A good game in its own right, but what about when confronted with MotorStorm? It's a fair match!
So then, why have I just splashed out a load of money to buy the new game, the day it came out, in a limited edition steel package? Well, it's simple, THEY ARE FUN. Just that. They're fun. Simple.
And that really sums up DiRT, it's fun. Not many other words actually describe it. Maybe, tricky, techinical and beautiful, but mainly fun.
I mean, you get in a car, and trash it, while laughing your head off at how rubbish you're doing. What could be more fun? Seriously?
The graphics are excellent, the gameplay is strong, and the whole idea of the game works, hich it should, seen as it is in essence, the same game it was when Colin McRae Rally came out. Just better.
So where does that leave us? With a perfectly formed game, that has been moulded over years, by criticism.
Comparison with MotorStorm:
It's going to be hard to beat. MotorStorm is the killer racing game, so how does DiRT compare?
I assume you have MotorStorm, as you should have if you're looking for a rally game on the PS3. MotorStorm is an extreme racing game, with huge potential, and very few drawbacks. It was a step in the dark for Evolution, but one they don't regret. DiRT isn't like that. It's an old game, so if you liked the old Colin McRae games, you'll love this.
