    Get this game for free, Played 24 hours. Get to master championship using mini. Only playable one car, others are floating garbage in dirt. Cars with rear drive unusable. Open USA championship and Track race have not enought tracks, cars and too hard to play. Boring environment of rally tracks. Free to play game for one week.

    Não vejo necessidade em escrever um longo texto analisando sobre uma arte, a nota é apenas um conselho para saber o quanto ela vale para sua vida.

    I see no need to write a long text analyzing an art, the note is just a piece of advice to know how much it is worth in your life.

    Real pilots - do not touch this shiт. Developers don't knows nothing about the behavior of the car on the track.
    For the morons: at a speed of 80 km / h and smooth bends up to 45 degrees we have absolute control, even on gravel road IRL, but in this game - We drive a piece of soap.

    I will give this a 9 if they fix the career save issue. Tried all fixes and none of them work. Still...why should we be fixing a "paid for" game. I mean not being able to save in career mode ffs.

    Started playing this game when it was 1st released on early access and loved it. However, the developers decided to tinker with things that was unnecessary and in my opinion took a fantastic game and spoilt it.. Was initially fantastic on my steering wheel now is almost unplayable. Force feedback was great but is now virtually non existent and unable to set my wheel up correctly.

Initially I could initially use my gear lever but that somehow was removed and there is only manual sequential. Don't waste your money… Expand

    Vendu comme une simulation pure et dure à en croire Codemasters et quelques dévôts, Dirt Rally n’en reste pas moins un Dirt, c’est-à-dire un jeu très orienté arcade comme tous les Dirt qui ont suivi et tous les Dirt qui suivront, car un tocard reste un tocard, Codemasters est tout simplement infoutu de proposer une véritable simulation malgré tous leurs efforts passés ou à venir.

    Ce qui    Vendu comme une simulation pure et dure à en croire Codemasters et quelques dévôts, Dirt Rally n’en reste pas moins un Dirt, c’est-à-dire un jeu très orienté arcade comme tous les Dirt qui ont suivi et tous les Dirt qui suivront, car un tocard reste un tocard, Codemasters est tout simplement infoutu de proposer une véritable simulation malgré tous leurs efforts passés ou à venir.

    Ce qui ne veut pas dire qu’on ne s’amuse pas ici et là, grâce à un maniement assez satisfaisant à la manette, des bruitages excellents et de très jolis graphismes. Le contenu n’appelle aucun reproche et couvre un éventail plutôt large côté chignoles (des années 60 jusqu’à nos jours) et côté spéciales avec six environnements diffférents sans compter les courses de côte (Pike’s Peak) et le Rally-cross, deux disciplines totalement dispensables et inintéressantes soit dit en passant mais qui contribuent au remplissage sur la fiche descriptive.

    Neige, terre, mouillé, nuit, on a toutes les configurations possibles, ce qui constitue un bon point. Par contre, ce qui l’est moins concerne le comportement routier de tous ces bolides dont les réactions varient bien évidemment de l’un à l’autre, des réactions qui consistent lors de chaque dérapage ou chaque embardée à faire pivoter la voiture autour de son axe comme si aucune voiture ici présente n’était munie du moindre autobloquant, ce qui fait hausser les sourcils d’incrédulité. Ainsi, il devient très difficile voire impossible de glisser des quatres fers, le véhicule se bornant à pivoter autour de son axe central comme dans les jeux d’arcade lambdas.

    On notera aussi des réactions brutales et bizarres des différents véhicules, des écarts irréalistes, tout cela étant imputable à une gestion de la motricité à revoir entièrement. De même, les tractions ne tractent pas correctement et ne se remettent jamais en ligne après avoir balancé la caisse dans les virages : l’inertie n’est pas gérée correctement, elle non plus.

    Reconnaissons cependant des différences d’adhérence selon les surfaces (quand même) mais le problème demeure apparemment inexpugnable pour Codemasters, incapable de simuler avec précision ou authenticité les aléas du comportement d’une voiture de rallye.

    La conduite à la manette s’avère la plus efficace tandis que le volant est immédiatement plus gratifiant avec des effets FFB de bon aloi. On n’insiste pas plus que cela, hélas, car le jeu prend un malin plaisir à refuser d’enregistrer ses préférences alors que l’on vient de tout régler au poil de cul, les réglages par défaut étant, il faut bien le dire, inadéquats. Las de tout re-régler à chaque session de jeu, on abandonne donc le volant pour la manette.

    Le jeu est très beau et tourne même sur une poubelle (i7 920 – Radeon 6870) en niveau medium et du moment qu’on passe en vue capot, les 60 im/s sont respectées. Sauf la nuit avec les phares, dommage…

    Un mot sur la difficulté très élevée des adversaires, un geste désespéré de Codemasters pour se donner l’élitisme qui convient et qui obligera à farmer comme un crevard la pénible carrière pour espérer debloquer toutes les charettes, très chères à l’achat.

    En conclusion, un Dirt qui ne semblait pas mauvais mais qui se retrouve toujours globalement… mauvais, bien loin des espoirs que l’on aurait pu placer à son égard.    … Expand

    Terrible game. The RWD handling on dirt and gravel is far too sensitive, meaning you have to drive too slowly or retry countless times till you learn the stage. There's enough different cars, but each class has one outstanding car which renders the others pointless. The game is far too minimal to be worth buying an entry level wheel and pedals for (>£150!), but is unplayable on a gamepad.Terrible game.

    Game modes are very poor. Rally Cross has unfair AI at top level, where the AI cars drive flat out even when sideways and are solid when shunted, but easily smash you off the track when you're winning. There's no time attack mode, no ghost cars, no real way to test set ups, there's no official World Rally Championship licence - which is very n i g g a r d l y considering how low budget WRC has gone, so they could've bought it cheaply. The fake rally season mode only has 6, yes SIX, events! It all seems pointless.
    Online modes and leaderboards are worthless, only silly Rally Cross races against humans, who no doubt cheat as there's no non-collision options, and no downloadable car set ups or user ghosts to time attack.
    Very overrated, a very small and minimal game which should be a budget game, it's not a full game. Even if this game was perfected it's so basic it'd only score 6/10.    … Expand

    It was free. It would be good to have the concept which contains the mechanics and the upgrades, but the game is completely unenjoyable. This is only played by those who are 100% rally gay and love to have instability and other unrealistic things.If you want to have fun, avoid this game.

    Dirt Rally delivers the most solid experience audio-visually and driving wise to the rally genre. Still, road surfaces and physics could be refined further, and we really need more rallies. [March 2016]

    Dirt Rally goes back to Colin McRae Rally, relinquishing all that modern Ghymkana nonsense and returning to the simple elegance of old rally titles. It’s also a game that makes you earn your triumphs and therefore makes them much more precious. [02/2016, p.52]
