Sure the graphics are good but the car handling is terrible. They've made the game too arcadey; way more arcadey that Rallissport Challenge was. The cars have no weight to them and turn on a dime. I absolutely hate this game...
Have u tried it with the racing wheel??? It is unplayable. The cars turns, break, accelerate and turn unrealistically and horribly. I absolutely loved Rallisport Challenge 2; I absolutely hate this game. Maybe it's because I've become used to Forza 2's beatifully realistic handling and physics that I don't like Dirt... But Dirt stinks.
yes it is probley the worst handling rally game i've ever played. You can't maintain a drift, you drift way too easy on tarmac, its just terrible. every other aspect of the game is fantasic BUT the handling sucks period. If you think its great you have fun with arcade racing.
Forza is to realistic, if i wanted to drive a car that realistic i just go out and drive a real car. Dirt is just plain fun and so much more fun then driving forza or a real car..
Agreed that the handling is poor. Colin McRae games have always had a centre pivotal point in the vehicles which makes it seem like a 'hovercraft', even on tarmac. The rear wheels just glide around which make replays look disasterous.
Codemasters' even said the handling would be completely rebuilt for this game but I don't see it. Looks great though...
[QUOTE="martin_f"]I loved it and im not all too into Racers its much better than Forza and Motorstorm which ive both played demos of.Spamwell
U aren't into racers, that's why u like this game. Any real racing fan would hate this game.
I am a pretty big racing fan, F1 and Rally mostly, and I love the game, feels like the old Colin games with better handling, you are just not that good.Â

Yea your right DiRT is a wicked game and i will be purchasing it most deffinately! see you on there!! :p

Yes because driving an average ford/honda/whatever down the street at 40 mph is exactly the same as driving a ferrari at over 200 mph around a race track. :roll:
But i don't want you to think I hate arcade racers, either. My two favorite racers are Forza and Burnout, so I like every kind of racer. That is probably why I had no real problem with Dirt's handling, despite the fact that it didn't feel very realistic.
i LOVE dirt... the game is great! I cant wait for more tracks/cars. I am buying for sure. You cant maintain a drift? Maybe thats because you suck? I have no problems....
bs to the guy that says this sucks, this game is awesome and i can see my self when i buy it forgetting about forza motorsport two and its bland action on the track!
hey I like Dirt, the demo was good and its probably going to fun online. I have more fun playing Dirt than the Forza demo because Forza is just more real and If I wanted something real I would go outside.
how can you hate a game that hasnt even come out yet.i mean it doesnt come out till june 19th which leaves plenty of time to tweak the controls.as for me i loved it and i can tell you i am an avid racing fan.ive owned at one point every racing game worth getting on the original xbox and I have or at one point had every 360 racing game except for need for speed carbon.it just takes time getting used too and i do agree the brakes are a bit on the sensitive side but it beats mashing the left trigger and nothng happens.now i havnt bought the wheel yet.im hoping for them to sell it without PGR3 since i lready have it but im sure with alittle time and practices it will come easy.a real racing fan doesnt hate a game because its controls in a Demo arnt tight.a real racing fan adapts

dirt suck .HOW? IT CALL PLAYING THE DEMO.
exactly its just a demo not the full game.come back when you start speaking in full sentences not Tarzan languageÂ
I thought the game looked Great!!! And for the controls, they were good to me...I'd rather play games like pgr 3 who are more arcade than games like forza 2... Can't wait for that game!!! I know it's Rally but I would have still liked to play it online against several people on the screen as well, that's my only complaint...
I liked the demo, it was really good, and I do not see how you can hate it if you have not played the full game yet, the crashes looked good, the steering was not bad, drifts were easy to pull off, it was all around an awesome game can't wait for June 18th
Forza is to realistic, if i wanted to drive a car that realistic i just go out and drive a real car. Dirt is just plain fun and so much more fun then driving forza or a real car..tony_fjellborg
Thats the dumbest comment ive ever heard. So I guess you have a lifetime access to a Race track and can afford to buy and tune tons of different cars. And whos gonna race with you? Do you have 7 real life friends who also have access to all the race track around the world? This comment is bull****.
I liked the graphics and it seems to have plenty of modes to race in but the steering is to sensitive for my taste. I barely press the stick and I am spinning out. I just need to practice some more cause I love off road games.
this is not a race sim like forza. this is rally racing. two completely different race styles. everyone that hates it for gameplay doesnt know what there talking about.
To everyone saying the cars feel like it has no weight:
Â
Its supposed to be like that. They dip the rally cars in acid to reduce the weight (just for an exemple). Its more realistic to have the car weightless.Â

i am 100% sure i have played more racing games than you,i am definately what someone would call a "real racing fan" and i love this game,so please just speak for yourself....
i didn't like the turning either.... now i kinda got used to it (the human brain easily adapts...) and i'm starting to like it. Still not sure whether i'll buy it or not though

you moron he was talking about the physics themselfs not the game as a whole.the cars are supposed to feel how they would on the streets and thats what he was implyingÂ
i LOVE dirt... the game is great! I cant wait for more tracks/cars. I am buying for sure. You cant maintain a drift? Maybe thats because you suck? I have no problems....incendiumx
i agree, im sick of these threads complaining on how they can't handle the cars so it must not be realistic and sucks. it was fine for me. i mean oh wow, in forza 2 all i had to do was simply let go of the gas and push the analog stick right or left....very realistic if you ask me.Â
He reason that instead of playing a realistic racing game you should drive your own car. So he obviously must have meant that realistic racing doesn't belong in games because its less fun than f.e. Dirt..
Yea i know he meant the physics, but you cant notice that for 100% on the street thats why i mention race tracks.. Street races is illegal :]

Let go of the gas and just push the analog stick left or right? Lol Its called steer. Isnt that what you do in Dirt as well?

i wasnt just subjecting that to forza, it applies for all games. i know how you misinterpreted that though.Â
