    Dirt 5 : Though I’ve long appreciated Codemasters Dirt Rally franchise, and I must say that such a simulation style approach to rally racing is’t my personal style of choice.

Heading up the third party racing games on the Xbox family of consoles is Dirt 5 which is more arcade appreciating and more fun than its predecessors. This very energy is embodied in the newest race types found in Dirt 5. From the fast and the furious hill climbing races to the mud splattering of the land rush contests, Dirt 5 offers a variety of arcade style racing modes for players to get into, and I am very happy that due to this Dirt has become much more enjoyable for a larger audience as a result. This sense of fun extends to other parts of Dirt 5’s overall experience and the variety of party modes within the game are brilliant. Multiplayer is also very impressive with Dirt 5 supporting up to twelve players, and it also offers up to four players to compete in a local split-screen for those that still may be in the position to share one Xbox console. Dirt 5 also brings a new Playgrounds mode which offers something new to the game as well. Essentially a stunt track creation sandbox mode that previously only existed in the our imaginations of adding in outrageous ramps, loops, and much more for players of the series to experience. Directly tying into Dirt 5’s wider scale of playability is the handling as Codemasters has stepped up the game making each vehicle a blast to use and easier to adapt to and drive overall. There’s quite an immersive feel to Dirt 5’s races as it is truly impressive on the the right television display and with the Xbox Series X which I particularly enjoyed my time with. With multiple views as usual each feels proper with myself always preferring to see my vehicle from behind which feels excellent with the core arcade driven feel of Dirt 5. You can also decide if you prefer resolution or frame rate as your priority, which I myself always prefer a smooth frame rate over graphic resolution anytime in a gaming experience it's just more immersive without stuttering or slowdown. I find Dirt 5 to be a substantial refreshing of the long running series that made it much more playable to more gamers as a result of the many changes instituted. The more hardcore and longer term Dirt fans might not immediately welcome this new feel and overall style, but as someone who is a bit burnt out on the simulation aspects of the many racing series on the Xbox consoles, I’d say that Dirt 5 makes a definitive arcade thunderclap on the Xbox One and Xbox Series S and X. Dirt 5 has taken my exceptions and exceeded them. I’m happy to say that even well after this review I will be truly enjoying all that Dirt 5 offers current generation Xbox owners and those who are fortunate enough to be enjoying the new generation of gaming on their new Xbox Series S and X consoles. Well done Codemasters, well done indeed.… Expand

    Dirt 5 is probably the best Racing Game on Xbox after Forza Horizon 4.The global tracks are really good and the soundtrack also is great. The variety of cars is solid, no car feels exactly the same. The sounds are good but the steering could be a bit better.

    The game take a more arcady feel to its gameplay and i loved that I had fun playing this game

    It might look a bit dated compared today's standards and some people would prefere the old rally feeling but honestly if you want the classic feeling, you can play dirt rally, that game is for you

    But how ever, i do find the game a little short especially for a 60$ game but its a racing game so what did you expect and also, for a racing game this game has an interesting story and that dialogue you hear from donut media everytime you complete a race is kinda funny and its fun to listen to it and i also i like how the weather changes during the races and these cool locations in the game

    Over all, i like this game, i really do

    Its a fun racing game and if you're a dirt fan and want to buy this game

    Dont hesitate to do so, its really worth it    … Expand

    This is the best Dirt in a long time. Play DIRT Rally if you want a sim. However DiRT 5 is just plain fun. I could do without the gimmicky Donut podcast but it doesn't take away from the game. It looks and play great.

