Hi,

I received my copy this morning and I've been playing for a few hours, so far I am really happy with the game the weather effects add so much to the rally experience and takes me back to the days of Network Q RAC Rally and V-Rally. There doesn't appear to be a thunderstorm weather option available something that Network Q RAC Rally did manage even during the 90's. Snow doesn't interact with your window which is unfortunate but rain does and it looks pretty cool. Personally I would have liked to have seen a more in depth weather options like sleet, thunderstorms and maybe even wind.

I found that driving is much easier in Dirt 3 so it's nice to crank up difficulty and assists to advanced and make sure everything is off I found this option to be similar to the way the cars handled in Dirt 2.

I've uploaded a video of a rainy stage in Michigan I will upload another video of a snowy stage later on today.
