![]() ![]() ![]() A $30 game at best, Poor form Codemasters.About This Game DiRT Rally out now for macOS and LinuxĭiRT Rally is the most authentic and thrilling rally game ever made, road-tested over 80 million miles by the DiRT community. You can further tell how crap it is because they've spent an inordinate amount of time making little documentaries about how good it is. Not much rallying, average graphics, short races, annoying voice talking at you and wasting your time. If only they hadn't made a crap looking console game and ported it to the PC. There's dune buggys, trucks, hill climbs, gymkhana and so on. However, there is a reasonable variety in the races on offer. The track changes about, but it's the same location. Well, they're okay, but *every* final is at the Smelter. The next thing that sucks are the Smelter levels. There's not much of it, and the stages are incredibly short as well. They've claimed it's got more rallying than other games in the series, but I wouldn't know after playing it. It's a huge black mark against the game, in my opinion, and the one thing that routinely pisses me off when playing it. I don't want to hear from some faceless boring voice actor trying to create excitement about rallying and telling me how "sick" it is. They ramble on and bloody on and I can't skip them. The next thing that sucks is the terrible "ello guv'nor" British voices that waste my time and interrupt the game. ![]() I'm sure the kiddies will think it looks great on a PS3, but for real PC based graphics, it's average. Instead, they're quite weak by comparison. The graphics were great, and therefore this should have had excellent graphics. The manifests itself primarily in very average graphics. Yet another crappy port from console to PC. The manifests itself primarily in Having been a fan of Dirt 1, I hoped this was as good. Having been a fan of Dirt 1, I hoped this was as good. But Codemasters made my summer for sure :) … Expand It's in the end always a matter of taste and preference. If you're a NfS Driver or GT5 and annoyed, stick to the engine you know and don't come here flaming. But all in all: the best race game since Dirt 2. On the downside are the usual too easy and monotonous career mode and the high rate of course recycling (night/day, weather, backwards). This is the Crysis of Race Games: untouchable. And it looks brilliant: the raceway with tessellation textures, the spectacular lighting, the water looks better and the new weather effects fit in perfectly. if you can't handle it, try another car or turn on some of the various help functions. and the controls but honestly, it's still the same engine as in grit and dirt 2! it handles exactly as you're used to from codemasters race games, which is formidable. Yes, it is a bit sad they abandoned the festival style menus and neutralized the atmosphere from Dirt 2, but it's not all bad because the menus are now much quicker to navigate through. This one let's me know again why I play games. This one I caught myself laughing joyfully while racing an old Toyota down a sandy road into a kenyan sunset.
