    beutiful graphics, nice cars and great music can't make up for the fact that you can't keep your car under control and therefore can do absoulutly nothing with this game

    Mediocre graphics, horrible UI and annoying loading time doesn't make up for decent gameplay. Why some have praised this game is beyond all logic. You would get a better racing experience from driving in GTA 4.

    Ok. I got (at last) all the Platinum at Gymkhana. Now this game deserves a better score (than 0). But that ''annoying / pain-in-the-ass / hundreds of time / every event / repetitive / restarting'' in order to study specific track / car / timing / perfectly, just pissed me off enough.

    A very convincing package with stunning graphics and nice feel for arcade'ish racing. There's maybe a bit too much emphasis on gymkhana game mode though. [Aug 2011]

    Overall, Dirt 3 is nothing short of stellar. The sheer amount of variety – in race events, tracks, and vehicles – makes Dirt 3 a racer that you'll keep coming back to again and again, long after you've completed the Dirt Tour. Whether you're a fan of sim racers, arcade racers, or heck even Mario Kart, you should definitely check out Dirt 3.
