it should be clarified that DiRT is a solid looking game. It sports some good texture work in the environments. The grass and road look pretty convincing, but once the game's blur-filter kicks-in when you increase speeds, their details won't be very noticeable. What's impressive about the engine is that it doesn't load a single object in the environment when you're racing, and that means not a single pop-up to be seen. Now, there seems to be some draw-in with the road, as the road texture sharpens up a few feet in front of your car. The mip-mapping effect is hardly noticeable, but it is there.
When it comes down to it all, DiRT is the rally game hardcore enthusiasts have been waiting for. It's not a game I'd recommend to the casual Need for Speed fan, but it certainly is something fans of the sport and of the Colin McRae franchise will enjoy greatly. DiRT is plenty deep, and has a bevy of race modes, tons of tracks, good replay value, in addition to some pretty solid car customization. Not all is super, though; as the online experience is lacking, the visuals have some sore spots here and there, and gamers will have to dig a bit in order to obtain the cars they really want to roll around with. Other than that, DiRT is still a fine example of a proper rally game.
