I'm a big fan of Nascar, World of Outlaws, and Motocross so I'm always on the lookout for a good racing game. However, this game is mediocre at best and quickly becomes boring. The graphics are beautiful but that is about all this game has going for it. There just isn't enough head to head racing. Most of the game consists of point to point racing on empty dirt roads in time trial competitions. The truck races are my favorite but there just aren't enough of them in the game. If the game was all truck racing then I would probably like it much more. I played this game really heavy for about a week, but I quit pretty quickly after that. I just wasn't having fun. After all isn't the point of playing games having a good time? This game is boring. I'll take Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo over this any day of the week.

This game is kinda hard to start from the begining. I actually bought it and put it up for about 2 weeks until I decided to pull it out again. Once I figured out how to take the turns and how to race in general it got a lot easier. The acheivements are easy to get and the game is fun and addictive.
"Great off-road racing"

I love racing games but had only ever played one off-road racer before. Decided to try it again and am happy I did. The game has very good graphics and decent sound as well. The career mode is my favorite style of play, being able to try different kinds of racing, tracks and vehicles one race after another keeps the racing fresh.
The championship mode is also good, having to race more than one race to take the title is challenging when you set your vehicle up before the first race and can't change after that and the second race may have a totally different surface to race on. Having to fix damage in between races can be tricky as well since you only have 60 minutes to spend on several repairs, you may have to let some things slide.
The game is quite a lot of fun overall and I recommend it to anyone that loves racing games, plus you can't beat the reduced price now either.
My sons, 12 and 6 are both racing fanatics on the XBOX 360 and their portable psp's. They have outplayed the need for speed series and thus it was time for something new.
I had heard about DIRT from a buddy who plays it on PS3...he said the gameplay was realistic. We decided to give this a shot...
So far the boys are playing it 2-3 times a day and love the game play. They are finally ready to get rid of and trade in all of the need for speed games so they can keep DIRT for a while.
ps. GRID is another refreshing racing game to check out...
"Great game, few minor flaws, but very fun to play"

This is the first rally game I've played since VRally 99' for N64. But I was staring this title down at Circuit City and decided to buy it. I did not realize until I got home and looked up the reviews (yes, after already buying it, lol) that it was a member of the Colin McRae family of Rally games. Well anyway, it's a GREAT game, and a lot of fun to play. Here's my pros and cons, take them for what they're worth:
Pros:
-The graphics are great, everything looks realistic, and the cars look fantastic
-Career mode is cool, forces you to use every vehicle in the game, and most of which are a lot of fun, I enjoyed most the Subaru Impreza (naturally).
Cons: These are minor and easily overlooked, but I would like to see them in the next game:
-I'm almost finished with my career mode, and much to my surprise, not a single NIGHT rally. What gives? This rally game should include some night rallys where my only guiding light comes from my headlights, honestly, that'd be awesome
-No snow rallys?! Again what gives, there's rally's with "snowy" enviroments, but none where you're actually driving on the snow and constantly drifting. At least 2 or 3 would have been nice.
-Floaty feeling cars. Like others have said, the cars feel a bit "floaty" but it doesn't detract from the fun of the game... it's challenging, and exciting.
The game is great. But the lack of night and snow rallys upset me. VRally 99 for N64 had both of these and they were great. Why can't this game have them.
