DiRT -PS3- Very addictive, excellent & exhilarating racing, friendly interface and personable controls equals fun!
They've secured pole position with the game DiRT. Wonderful tracks and landscapes, tricky spots for maneuvers, excellent handling and mechanics alongside rewarding/entertaining overall gameplay.
From the opening menu you know that this game has a level of refinement that most games (in any genre) lack. From the smooth layout to the atmospheric sound design, you are immediately immersed into the game's realm of racing.
My only qualm would have to do with the level of customization offered to the individual gamer. Which is to say: there's not all that much or at least, there's not as much as I had hoped for. But! That isn't where a game's total sum of strength should lie so that's not a terribly distracting aspect.
All in all, DiRT provides any racing fan with a game through which they'd swear they smell exhaust fumes in the air. And for the casual racing gamer, you are provided with a game to develop and hone your own particular taste for the racing genre.
