I immediately enjoyed Dirt from the first time i put it in. The graphics are incredible, the gameplay is spectacular. Everything about this game oozes high production value. However, after playing this game for a week and seeing it all (almost) I have to say that it is the gratest racing game I have ever played. These are the kind of games that gamers need to support, yet I don't see a lot of discussion about it. Hopefully the game is selling well, because it is brilliantly put together.

I don't care what anybody says about the handling and online, this game is spectacular and it deserves more attention than it's getting. Graphics are some of the best i've seen in a while and the tracks are well designed, fun and amazingly realistic.

Agreed. Everything about this game is outstanding. Hell, I even like the online multiplayer. It's more tense than I imagined.

Good for you. I don't share the same opinion though. Simply because I don't like rally and I don't like arcade games of this type. That makes it hard to enjoy for me. Of arcade games, I enjoy Burnout much more.

I agree as well. The online is actually really fun because you are constantly checking to see where your name is and how far you may have dropped after sliding out on a turn. I also don't get the complaints about the game feeling "floaty." To me it seems like the cars handle how they would on the different types of ground. This game is actually pushing me to get a racing wheel! If that doesn't mean it's a good game, I don't know what does!

The games not arcadey though... it's more sim than anything. Sega Rally is said to be an arcadey racer though.

How can you not race online with your friends? You can so this post flops!!! Sure you can't race on the same screen (it's the end of the world!!!) but when you can race at the SAME TIME as up to 99 more people... that's sick!

The only thing that kept me from getthis game was just how sucky the wheel was with it. No matter how I tuned it, it always felt very weird.

its a rally racer, you have to treat the wheel for this game like you would in the arcade.

Anyways, DIRT is more enjoyable for me than F2 at the moment...gameplay, long lasting, great visuals, great car models.

Forza will take a longer time to finish, but Forza I can't play an hour without getting bored. For DiRT I can play a very long time without even getting a little bored.

The reason everyone pines for the ability to race against other cars on the same tracks in multi is that doing that in single player is some of the funnest sh*t you will ever do in any game. The only thing I would change about this game in single player is to have the career mode contain a few less single-person Rally races (though they can be cool) and more multi-car races. They're amazingly fun.

I'm really enjoying this game right now. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best racing game ever, but it is very fun.

It looks like a decent enough rent...and that is what I will do, eventually. However, I have no desire to play it right now with 6 games that I'm still working on (Overlord, The Darkness, Forza 2, Shadowrun, C&C 3, and Guitar Hero 2).

My only complaint with the game is the lack of different weather and times. Rallisport had rain, snow, night and day racing. And mixed it all together. Almost forgot ice racing.Racing in the snow at night was some of the most exciting racing ive ever done. This is the only thing missing from DiRT.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYfjnFoB7hY

Rallisport 2 on the original Xbox. It has one race thats 10 miles long at night in heavy snow. Ive crashed at mile 3 and lost my headlights and wipers for the rest of the race. Talk about stressed.

Is it backwards compatible with the 360? That game looks pretty decent, so I might pick it up.

Yeah, I just bought the game and I can't stop playing... The graphics are realy realy good, the framerate is super smooth and the gameplay rocks(a bit arcady, but still rocks...) . What I can;t understand, is why the hell you can't choose a car in the beginning of a championship.

Couldn't agree more with the TC....especially when you loose a crossover race by 00:00:00! Now that was an amazing replay.

I agree that DiRT is one of the best racing games ever made.

It is a must buy for any racing fan.
