    The game is pretty much for ppl that cant handle great sims like forza 2. The easier arcade style game.

    Vite fini, vite oublié... Dirt, c'est du macgerbale dans un bel emballage : très beau, toujours fluide, partie sonore très réussie, replays corrects. Mais le contenu est creux : conduite très arcade et insipide, les voitures de rallye qui freinent comme des Formule 1... Seule la grande diversité des épreuves permet de tenir le coup jusqu'à la fin ! bref, du Codemasters standard si l'onVite fini, vite oublié...

    No local multiplayer on a single console and the pretty boring races with lorrys really brings down an otherwise fun off-road racing game.

    Average game all round. Colin was a British driver not some American and the camera angles a just Horrible! other wise "Non-Rally" truck type racing is fun.

    Beautiful menu, nice graphics. Poor physics, poor realism, poor fun-factor (car reset "feature"? gimmie a break! all this beautiful scenery beyond the bounds of the track, and we can't touch it), overall a fantastic idea with some high points that was poorly executed.

    I am a huge fan of the McRae series. This one is terrible, though. No car stops this fast, corners exactly the same on dirt, wet gravel and pavement, or has such a bad framerate drop from the in car view, which has always been my favorite. the framerate is fine outside the car but from inside it is aweful, and there is no excuse for that given that the game is not really utilizing the I am a huge fan of the McRae series.

Glad the free demo was available..I won't be buying this one even on half.com for 2 bucks. It just infuriates me because I loves the francise until now. The last regular xbox version is completely superior in physics and smoothness. Maybe next time. Expand

    So don't let Dirt's pointed non--"PGR"-ness stop you in the slightest--if all you care about is great gameplay, it's easily one of the best 360 racing games yet. [July 2007, p.74]

    When you can count every leaf on every piece of brush across a three mile track, that's a major graphical accomplishment. If only every aspect of DiRT matched the graphics and presentation, it would be among the top racers on Xbox 360. DiRT still hasn't fixed Colin McRae's longtime use of a central pivot for turning and the racing feels floaty at times.
  3. The core racing is thrilling yet accessible and the amount of content on offer will keep players enthralled for some time. Some inexplicable frame rate problems and a lacklustre online multiplayer mode prevent this from being a classic.
