The name says it all - DIRT
The game is full of bugs, and I'll list the ones I found in just the first 10 minutes, after which I decided to uninstall it.
- the invert mouse setting does not work.
- you start in a prison cell, get out, get a gun and then you're back in your cell with the gun (wait, didn't I just get out of the cell?)
- the main character has all sort of special powers (telekinesis, super dodge, enhanced vision, etc) that are not explained anywhere (you play with this amnesic blond who remembers only being on a picnic with her friends)
- once you get a shotgun, it's displayed on the screen (in a sort of a found new item screen) and the new weapon has no texture. It's black.
- first level is too short (about 1-2 minutes including the cutscenes)
- the text "speed kill" was displayed after every monster I killed, no matter how long it took to kill it
- the character moves ridiculously fast compared to other characters (even faster while sidestepping)
- a female NPC is killed twice by some giant bugs (a little ironic that you have to kill bugs and the game is so full of them).
- the bugs mentioned before did not attack me until I shot at them, even though I was walking in circles around them
- the "shoot" sound disappeared after 5-10 shots
- when you click the mouse button to skip a cutscene, it is skipped but you also fire your weapon.
- the textures are obsolete (there are games 7-8 years older with better textures)
- a few minor textures kept disappearing and reappearing or changing color
- a few collectible items were up in the air about 3 stories high with no way of getting them
- the collision system is broken (just run to a wall and half the character is on the other side, turn the other way and you can see behind the wall, outside the scenery)
- gameplay and environment design is very repetitive (kill bugs, move to next alley to kill more bugs). Bugs vary in size and color.
- finally I found an area filled with some green radioactive slime. I tried jumping over it and ended up inside; nothing wrong with that, except for the minor setback that I didn't die once inside, moved around and still did not die and I couldn't get out (jump wasn't working while inside the green goo and there was no way to climb out).
- also there is no uninstall shortcut in Start/Programs. No biggie, but it would have been more convenient - considering you will uninstall it shortly after starting it.
Don't buy it, it's not worth it. Even the Gamespot reviewers gave it a 2.
