    First, let me talk about the things I love:

    I LOVE the car selection. I am a huge fan of vintage rally cars, and there are a lot of great ones here from Lancia, Opel, Ford, Audi, and more. I like the tracks. They look nice and the designs have enough variety to keep me interested. I like the variety of race types. Visually, it is still really nice even now 5 years later.

    I think it's cool that the narrators use my actual name. Neat little touch.

    The biggest problem I have with Dirt 3 though, is Gymkhana. I **** DESPISE the Gymkhana levels. I hate them. They do not work well in this game, but being the completionist I am I can't resist the urge of playing them over and over and over trying to get all the medals. These things are SO frustrating.

    Other than that, it's a great game.    … Expand

    1 – GENERAL

    Saying that Dirt 3 is a Rally simulator it's an understatement. This is probably the most complete arcady style rally game that I've played ever and it's amazing that the game was launched in 2011. The graphics are completely amazing. Ofc we can spot bad textures here and there, but most of the time everything is in place. Weather effects, lights, day and night tracks,    1 – GENERAL

    Saying that Dirt 3 is a Rally simulator it's an understatement. This is probably the most complete arcady style rally game that I've played ever and it's amazing that the game was launched in 2011.

    The graphics are completely amazing. Ofc we can spot bad textures here and there, but most of the time everything is in place. Weather effects, lights, day and night tracks, snowy tracks. It's impressive I have to say.

    Every car has his own sound and we can clearly suspect the amount of horsepower that each one has. It's different to drive a Mini from the 60's, or a B group car from the 90's.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    You start with a 4 years contract and that’s it. You have then to start grinding reputation for new teams offers, and points so you can access new events.

    The reputation system becomes annoying since one of the offers is always way better than the others, so you tend to choose that over all the other and, with that, you will not experience most of the cars available. And there are a lot of available cars... believe me, a lot!

    There's so many content in the game that I'm afraid I forget some of it. We have several disciplines:

    Traditional rally;

    Rallycross;

    Trailblazer (a rally with much more powerful cars);

    Landrush (rallycross with trucks or buggies);

    Head 2 Head (most of the time is the event final);

    Gymkana (where you test your skills performing several tricks).

    So and what about the gameplay? The game can offer a lot, but if it handles bad it isn't worth it. Fortunately it handles quite well. It's not a perfect simulator. It has a lot of an arcade feeling, but the driving is still accurate and precise, just not unforgiven.

    You can choose from a lot of difficulty levels of the AI, and you can choose the level of assists that you want. I found medium level to be adequate to my level of driving.

    With the flashback system you can go back in time and make that perfect corner that you've missed. You can only do that 5 times per race. It's more than enough.

    I have a big issue with the game. The massive loading screens. We have a lot of those, and they take a lot of time to go, so that take away some of the immersion, and I do not like that.

    3 – CONCLUSION

    I've had so much fun with this game... I play with a controller and it was more than enough for me. I do not know why you cannot find this game on Steam anymore, but if you find it somewhere just get it. I think I got it for free during some giveaway, I do not know where. Well worth it! Great game.    … Expand

    I believe this to be a fantastic game visually and as a simulation. No, it is not perfect. No, you cannot customize anything. To all of the negative reviews on here regarding the previous points, pessimistic much aren't we? Look at the good. The graphics are beautiful. The game is challenging (after you crank up the driving level of course). It is intuitive and the feeling of immersion isI believe this to be a fantastic game visually and as a simulation.

    Gymkhana. Do I have to add anything? If you want to finish races, game forces you to do stupid jumping/drifting around some barrels etc. It destroys a fun from racing. You can't even do racing without doing this. This should be only additional content not included in career.

    Codemasters lo vuelve a hacer con este titulo, mejorando todo los aspecto en relación con el anterior, mayor numero de vehículos, pistas, pruebas, mejoras de sonido y gráficos, una delicia. digno sucesor de lo que fue alguna vez Colin McRae Rally. Muy Recomendado

    This is one of the best racing games I've ever played, if not the best. The graphics is smooth and beautiful. I love the variety of the types of races, tracks and cars available in this game. Overall it's a very entertaining game and quite worth playing.

    I wish though they designed more tracks as halfway through the Dirt Tour you get tired of them repeating over and over.

    I wish though they designed more tracks as halfway through the Dirt Tour you get tired of them repeating over and over.

    And as for the DC Compound missions, better save your time and nerves and consult the Internet as most descriptions are not quite clear and you can easily waste a lot of time doing something and later find out that's not what was meant. The missions are pretty easy but it's really frustrating when you have to spend a lot of time just trying to find where and what on earth you are actually supposed to do.    … Expand

    Классные гоночки с поразительной графикой. Картинка действительно радует глаз.

    Теперь эта часть смесь GRID и Colin McRae Rally 04 - 2005 по настроению. Это значит хуже второй. Но графика лучше. Разговоры персонажей убрали - это минус. игровое меню в виде отдельной локации (хаба) из второй части заменили на пирамидки - большой минус.

    Очень крутая физика, очень крутой геймплей. Очень атмосферно, в прямом смысле, погода делает ошеломляющую атмосферу. Я фанат серии DiRT и это одна из моих самых любимых.

    Not as "Fresh" and engaging as Dirt 2 in my opinion but still a very decent arcade racing game.

    it's not a bad game but 2 gives this one a beating. not counting gymkhana mode which is super difficult and monotonous. The motorcycle noise of each car has almost no difference, it's ridiculous for you to use a car from the 80's and one from the 2000's both with the same noise

    Dirt series itself just feels weak compared to other games of this genre... Never mind the paywalls etc.

    Looks like Codemasters really struggled with DiRT 3, piece by piece cutting everything that could have saved this game from going off the cliff.

    Tremendously fun and mostly pothole free, this gorgeous and flexible off-roader has something for every driving fan. [Sept 2011, p.70]

    Not quite the inspired sequel we had all hoped for, but there's still enough in DiRT 3 to bring the fans back. [Aug 2011, p.96]
