Graphically impressive

User Rating: 8.5 | Colin McRae: DiRT X360
By charma | Review Date:
I bought this game when it first came out, but just started playing it again. My friend who loves racing games scored 1000/1000 gamer points on Dirt -- his only game scoring all points. What I like about this game is the sense of rush when you're taking those turns at almost full speed. There is a variety of racing styles and a 46 total cars to acquire in the game, not to mention the 120+ liveries (paint/decal styles for your car) available. This game has a career mode and a champion mode. So far I'm only doing career, but to get all the achievements you'll need to race online, single player career, and single player championship. There are varying degrees of difficulty you can make the AI, from rookie all the way to champion. The online racing unfortunately is a little lame - you don't see the other cars when you're racing them. You can be racing all at the same time, but your position is based on your time to the finish line. There's nothing like the feel of true head-to-head racing. However, you will get this with the single player racing when you race against the AI opponents.

The sound and graphics for the most part do a good job in the presentation. There are moments of "wow" when you flip or run your car into something and body pieces come flying off. There is an in-car view too, which is good because it adds to the realism. I recommend this game if you like racing games. For a rally racer, it's currently the best on the 360.

    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
