With a lowercase I in the middle of a title full of capitals, DiRT for the Xbox 360 proves to be a great racer.

User Rating: 8.5 | Colin McRae: DiRT X360
The bad spelling in the games' title tells you right away that this will be a hardcore game. Nevertheless the game does live up to its grade two mistake and delivers and extreme hardcore racing game with amazing graphics, great sound, and controls that suite the game to perfection.

No person with an XBOX 360, and certainly no racing game fan with an XBOX 360 should be caught without DiRT. It is an exceptional game, with absolutely stunning graphics. Next Gen has been used to its fullest to allow gamers to experience a highly detailed and realistic virtual world. Great little things like flying dust and brilliant car damage add an extra hint of excellence to what would anyway be amazing. Also basic things like the cars and surroundings have been made to look like something out of an actual race you watch on TV. The game unfortunately is effected by a horrible frame rate which will often have you throwing the controller at that TV you bought just to play your new XBOX.

The sound follows up well, and matches everything that is happening on the track, from things you've come to expect, like car noises, to newer things like riding through bushes. Damage is also rewrded with all the great destructive sounds you want.

As far as the actual gameplay goes. Everything is also fantastic. The control has been laid out in an easy way for an skill level to get use to in an instant. The game features many licensed cars, some of which have been seen in many other rally games. The game features so many races that you do by yourself. Then theres an online mode, which isn't much of a feature, because its not all that enjoyable.

DiRT delivers very amazingly on a graphical view, and succeeds in all other categories, making it a certain must have racing game.
