Great game! But I want everyone to play! When will all my friends be able to play with me, on my system?

DIRT is an awesome game. It offers many different tracks and varieties of races for the enthusiast. The one problem I have is that only one person can play at a time -when are the developers of PS3 games going to give us a platform that allows multiple players in one game, on one console, with 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 controllers? Rock Band has done it and has been wildly successful. Guess why? More than one person can play at the same time! I would like to see that happen in a lot of games. Side by side careers would also be good -do the developers think that only one person plays each game that is purchased? Maybe even races/tournaments between user profiles? Obviously that would cut into sales, but in the long run, I think it would work out better for everyone...

Other than that, DIRT! is a great starter game for the PS3. The graphics are awesome, and so are the sounds - the game is totally immersive. It does take some practice, it is not meant to be a casual game, but it is a fairly good simulation. Friends who have never played any kind of video game will get pretty frustrated. But with some practice and some determination, it can be a LOT of fun. The career mode gives everyone a broad range of levels to compete in (5 levels from rookie to pro), and a vast number and variety of races to participate in - from CORR dirt truck racing to high powered hill climbs, from street races in the hills of Japan to outback tracks in the wilds of Australia. There is something for everyone here, as long as your goal is to be the best and the fastest.

This was one of the first games I got for the PS3, and we were disappointed with the crashes - if you want destruction this is not the game for you. But we still love it for the variety and for the realism.
