Way off the original series

User Rating: 3 | DiRT 3 PC
I thought that with that good rating I would be at least amused. Having played CMR 2,3,4 and Dirt 1 I expected something totally different. The game has took a turn for the worse and it's focus is Ken Block and his videos doing donuts and s**t on youtube and it tries to make you get into that stuff. I remember the series being about rally and not s**t that most good drivers can do after a thousand attempts. Still it offers really nice graphics and fair music. If it combined those qualities with a rally racing game with the all time classic season around the world and the service f******g areas (still cannot believe that the damage is not carried from the one race to another) it would be a great game. I am really disappointed at Codemasters for this game and although I understand that there is already a WRC game and perhaps they are not allowed to use the officials names and stuff that does not mean the have to turn to this. Why the **** would i want to run with a buggy on a rally racing game? why a season compiles with stages at Monaco - Kenya - Finland with totally different vehicles and races and not the f*****g Paris-Dakar for example...
