When I bought DIRT-Origin of the Species, I thought this was going to be another one of those throw away games. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it. I will have to agree that the game has design faults and requires some work-arounds even on a good PC. But I think that the StarForce anti-copy software installed and required to run it is a major, if not sole contributor to those problems. I think that a game player needs to enter the game with an open mind and not take it too seriously and to sit back and enjoy the hidden humor.
I found the cut-scene graphics poor in quality and some seemed quite lengthy. The characters were fair quality graphics while the environments were below average. I thought that the weapons were good and the special powers were a blast to play with. After playing the game, I found that even though the story had closure, it was written in such a way that it could easily be continued and found myself wishing for a DIRT 2. I agree with other reviewers about the sound, graphics, etc. but don't believe that it should be totally disregarded. In my opinion it's worth a try.
