Need for Speed and FlatOut merge in this amazing rally racing game.
Starting the game. A ver helpful and beautifully-designed menu will drive you to everything you would like to do. Six different racing types await you. Play in the amazing career mode, where you can enjoy the real rally championship, earning money to purchase cars and parts, and move to bigger challenges till you becom the champion of champions. The procedures and actions out of the tracks bear resemblance to these of NFS Most Wanted. But inside, it is totally different, the Colin McRae we are used to.
You will find many amazingly-detailed and totally realistic tracks to play in, driving one of your upgradeable, fabulous cars, which are enhanced from every previous rally racing game. But it is too bad that DiRT seems to be problematic in one way: you may not feel the satisfaction of the experience, the atmosphere of rally racing is a bit lost when you full-throttle. But anyway, Codemasters have done a great job to the details of the car when it is almost totaled. They really break apart very nicely niying much better than any previous game.
What the game is completely missing is a great multiplayer mode. Well, the LAN mode has its fun, but the online connection is lagging, preventing you from playing online. This is the only part of the game which is stripped down to a fault. The graphics of the game are very-very good, though the game will ask you to have a major video card and a respectable processor. There are some minor problems, such as low clipping and malfunction of the frame rate, but they are not too serious to stand in your way.
DiRT succesfully follows Codemaster's tradition to such rally games and will have you playing until you become the champion of the champions in off road racing.