Скорее всего вышло сие недоразумение в виду скопления пеших приключений в количестве пятиста вагонов, пришлось разгружаться. Последнее во что мы жгли резину и рвали железо в клочья был Grid 2 2013 года. Жанр сей мною горячо любим и конечно немного странно что получилась такая большая пауза, и вот наконец настало то самое время, чтобы вернуться к нему. Пожалуй, сложно придумать для себя лучшее возвращение к автогонкам нежели вместе с Dirt 5. Серию Colin McRae Rally Dirt знаю не понаслышке, когда-то вторую и третью часть еще на компе проходил с неописуемым удовольствием. И вот теперь наконец добрались мы с женой до почти что свежачка конца 2020 года — Dirt 5! Ииииииии, это снова восторг!!! Насколько же подросла игра во всех смыслах, уровень реализма происходящего просто поражает воображение. Проходили мы в Dirt 5 карьеру, то бишь местную кампанию, которую при желании, кстати говоря, можно проходить на сплитскрине аж вчетвером. Путь был длинен, может быть стоило сделать его покороче, совсем на чуть-чуть. Но что это были за гонки!!! Покатались мы по трассам США, Греции, Италии, Бразилии, Марокко, Южной Африки, Китая, Непала, Норвегии. Трассы некоторые повторялись, случались и реверсивные их братья, но самое главное, назвать их одинаковыми язык не поворачивается, потому как каждая автобаталия проходила в особенных условиях будь-то снежная метель, или сильный дождь, песчаная буря, резкая смена времени суток в течение одного заезда. Выглядит всё это потрясающе!!! Несешься ты по заснеженной трассе в Норвегии в ночи и тут внезапно северное сияние начинает озарять путь гипнотической игрой света, спустя какое-то время налетает ослепительная метель сдобренная громом и молнией. Класс и неописуемый восторг!!! По сути почти каждая гонка несет в себе сопутствующим антуражем фестиваль ярких стихийных событий, и это я уже молчу о всяких пролетающих над головой самолетах, салютах и всяческой зрелищной иллюминации/подсветке трасс, что особенно круто выглядит в ночное время. Летящая из-под колес грязь, клубящаяся пыль в крутом заносе, пар от раскаленных железных торсов в зимнюю стужу, ослепляющее игривое солнце Италии возводит удовольствие от происходящего до запредельного уровня. Заезды в Dirt 5 также делятся на несколько категорий — это рубка на бездорожье, ледовое скольжение, дрифт-состязания, сингловое преодоление горных участков. Автомобилей и их классов более чем достаточно, есть конечно те, которые Codemasters приберегли для отдельной продажи, ну что уж поделаешь — модно нынче так, дополнительные заработки разработчикам никто не отменял. Мы себя в любом случае не чувствовали ущемленными и нам транспортных средств хватило.… Expand

I've sank dozens of hours into the dirt, and i can tell you the courses are here; vivid and glorious. Turn up the difficulty whenever you can - the challenge is a great egg on. Very hard is a good push for online as it should be. It's great to be back, the best elements are here. It deserves a fair chance so go have some fun!… Expand

    All in all, it's playable and enjoyable; however, the game will need some more content and definitely more bug fixes in future updates. In other words, it's not entirely polished. Although it may not be polished, it's highly recommended for arcade racers, no doubt about that. If you've been on Forza Motorsport or Project CARS 3 before, then this might be something for you. Great track layout and astonishing graphics makes the game special. Dirt veterans may also recognise the similarities between this and the older games.

    DIRT 5 is superb and will quench the thirst of anybody who believes racing games have become too sim-heavy and boring. Some will lament the lack of true rallying and the ostentatious Americanised presentation but why complain when you can fully embrace the arcade richness on display here. Simply put, DIRT 5 is excellent and will leave you craving for more – now go out and there and drink it up.

    Overall, DIRT 5 fixes everything that was iffy about the prior entry and does so in a way that breathes new life into the long-running series. DIRT 5 has smoother controls and more versatile framerate options than prior entries have had – at least on consoles – and the addition of non-position objectives helps makes races more replayable and a bit more fun since you may have to step outside of your comfort zone, or more accurately, increase your comfort zone over time, to fully embrace it. DIRT 5 clicks with the player faster than any prior entry and is an absolute must-play for anyone who has loved the series before, or who hasn’t and wants to start fresh. There’s no better rally racer on the market than DIRT 5.
