Fun to watch the replays.

DIRT is a nice rally game, but I feel there are stronger driver sims out for the next gen consoles right now. Forza 2 takes it hands down with over-all enjoyment. The damage system however on DIRT is very nice, at which once you smack afew trees real hard you'll be dying to put it into slow-motion and watch the replay. The online player modes are lacking, as they are time based trials - I know alot of people already understand this, and that its really dangerous to have two people racing on these small back roads at the same time but in the same sense, its a game and I'd enjoy tapping someone into a tree. Either way the effects of the crashes are lovely... once you slam into a guard-rail hard enough to make it move, thats a kool feeling. What was lacking was dirt, water, and mud effects from the up-kick of the tires... the cars don't leave any real looking tracks of terrain they've ran over, nor does the water look even close to real as you race down the street. You can fine tune the cars, but as for upgrading them and so forth it lacks in that department as well. It really is the next-gen in rally racing because it still does supply that feeling of "man I'm really flying down this road that I don't even know.", but it lacks in alot of areas.

Either way it seems to be a decently polsihed, nicely WORKING game, as compaired to some of these other rush games that companies have been pumping out.

    Unnecessary capitalization issues aside, DiRT is an absolute blast.

    It's hard to know what to expect out of a "next-gen" driving title; ultimately, the point of every driving game ever made, from Night Rider / Pole Position on down, is to get from point A to point B, and genera... Read Full Review
