forza looked like this, for sure the best looking racing game on the 360 bar none.

Now the handling is quite jerky and sharp but thats what it should be on a rally car id be lying if i said it was realistic and perfect its not much more like a arcade game were you can power slide hairpins. It realy takes a few races to get in the groove

Overall DiRT is a very fun game packed with content and beautiful graphics this realy is a must have game


9/10

I've had a lot of fun with the demo, can't wait to trade some old **** in for this game. The controls are as spot on as I can tell from watching actual rally footage. Just check out some of the rally footage on youtube. They really did a great job with this game. The online portion is supposed to be a disappointment, no side by side racing. Can you comment on that aspect ?

Also, are those screens from your actual gameplay ?

cant comment on LIVE becuase i dont have it on this box but rally isnt realy any good side by side anyway imo and no offline vs is a let down. The screenshots arent from my actual game becuase i dont have a good camera but i can gurantee they looks just like that infact even better.

Also rally has been popular in europe for decades and i personaly have attended a rally race super fun. Ive played evrey colin mcrae game apart from the latest on PS2 and i can hounestly say the handling isnt realy as good as it was its just a totaly differnt style and thats not a bad thing

a can say this feels like a proper next gen racer and to be hounest i was expecting to be let down buy it as i had previously loved the more simulation style in the previous mcrae games.

Also apparently the new sega rally revo has even greater graphics than this! for now this is all i could find

i dunno then... the controls feel perfect to me. I thought they were a little off, and the cars handled a little "arcadey". After watching a good bit of rally races though, my car handles the exact same way when done properly. Which is about 1/4 of the race when I'm in control lol. The screenshots I wondered about how you would have gotten such great caps like that. I wonder how the wheel fairs with this game. I bet it's super intense.
