 I didn't like it . I think the bloom was overused , framerate is low , most cars have a glossy effect , and the driving is too arcadey while the physics are horrible compared to Forza. And the worst part is if you aren't first in a race t the guys calls you "buddy"  which drives me nuts.

The demo is ok I suppose. Im not sure on how the cars handle. It seems too sensitive how they just turn on the spot almost.

But the damage engine is fantastic and it seems pretty fun.

Personally I like the Burnout's better then the PGR's and the difference in driving games is as dramatic as FPS (Gears is not like Splinter)...it's all just a matter of personal preference in the end.

 (so don't yell at me when I use your car as a moving bumper in Forza :P )

guys you must realize. this is a sim racer and the cars and buggys handle like they would on dirt. go take your car or truck and drive it to the nearest field and youll know what im talking about. this isnt asphalt we are driving on here. they call it DiRT for a reason

Dirt is my favorite racing game up to this date and with racing wheel it is even better. Forza2 dont have the camera angle there you see through driver eyes and see the wheel in the car etc, that is boring they left that out.

Notice that there wasn't any dust on the hill climb also? The game is still in progress so they still have time to treak the handling etc.

I didn't a like the DiRT demo.  The cars go into massive powerslide like its nobody's business.  I don't like how you can go full speed at all times.  Honestly, I used the brake like twice, and relized after I came out of the turn that I could have taken it much faster.  I'm getting Forza and maybe I'll rent DiRT.

DiRT is my favorite racing I've played, and it washes away the bad taste that Forza 2 left. The only thing I hate is Travis in the Main Menu. Annoying.

when then we must be playing a different game. i thought the handling was good on the tarmac course.although i did find the brakes a bit on the sensitive side but this is all something to get use too

I thought the graphics were great, but nothing else was really special.

I'm not a fan of Rally (or any real racing actually). I thought the 3 courses in the demo were boring. And the gameplay was meh... it seemed like when you turned you were driving a hover machine.

I really like MotorStorm's idea: different types of cars racing on a wide track with different ways to go. Guess they screwed up somewhere though.

I had much more fun with DiRT than Forza.  I just find Forza extremely boring.  It is just was too much of a simulation for me.  I do like realistic racing games (PGR3, etc.), but I can't really get into the simulation-type games.

They weren't trying to go for a Motorstorm feel. I liked the demo and thought it was a good bit of fun (Ickler FTW). I've always loved Rally Racing and all but I still don't think I'll BUY it. Just seems like it won't keep me busy for extended periods of time.

Gamefly for the win yo.

Forza demo sucked, real game WILL be better

Rally Sport is a really good game Dirt to me just sucks only reason people like it here cause its have nice enviroment graphics. It has poor handling and physics and it is arcaded which its not suppose to be. I really wish they made Rally sport 3 the true rally sim.

I originally hated the cars handling they felt like you were hovering above the track rather than on it but i changed to racing with the in-car view and those problems even though they are still there they are much less noticable. The only thing i really hope they tweak a little is the braking its just too extreme they need thr braking distance a little bit longer and wish they would get rid of Pastrana(sp) his voice is so annoying sadly that wont happen.

Demo, the framerate in the final version will be 50fps, and the physics are awesome imo.

I gotta say, I really liked the demo.  I will agree, the cars seemed a little 'light' feeling, and I imagine it would play a lot better with the wheel (which I haven't bought yet).  I will definitely be buying this one (soon as I find a decent price). 

Between this and Forza 2, I think I'm going to be spending a *lot* of time driving this summer. :D  That's not a bad thing.

Just try to remember that  the demo is actually behind the retail game in development by weeks or months.  Also realize that they may use different textures/models and other stuff in the demo to save space and time.  There may be many things that get changed/fixed between when the demo is made and the game goes gold. 

Frankly, I think Codemasters did a better job with the Dirt demo compared to the Forza demo.  I think the Forza people could have given us a bit more variety.

At first I couldn't really get into DiRT. But I gave it another try and learned how to turn and drift properly and now I'm having a blast. I think alot of the people who don't like DiRT haven't fully learned the controls yet, turning without slaming into a wall or spinning out takes a bit of practice.
