I have been hoping and hoping for a RalliSport Challenge to come to the 360, because in my opinion it is the best video game rendition of rally racing. I'll admit it, I'm not so in to simulation racers, but I also don't like full arcade racers either (i.e. Burnout). I tried a few of the Colin McCrae racers for the original Xbox and they were fairly decent, but just a touch to simulator like for me. I was wary of Dirt, because once again, it is a Colin McCrae game. I am happy to report though, that it is much more like RalliSport Challenge than any C.M. game has been so far. The nice thing about Dirt though, is that if you want it to be extremely simulation like, it can be. Just up the difficulty and you've got full damage modeling, which is a real pain at times. If you don't like that, lower the difficulty down as low as it can go, and you can pretty much run the car through a wall without much bad happening. There is a HUGE assortment of race types. Sometimes I actually found myself wishing there were less, just so I could get used to one type of racing for awhile. My one BIG complaint about the game is that there is no 2 player split screen. I don't have XBL, but I do like to have buddies over who enjoy racing games that allow you to race head to head. Other than that, if you like rally racing games, you'll like Dirt.
